    This is a picture of the chair that Lincoln was sitting in when assasinated at the Fords theater. I was able to see this on a family vaction to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI. It really stuck out to me at the time. Thought I would share. Oddly enough they have the car Kennedy was assasinated in at the museum also. It is a great muesum. I can't wait to take my kids when they are old enough.

    Die when I may, I want it said by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

    hmmm my only answer to that....
    "Crazy"

    I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
    There was something so pleasant about that place.
    Even your emotions had an echo
    In so much space

    And when you're out there
    Without care,
    Yeah, I was out of touch
    But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
    I just knew too much

    Does that make me crazy?
    Does that make me crazy?
    Does that make me crazy?
    Possibly
    probably

    And I hope that you are having the time of your life
    But think twice, that's my only advice

    Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
    Ha ha ha bless your soul
    You really think you're in control

    Well, I think you're crazy
    I think you're crazy
    I think you're crazy
    Just like me

    My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
    And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
    Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
    And it's no coincidence I've come
    And I can die when I'm done

    Maybe I'm crazy
    Maybe you're crazy
    Maybe we're crazy
    Probably

    Uh, uh



    fragile we all are

    Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

    “The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities.”
