Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Get some good pictures, as many as you can. Not some cheesy blurry phone picture. Unless you have a good phone. Do your WWI rifle proud. :thumbsup:
