"There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area." ~17 Year Congressman, John Murtha speaking about his own state
"I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person now I was free. There was such a glory through the trees and over the fields, and I felt like I was in heaven." ~Harriet Tubman's feelings as she crossed the border between Maryland (where she was a slave) and free Pennsylvania.
I named my blog after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus -- A Roman consul who served only long enough to save his Republic before returning to his farm. Cincinnatus was the inspiration for the Order of Cincinnatus, to which George Washington and Lafayette and many other American Patriots were members. Omnia relinquit servare rempublicam - He relinquished everything to serve the Republic.

Maybe someone could get Murtha the Classics Comics version of it, so he could look at the pictures?
