“As soon as public service ceases to be the chief business of the citizens, and they would rather serve with their money than with their persons, the State is not far from its fall”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -Martin Luther King Jr.

Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
From Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)

Skip de skip, up the road
Off to school you go
"Don't you be a bad boy Johnny
Don't you slip up or play the fool"
"Oh no ma, oh no da,
I'll be your golden boy
I will obey every golden rule"
Get told by the teacher
Not to daydream
Told by my mother:
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good be good (johnny)
