"What shall we do with a man who is afraid of the woods, their solitude and darkness? What salvation is there for him? God is silent and mysterious..."
~ Henry David Thoreau, Journal (Nov. 16, 1850)
Henry obviously didn't appreciate the virtues of life in the city or city dwellers.

The video that set off Trump tells members of the armed services and intelligence agencies to not follow *illegal* orders. The president said that message is "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"
Again, the message is about ILLEGAL orders. www.youtube.com/shorts/Fk9Gh...

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

Visited a remnant of the last ice age in NE Illinois! Volo Bog is the southernmost open-water quaking bog in North America, created in a kettle hole left by a receding glacier about 10,000 years ago. Now a rare habitat for carnivorous plants!
