Saturday 9: The Happy Labor Day Meme

Crazy Sam's Saturday 9: The Happy Labor Day Meme

1. What are you doing special this weekend for Labor Day?
On Labor Day, I am going to a party, but right now I am up at the cottage.

2. What was your best vacation this past summer?
The summer…

3. Did you do anything special for the 4th of July?
We were up at the cottage and had a fireworks display of our own (It is legal in New Hampshire)

4. What did you do special for Memorial Day?
Worked up at the cottage.

5. How was the weather? Tell us where you live and how the weather was as compared to summers past.
We were lucky and had good weather most of the time both in Connecticut and New Hampshire. A number of rainy weekends, but when you are retired, weekend are no different the weekdays.

6. Did you discover a new favorite summer drink?
The same old, same old lemonade

7. Did you enjoy this summer’s Olympics?
I didn’t watch them, I was having too much fun up at cottage

8. I am from New England (Rhode Island). Lobster rules supreme in the summer. Is lobster part of your summer ritual?
Why limit lobster to only the summer? We just had some lobster in cream sauce last night. But I like not just lobster but also steamed clams, fried clams, New England Clam Chowder and corn on the cob

9. What was the best single day of your summer?
It is hard to limit it to just one day, but last weekend was on the top ten.

I agree with you on lobster. In fact it is huge here for New Years. Happy Saturday, Diana!

Ooooh, a cottage. I'd love to have one somewhere that isn't 95 degrees and 95% humidity--lucky you :)

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
