"The trouble with the world," said the Master with a sigh, "is that human beings refuse to grow up."
"When can a person be said to have grown up?" asked a disciple.
"On the day he does not need to be lied to about anything."

So, then, to every man his chance -- to every man, regardless of his birth,
his shining golden opportunity -- to every man his right to live, to work, to be himself,
to become whatever his manhood and his vision can combine to make him -- this,
seeker, is the promise of America.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

I disagree. We are all influenced by the pain/pleasure principle. We all move toward pleasure. Thus, pleasure is a goal. _________________ Aruba Trip Reports |

Not a famous person quote, just heard on a radio talk show......
We don't have a health care system in the United States, we have a sick care system.
Refers to various things as I see it:
- health care is not really preventative
- there are too many people without insurance and routine care
- the exhobitant cost to individuals and the nation as a whole |

Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States.
I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.
