A.Word.A.Day:
Botany Bay
from Wordsmith.org


Thought of the Day:
No greater mistake can be made than to think that our institutions are fixed or may not be changed for the worse. ... Increasing prosperity tends to breed indifference and to corrupt moral soundness. Glaring inequalities in condition create discontent and strain the democratic relation. The vicious are the willing, and the ignorant are unconscious instruments of political artifice. Selfishness and demagoguery take advantage of liberty. The selfish hand constantly seeks to control government, and every increase of governmental power, even to meet just needs, furnishes opportunity for abuse and stimulates the effort to bend it to improper uses. ... The peril of this nation is not in any foreign foe! We, the people, are its power, its peril, and its hope! -Charles Evans Hughes, jurist and statesman (11 Apr 1862-1948)

Update:

Just realized that this post was less than 140 characters..hmm.

Though fictional, this is a really cool idea..6 continents 62 countries and 55 days. Reminds me of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman traveling around the world in Bucket List. Yeah thats some life :)

This is a good video which I stumbled upon the other day. The message is even better, If you have not failed you have not lived.
