slow but steady progress

A few notes on blogs, excellence, and Elbert Hubbard:
  • A very few of you still have work to do with your blogs. If you don't see your name listed to the right, I need the URL of your blog, without delay.
  • Every day you should hit "New Post," then post that day's work to your blog.  You don't make a new blog for every new day.
  • World's greatest democracy?  The percentage of eligible voters actually voting in the last 5 US Presidential elections:  53%, 55%, 61%, 63%, 59%.  Last election in Peru: 86%.  In Iran: 75%.  Rwanda: 89%.  (Sources: Fairvote.org and IDEA.int)
  • Elbert Hubbard's essay was reprinted over 80 million times.
  • Hubbard also wrote a booklet called Jesus Was an Anarchist.  
  • Hubbard died in a very interesting manner.
Also, you are not required to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  I have just suggested that you or your family make a contribution to fund ALS research.  The Ice Bucket seems like a cool way to get involved.
