The Forgotten Origin Of The Pledge Of Allegiance And America’s Weird Naziesque Salute

Latest article at Addicting Info on the history of the Pledge of Allegiance, and the political dimension concerning calls to "remember" certain aspects of history divorced from context.

"What we can say with greater certainty, however, is that when social-conservatives decry the fabricated forgetting of the practice of pledging allegiance they are not fully aware of the entire history of the practi Read more of this blog post »

“Truth is beauty to the mind, beauty is truth to the heart.”
Wes Bishop

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope.”
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“She would defend herself, saying that love, no matter what else it might be, was a natural talent. She would say: You are either born knowing how, or you never know.”
Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“How satisfying it is to leave a mark on a blank surface. To make a map of my movement - no matter how temporary.”
Craig Thompson, Blankets

“Truth is beauty to the mind, beauty is truth to the heart.”
