Mary Travers, of Peter Paul and Mary died today of leukemia. Age 72.

They came to sing at the United States Naval Academy, must have been May or June of 1964. I was in love of course, with her and their rendition of Blowing In The Wind.

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Tom Paine

---"Dissertations on First Principles of Government," 1795
