"Maybe the most important thing is to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just going to live in it versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.
Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

Oct. 3, 1967, American singer, songwriter Woody Guthrie died from Huntington's Chorea, an hereditary disease.
He wrote 100s of songs, but his best-known is 'This Land Is Your Land,' which is regularly sung in American schools and has become the unofficial anthem of American democracy and protest.
I found that the church is still standing tall. This is the current view from roughly the same POV via Google Maps.
Fascinating that the prominent telephone pole in the B&W photo (an assumption it's not power) has been replaced in the 21st century with a 5G tower.
Almost in the exact same spot!

Cliff Palace was inhabited by Ancestral Puebloans, once called “Anasazi,” a term now outdated.

"The heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated."
Incredible footage of Robert F. Kennedy, US Attorney General, in action after President Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard. Governor Wallace had unlawfully blocked two Black students from registering at the University of Alabama.

The tech and ease of use are concerns, but look at the revisionist history regarding Pete Rose. *ducks* You're right; it doesn't seem like anyone cares.

Cheers to the sci-fi thinkers, the creatives with vast ideas that will travel further than their bodies ever could.
