Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.
Notably: Today is the anniversary of Amazon’s incorporation (1995), coinciding, perhaps not coincidentally, with the test of the first atomic bomb at Alamogordo, New Mexico. “What will people of the future think of us?” C.P. Snow asked. “Will they say, as Roger Williams said of some of the Massachusetts Indians, that we were wolves with the minds of men? Will they think that we resigned out humanity? They will have the right.”

“If peace is organized before it has penetrated the public’s mind that the potentialities of atomic bombs are a reality, it will be impossible to have a peace that is based on reality. … Making some allowances for the future development of the atomic bomb in the next few years. … this weapon will be so powerful that there can be no peace if it is simultaneously in the possession of any two powers unless these two powers are bound by an idissoluble political union. … It will hardly be possible to get political action along that line unless high efficiency atomic bombs have actually been used in this war and the fact of their destructive power has deeply penetrated the mind of the public.”
–From a letter by Leo Szilard, cited in Richard Rhodes’s The Making of the Atomic Bomb (1986).

Concerning the cartoon,
Seems like our country is becoming more like the countries our founders left. They left to start a life in new country not corrupted government overreach and favoritism. Some came a indentured servants, some as wealthy businessmen. Most seeking the freedom we take for granted.
