Why fight the "natural" (oh, weaselly word!) order of things? Why? Because of this:–one fine day, a purely predatory world /shall/ consume itself.

What moral to draw? Peace, though beloved of our Lord, is a cardinal virtue only if your neighbors share your conscience.

A life spent shaping a world I want Jackson to inherit, not one I fear Jackson shall inherit, this strikes me as a life worth the living. Upon my return to San Francisco, I shall pledge myself to the Abolitionist cause, because I owe my life to a self-freed slave & because I must begin somewhere.

[jribax]

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?
