A quotation from Wendell Berry
People who live at the lower ends of watersheds cannot be isolationists — or not for long. Pretty soon they will notice that water flows, and that will set them to thinking about the people upstream who either do or do not send down their silt and pollutants and garbage. Thinking about the people upstream out to cause further thinking about the people downstream. Such pondering on the facts of gravity and the fluidity of water shows us that the golden rule speaks to a condition of absolute interdependency and obligation. People who live on rivers — or, in fact, anywhere in a watershed — might rephrase the rule in this way: Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

👮♂️🚨 Ah, the classic story of #heroism amidst chaos—because nothing says "good neighbor" like playing shield in a federal raid. 🎭 Meanwhile, the SunTimes boasts about a three-year paywall-free streak, valiantly suggesting that financial survival is sooo overrated. 💸⬇️

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor — the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others — the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
