It's a good day to remember that here in the US, all of our freedoms, all of our rights, as well as our natural environment and our common good, are protected by our federal government.
The federal government is not always equal to this mandate but it is important to honor the fact that it exists.

Tweeter Says: the World Cup conspiracy
The difference between old guys and crazy old guys: Old guys don't get why the World Cup is such a big deal. Crazy old guys believe that the World Cup being such a big deal is another Obama conspiracy.

Tweeter Says: Bribes are just somebody's way of saying I love you
What's the fuss about Congress killing disclosure of who finances their free trips? If money is speech and corporations are people, what's the problem? Bribes are just somebody's way of saying I love you.

Emerson for the Day
“I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men’s lives; some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land; for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me.”
Thoreau
