This scale does not measure character, beauty, or talent.

“This scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure character, beauty, talent, purpose, possibility, strength, or love.”

Smile, this sign is attached to the wall in my sister’s doctor’s office above the scales – where you weigh-in. Too fun. So true. June 16, 2017

And yes, my sister is awesome. And yes, she is a brainiac. Just saying.

August 20, 1967: Sargent Shriver said Unity is ‘built by all Americans’

June 22, 2015 http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2015/06/august-20-1967-sargent-shriver-said.html

In a recent tweet – on June 22, 2015, Maria Shriver ‏@mariashriver, noted that her father, (Westminster, Carroll County, Md. native son) Sargent Shriver, said “My father said Unity is ‘built by all Americans.’ Sadly, words still relevant @RSargentShriver: http://eepurl.com/bq43Ir”

On August 20, 1967, Mr. Shriver said: “"We have a statue of liberty on the east coast given to us by a foreign community. But we need a statue of unity built by all Americans, for all Americans -- in every American community. Today, our nation is not united. This country is in trouble because too many Americans prefer not to know each other. Not to care about each other. […] Our country cannot go on like this."

This may be found on the Sargent Shriver Peace Institute website, http://www.sargentshriver.org/speech-article/address-to-the-negro-shriners-convention.

According to the website, “Sargent Shriver did not shy away from speaking about racism throughout his career. This address at the black Shriner convention in August of 1967, given in the middle of a long, tumultuous summer of rioting throughout the country, demonstrates his frankness and his concern on the topic of racial inequality…”

He said this in an “Address to the Negro Shriners Convention, CLEVELAND, OH.

He also said: “It is keeping America divided into ghettos--not the city slums, but ghettos of the mind where we seal off parts of democracy that don't suit us, where we box off our obligations to justice and shut out our commitments to fairness. These ghettos of the mind are more damaging to America than the ghettos of the city…”

Indeed, Sargent Shriver did not shy away from speaking about racism throughout his career. Read the entire speech here: http://sargentshriver.org/speech-article/address-to-the-negro-shriners-convention

Journalistic integrity boils down to the individual

Journalistic integrity boils down to the individual, and if someone’s willing to be corrupted, it’s probably not just the possibility of a job in the industry that’s a problem. — Elizabeth Spiers, talking to the Content Strategist about tech reporters who go on to work in tech, sometimes for the companies they cover.

Jay Ambrose: Dems want to avoid certain words

Ambrose: Dems want to avoid certain words

Saturday, October 9, 2010 By Jay Ambrose

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/opinion/columnists/article_37bdbdfe-d326-11df-a559-001cc4c002e0.html

The news is bad economically for the country and bad politically for the Democrats, and there may be some words they will want to avoid, such as "food stamps." I would throw in "oil spill" and "light bulbs," though it will take me a few paragraphs to get there.

Meanwhile, here's a new, foreboding record for the

United States

- 41.8 million people receiving the aforementioned food stamps in a human catastrophe brought on by unemployment rising scarily again. With an eye to November's midterm elections, Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has responded by referring to Democrats as "the party of food stamps," as opposed to the Republicans, viewed by him as "the party of paychecks."

It's rhetoric packed with partisan purpose, to be sure, but also some analytical insightfulness. Properly devised safety nets are needed when the free market is not delivering everything it can, but a chief reason it is not performing well right now is a government scaring businesses into investment of the kind where you first find a mattress and then stick your money underneath it.

The perceived threats are multiple - what might happen when the Obamacare mayhem fully kicks in, if the dollar keeps collapsing, if debt keeps accumulating, if taxes go up, if no one stops the madness that assumes it's not free exchange that is finally the source of all wealth, but the cleverness of the leftists now in power… http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/opinion/columnists/article_37bdbdfe-d326-11df-a559-001cc4c002e0.html

It doesn’t matter what this sign says, you’ll call it racism anyway.

After hearing about signs such as this at Tea Party gatherings, I finally gathered this picture from the Internet on April 14, 2010. It is a sad commentary on the current state of free speech in our country.
