Here, take this gift,
I was reserving it for some hero, speaker, or general,
One who should serve the good old cause, the great idea, the progress and
freedom of the race,
Some brave confronter of despots, some daring rebel;
But I see that what I was reserving belongs to you just as much as to any.
(I love Whitman, though I'm more of an e.e. cummings man myself.)![joint :joint: :joint:](/data/assets/smilies/joint.gif)

PS - here's some political advice from Walt:
To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much,
obey
little,
Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved
Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever afterward
resumes its liberty.
