I have noticed a couple of mentions of people trying to get the minimum wage raised to $15 per hour. They are fighting for the wrong thing. What they want are jobs that pay a reasonable amount.

It was assumed for a very long time that there was something in space that filled it and was a medium through which light travelled. The Lorenz Transformations that Einstein used to come up with e=mc2 were derived by Lorenz from Maxwell's electromagnetism theory at a time when it was assumed that Aether did exists.

Today is a holy day
(as yesterday was, as tomorrow is)
for if any day is a holy day,
all days are holy days,

This healing verse

On a holy, holy day.
Breathing deep, sweet sighs of relief,
The infinite soul, ever free of grief -
