I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

- de Tocqueville 1831

Please Pardon the Inconvenience

The previous two posts did not have a comment section. Please leave your comments below; please.   You wouldn't believe how frail my ego is.

Just a bit of old guy advice... If you're blogging, unfragile your ego. Sometimes the best blog posts turn out to be little more than a prayer to the sky that seems to disappear into the whispy whites.

Have fun writing and ranting. Many people read but few comment. Good luck!

I think that's true, Nickie! I only get a comment for about every 30 people who read. what's up with that?
