dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, 

a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage,

Thoughts for today:

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by 

the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different 

ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself 

a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and 

permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually 

incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute 

power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing 

faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this 

disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.

                                           --- From George Washington's Farewell Address, 1796

Be a nuisance where it counts. Do your part to inform and stimulate the public 

to join your action. Be depressed, discouraged, and disappointed at failure and 

the disheartening effects of ignorance, greed, corruption and bad politics — but 

never give up. 

                                           --- Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890 - 1998)
