THINK LOCAL: Revisited
The past presidential election and the present economy stimulus proposal are examples of partisan politics, while the immediate needs of local citizens remain unresolved.

Alexander Pope. A literary genius
Alexander Pope is then third most quoted writer in the English language, after Shakespeare and Tennyson. Born in London in 1688 and died in 1744, aged 56, Pope suffered from early childhood with a spinal disease which deformed his body and stunted his growth (4 feet 6 inches tall).
After his formal education he embarked on an extensive campaign of reading despite religious persecution as a Roman Catholic. The Rape of the Lock, 1712, is one of his most popular poems. It is a mock-heroic epic, making fun of a high society quarrel about a Lord who had snipped a lock of hair from a lady's head without her permission.

Inspiration is something else, and to me it is the ability of someone to make me work harder to reach my goals and to be persistent in doing so while being fair minded with a compassion that is equal to the task.
