We read Self-Reliance the other day, and I fell in love with the peace. I think everyone should read this. The mob mentality is just too dangerous. We should have individual thoughts, something many people these days are lacking.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-35320706080634326082011-10-12T21:47:45.350-04:002011-10-12T21:47:45.350-04:00Good thoughts.

IMHO this essay should be read by all the Occupy Wall Street folks, it would and should encourage them in what they are doing!brotherdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597543573448439126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-84335519154490403572011-10-12T16:21:56.603-04:002011-10-12T16:21:56.603-04:00I told you I'd be back.

A good self-reminder. :)Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445128608422429761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-36390460901393319542011-10-12T08:54:17.509-04:002011-10-12T08:54:17.509-04:00I will have to come back and re-read this.
