I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.

People are asking me about the race problem.... I know of no race problem. The great problem that confronts the American people to-day is a national problem -- whether this great nation of ours is great enough to live up to its own convictions, carry out its own declaration of independence, and execute the provisions of its own constitution.

Southern take for #TombTuesday "Queen of the Okefenokee", Lydia Stone. She was at least 6ft tall, & became a very wealthy land owner during a time when women were not usually empowered. My father saw her once as a very little boy. He never forgot it. I love visiting her grave! #Georgia #Okefenokee

If you need a masterclass in well-deserved rest, look to the apex Landlord of the Swamp.
Nothing relaxes like an alligator on a hot July afternoon -sprawled out in the blackwater mud, soaking up the heat, completely unbothered by the world moving past.

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."

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.
