Hmmm
How about we are born with a personality and skills and it is the responsibilty of the tribe to allow that person to develop? (Blackfoot Tribe)
If one suffers and survives - then one would need to see the suffering as purposeful - or they would be doomed to suffer for the rest of their lives?

Please consider adopting Florida. They have 2 seats that could flip Congress in April, but also, they have a lot of vulnerable people and dems that could use some support! #AdoptFlorida

A great quote. Ya know they've got a small selection of decent images of Baldwin on the commons that are fully free. getting some quotes overlaid on some pics, and uploading them to the commons so people could easily share them might be cool. Do you have quotes avaiolable?

Or even just available. :-)

Anyone know off the top of their heads what rules there might be on using quotes? No copyright issues right?
