It's not politicians who will end oppression. It's the radicals, with the stink in their clothes, rebellion in their brain, hope in their heart and direct action in their fists.

"What would the world be, once bereft of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."
—From “Inversnaid” by Gerard Manley Hopkins

The Greater Siren doesn't fear a dry spell. They will burrow deep into the peat, secrete a protective cocoon, and wait out the drought until the blackwater rises again. Southern Cunning Folk know this: They are the *water* that *fire* cannot put out!

By "educated" I would mean what Jefferson meant...having read the major works of literature, having an understanding of the broad periods of history into which the world's past is divided, perhaps speaking another language or at least being aware of other languages and having some competence. But I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates, necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.

An honor system, properly conceived, is not the concrete representation of the wills of a collection of saints -- our honest nature writ large. If it were, it would be nothing else than a bizarre superfluity. It is instead the proclamation and legislation of the intentions of a community of persons united in mutual agreement to oppose those inclinations and strategies that they otherwise might give in to and adopt to further their individual ends. The members of groups that create honor systems say: We are , all of us, liars, cheaters, theives, - but we want to live another way. We think we can, with others' help.
-- D. Heim (Rethinking Honor, J Thought 17 (1982) pp3-6)) -

The real University... has no specific location. It owns no property, pays no salaries, and receives no material dues.... The real University is a state of mind. It is that great heritage of rational thought that has been brought down to us through the centuries.

Harriet Beecher Stowe found a "perpetual flower-garden" in the blackwater. Today, the blazing Solstice Sun illuminates the proof: a stunning Bartram’s Rose Gentian shining out from the muck. The swamp remains a glorious, beautifully untamed impropriety!

The Summer Solstice brings the year’s brightest fire to the swamp floor, holding the landscape in absolute clarity. With next month's UNESCO vote looming, the world is finally seeing what the blackwater has always known: this place is a universal treasure!
