Quote of the Day: Washington Irving
Note to Self...
If you're not predisposed to a good nature, keep a good and patient friend who has one.
An inexhaustible nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the trouble sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.

Everything Is Local
My trickle up theory...
social, economic and political
As great as widespread communication has been for our era, from telephones to television to internet, connecting us to people miles away in a wider world than our own smaller one...eventually we begin to discover that the wider world is just a bigger version of our smaller one.
Similarly, social, economic and political national trends really are just larger manifestations of what is happening all around the country in cities and states. It's human nature that behavior of all sorts trickles up, although sometimes it appears that it comes from a wider source. Fashion is like that.
Popular trends are an example of this. Somewhere, in some place, some people start doing something or saying something and some how it becomes a meme and goes mainstream. Although it appears to have started on a large scale and trickled down, actually the opposite has happened.
