Life is how it is, not how it was
you got to let it come to you,
and when it does
you will know
what to do.

Freedom is participation in power. - CICERO
The following are a few quotes I thought insightful on America, freedom, and creativity. I'm hoping they'll win me a couple Jeopardy points too.
J.William Fulbright (Arkansas senator)
It is not our affluence, or our plumbing, or our clogged freeways that grip the imagination of others. Rather, it is the values upon which our system is built. These values imply our adherence not only to liberty and individual freedom, but also to international peace, law and order, and constructive social purpose. When we depart from these values, we do so at our peril.
John Marshall Harlan (US Supreme Court associate justice)
Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humbles is the peer of the most powerful.
Robert H. Jackson (US Supreme Court associate justice)
The price of freedom of religion or of speech or of the press is that we must put up with... a good deal of rubbish.
Leonard Roy Frank (Author)
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
Anonymous US inscription on the Korean War Memorial
Freedom is Not Free.
John Goodwin (English writer)
Freedom of conscience is a natural right, both antecedent and superior to all human laws and institutions whatever: a right which laws never gave and which laws can never take away.
Albert Camus (French writer)
There is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it.
Thomas Alva Edison (US inventor)
M.A.Rosanoff: Mr. Edison, please tell me what laboratory rules you want me to observe.
Edison: Hell! There ain't no rules around here! We're trying to accomplish somep'n!
Arnold J. Toynbee (English historian)
Encounters taking the form of challenge-and-response are the most illuminating kind of events for a student of human affairs if he believes, as I believe, that one of the most distinctive characteristics of Man is that he is partially free to make choices... Encounters are the occasions in human life on which freedom and creativity come into play and on which new things are brought into existence.

Seminole Wind
50th Anniversary of the Seminole Charter
Tia's for dinner; Sarah came and met the Zepeda's for the first time tonight! After "2 4 1" margaritas and some enchiladas we went back to the Hard Rock for a ladies night out. Live jazz, good friends, talk, and beer! It's been a highly memorable evening :)
