on president’s day
remembering those placemats that taught us about our country
—
“justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity,
those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.”
-aleksandr solzhenitsyn

I went to Florida in 1990 and we used to eat ad Denny’s. The children collected little rubber models of the planets of the solar system. I don’t think that we managed to get all of them.

what a marvellous idea: place-mats that tell us about our country: don’t know if it’s been tried here ?

All of the ideals that we’ve been taught, such as justice for all, seem a bit hollow.

And you can color on them and throw them away! Probably not as common these days due to environmental concerns
