What I am reading
Words of Wisdom
It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
Mark Twain
The true theory of our Constitution is surly the wisest and best ... [for] when all government ... shall be drawn to Washington as the centre of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as ... oppressive as the government from which we separated.
Thomas Jefferson
I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.
James Madison
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may 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.
C. S. Lewis

Where it gives you the html code and says embed, just copy and paste the html into your post.
I just watched it. Glad I did. Thanks for posting that.
Thanks, Anna.
I didn't follow the original link you posted and if you hadn't posted the video, I probably would have missed it. It was really good. Thanks.
D.
I want to be a tigger. Thanks for sharing.
Funny thing is that I just came home from visiting teaching, and the lady I was visiting told me about this lecture and offered to email it to me! Anyway, it was as good as she said it was. Really puts things into perspective. Thanks.
Really good. Made me cry.
I showed it to Alan, and it made him cry too!
