Hey, this here is the fourth bulletin... I'm feeling a bit lazy tonight (don't blame me, blame the system that brings us all down, and rage against that machine...) So this one's going to be slim on the original content, heavy on the quotes... with all those years of wisdom, why look to just one source for thoughtful musings? Speaking of which, that's something that always gets me about devotion to granfalloons (read your Vonnegut) like religion and nationality...
How can the wisdom of one individual, no matter how wise, supersede everything else meaningful that's ever been said or written? Why should we question the constitutionality of an issue before we question its inherent justice? Jefferson, Christ, Mohammed, Marx, they're all prophets and have legitimacy. They're compasses that show you where YOU are, not where truth lies... that's up to you. And there's no roadmap, only tales of past explorers, ranging from Buddha to that bum on the street who you just passed because "his plight doesn't affect me". Open your mind, change the world...>>>

"They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up its stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humility; but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage towards its fountain head..."
[Damn straight. Nobody said this was going to be easy]
"... The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress towards a true respect for the individual... Is a democracy, such as we know itthe last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly."

-Henry David Thoreau, "On the Duty of Civil Disobediance". And to find out why it Is a duty, tune in later.
