Believe It or Not!
Across America
- Forget about using a dish towel in the state of Oregon or in Minneapolis. Letting china air-dry is the only allowable way.
- In Florida, you're in trouble if you shatter more than three dishes per day, or chip the edges of more than four cups and/or saucers. If you get your kicks tossing plates, don't try it from any window above the ground floor of a house or apartment in Freeport, Illinois.
- In Kansas, you can't stack plates more than eight high.
- Watch out for gangs of rug beaters on the streets of San Francisco between midnight and 8 a.m, the only hours one is permitted to beat a rug on the sidewalk in that city. You're safer in Port Jervis, New York, where the law prohibits "the spreading of a carpet or rug on any city street," at any time.
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, doesn't legislate what you can do with your rug outdoors, but indoors, it's a crime to sweep dirt under it.
- California requires "housewives" to boil their dust rags or risk jail time.
Judicial Absurdity
Lawyer Brittney Horstman’s experience with a bra and a metal detector kept her from visiting a jailed client earlier this month.
Horstman wasn’t allowed into the Miami Federal Detention Center because her underwire bra set off the metal detector, the Miami Herald reports. After a visit to the restroom, she returned without her bra, but this time she wasn’t allowed into the jail because of the prison dress code. ...

Treaties and the Constitution
Article VI(2) "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/staterights/treaties.htm http://www.cephas-library.com/nwo/nwo_how_treaties_trmp_the_constitution.html If future generations are to know the freedom that propelled America to its leadership of the world, much of the freedom lost must be reclaimed. That reclamation must begin at the local courthouse and extend to Congress and to the White House. Government at every level has been permeated by people who believe that government control of society creates better living conditions for society than can be created by individual freedom and free markets.

Women in History:
Dorothy Thompson (1894 - 1961), By Jone Johnson Lewis
Dorothy Thompson is famous for her interview with Adolf Hitler in 1931, and for underestimating the danger of Hitler. Dorothy Thompson notably wrote on the politics around the founding of the state of Israel, supporting then opposing the creation of that state. She'd been proposed in 1940 as a running mate for Wendell Wilkie.- Many of Dorothy comments remian highly relevant five decades after her demise. Here are a few for future reference.
- When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered.
- It is not the fact of liberty but the way in which liberty is exercised that ultimately determines whether liberty itself survives.
- Of all forms of government and society, those of free men and women are in many respects the most brittle. They give the fullest freedom for activities of private persons and groups who often identify their own interests, essentially selfish, with the general welfare.
- Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict -- alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.
- Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.
- Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
- Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
- There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.
- The kind of intelligence a genius has is a different sort of intelligence. The thinking of a genius does not proceed logically. It leaps with great ellipses. It pulls knowledge from God knows where.
- The instinct to worship is hardly less strong than the instinct to eat.
- There is nothing more demoralizing than sudden, overwhelming disillusionment.
- Disillusion comes only to the illusioned. One cannot be disillusioned of what one never put faith in.
