I was listening to Meghan Kelly (Damn she's hot) today and one of her callers told this story.
As a child had immigrated to the US from Italy in the 50's. When he was about 10 the family took a trip back to Italy and when they returned, he asked his dad, " Why did you move to America"? The Father's reply...
"Son, come out into the back yard for a moment" where he gave the kid a handful of dirt and said, "See this dirt? ITS MINE. It doesnt belong to the state, it doesnt belong to the church, it doesnt belong to the Facists up north. ITS MINE. Got it?" He said he never forgot those words.
What a beautiful, simple, exact, lesson.
Where'd all that dust come from?
