MONDAY, JULY 6, 1998
A quote for today: ____________________________________________________________________
A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice,...has divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to cooperate for their common good.
James Madison The Federalist No. 10
