Ertain<p>I look at my <a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/tags/calendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>calendar</span></a>, and it's a new month. This month has a quote from Henry David <a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/tags/Thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thoreau</span></a>: "I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees."</p><p>Wait, does that mean David walked out of the <a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/tags/forest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forest</span></a> high? <a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Quotes</span></a></p>
Elias<p>Reading this today: "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849.</p><p>Thoreau was interested in right and wrong. He considered slavery to be wrong. Slavery was legal in the society he lived in (USA 1849).</p><p>"Under a government which imprisons anyone unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison."</p><p>If you lived in a society upholding something as appalling as slavery, would you still support that state by paying taxes?</p><p>A relevant question, then and now.</p><p><a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/Thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thoreau</span></a></p>

Joe Biden’s Stutter<p>&quot;<a href="https://freeatlantis.com/tags/Government" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Government</span></a> is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient.&quot; - Henry David <a href="https://freeatlantis.com/tags/Thoreau" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Thoreau</span></a></p>
