Some of my readers may be familiar with The Desiderata, found in Old St. Paul’s Church in Baltimore in 1693. It’s a beautiful document; I have framed and read periodically. It’s very uplifting, and I’m going to reprint in its entirety, because you too, may find it uplifting during these times of crisis.
“Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender be on good terms with all persons’”
“Speak your truth, quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story”

Spring is popping out everywhere and the universe is unfolding as it should.
Sitting here in this pretty little town of Gainesville, Georgia, at the foot-hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on Lake Lanier, spring is bursting out all over. First the Bradford pear trees in full bloom, an awesome sight, followed by jonquils and flowering shrubbery.
In a few days, all of the azaleas will be in full bloom. Along the main street through town, all these beautiful antebellum mansions line the street. As the trees turn green and the flowers bloom its surreal in its beauty.

Recently, I’ve posted several articles about the tax-supported school system, from kindergarten through high school, and how half the tax monies collected in this state goes to schooling, according to budget and planning. Billions go into the Socialist school system.
There is a Libertarian blog site that I read most every day where several bloggers submit articles. There is some really good stuff. Many of the post are from the Austrian School of Economics, The Von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama.

How many are alive who may remember the song during World War II, “Buckle down Winsocki?” It’s a spirited motivating song.
Perhaps we need to revive at this time, because we are in the middle of a battle, a war of ideas.
Lately, the news is dominated by bail-outs, CEO bonuses, stimulus packages and all sorts of wrangling about money in Washington, which prompts me to be reminded of a few simple truths. Like a quote from The House of Rothschild, who said, “Give me control of the money and I care not who makes the laws.”
