Note: Just heard the quote again, Dear D, on the Sunday afternoon replay of Praire Home Companion. Believe it goes,
"People sleep peaceably in their own beds, only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
*Freedom always was, still is and always will be the coin of the realm.

May 30: Dear D, the short list of things The Almighty dislikes was never limited to arrogance, sin, evil, and (the wood, hay and stubble
dead works of) human good. Since one of His attributes is omniscience, ignorance always sat high on the list. By the way, since He enjoys
perfect happiness, an incredibly relaxed sense of humor is also quite evident. Look closely, again for the first time, in your vanity mirror.
