Quotes from Adlai Stevenson II
A free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.
.
We live in an era of revolution, the revolution of rising expectations.
Native Native Americans
The prevailing story of how humans came to Americas was that some 13,000 years ago, there were small bands who walked across a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska. Eventually they made their way to the warm part of North America and eventually into South America.
Now the current theory is that the first humans came 1,000 - 2,000 years earlier. They did not walk across but traveled by boat down the Pacific Coast. Supporting that idea are archeological sites along the west coast that are 14,000 - 15,500 years old according to DNA samples from some of the oldest human remains.
Understandably, scientific battles have scientists taking taking sides as our knowledge and methods evolve.

Understanding Wolves
The Green River corridor holds promise of a pathway for grey wolves to disperse from Wyoming to Colorado. So why aren't they using it? Wolves are having a hard time knowing where it is safe and where they will be hunted. It is estimated that in the United States one hundred packs have lost pups in the last year. In some places they are protected. Wolves are trapped in a web of overlapping and intersecting barriers that complicate their existence from protected territories within indigenous lands and national parks to hostile country across Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming.
After the election permitting reintroducing grey wolves to the state it's up to the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife to not only get wolves into the state, but to make sure that they can survive.

Marriage-go-round
Why do wives use twice as many words as their husbands?
Because they always have to repeat themselves.
I saw my wife putting on her sexy underwear this morning. This can only mean one thing.
It’s laundry day.
When my wife and I argue, I always get the last word.
They’re usually, “I’m sorry. You’re right.”
I asked my wife which she liked better, my face or my body?
She said, “Your sense of humor.”
