“Mental slavery is mental death, and every man
who has given up his intellectual freedom
is the living coffin of his dead soul."
(Robert G. Ingersoll, 1833-1899)
(Thanks to National Park Service Ranger
Jeff Edel from his National Park Service
Castillogram newsletter for the gnarly quote above)
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
