The Editors’ Quote of the Day:

“If America could be, once again, a nation of self-reliant farmers, craftsmen, hunters, ranchers and artists, then the rich would have little power to dominate others. Neither to serve nor to rule. That was the American Dream.” – Edward Abbey

  1. I so appreciate that quote of Edward Abbey. An earthy man.

    I offer this quote by an earthy woman:
    “To have a real life, people must participate in real community. In fact, a
    new cultural definition of wealth could be not the GNP, but how many people
    truly know and care about each other.” ~ Mary Pipher

    Carry on

  2. Self-reliance is certainly the key to freedom. Independence from man, dependence upon God and nature.

    However, those who wish to be independent of, and free from, God, have a risky gamble depending on nature alone, because independence from God leads to a violation of nature’s laws. And nature is a remorseless disciplinarian.
