“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...

Got to listen to NPR personalities read The Declaration of Independence twice this am. Their great familiar voices gave me some new perspective on being an American and the many aspects of tyranny that seem to multiply like weeds without our vigilent watchfulness and independent fundamentals.
(Reading it to myself just didn't have the same impact)

Happy Fourth! We just heard that it has only been a holiday since the 40s? Weird thought.
Plant it and they will come.
