Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories.

You and Thomas Jefferson are so correct.

All the best for a prayerful Sunday, September 11, 2011, with thanks to our first responders.

All three of those should be at Ground Zero Ceremonies tomorrow: prayers, police, firemen. There is something really wrong that they are not scheduled to be part of the program.

Big hugs,
Lois
