Travel Quotes

Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” Maya Angelou

I would like to welcome new readers to my travel blog. If you are reading this for the first time, then I suggest you first read my introduction which I wrote last November when I started this. It explains why I am writing this and it gives you a little about my background. And most importantly it explains about my list and how it works.

Don't Forget to Vote!!!!


    
"The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.."
President Lyndon B. Johnson


Just a quick reminder to my readers, tomorrow is election day.  There are many countries who do not hold free elections.  The people of those countries do not have a say on how things are run.  Sometimes we feel our government doesn't listen to us either, but the way they listen is by our casting a ballot.  So, whatever your political views, make sure you vote.  It is a right, and a privelege that we take for granted.  Remember, if you don't vote, then you have no right to complain if your elected official is someone you didn't want, and they are doing things you don't like.  So vote, and if the people you voted for are not elected, then you can complain all you want, that is part of our freedom too.  There are many places in the world where you can't complain about your government either.
