In preparation for celebrating the 222nd anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States on September 17, 1787, here are a few videos that I hope will inspire you to at least memorize the brief, but powerful Preamble. First, here is my first attempt at video editing with the bare bones Windows Movie Maker (no ability to step through frame by frame with sound, or ability to mark stops before cutting). My daughters are reading the Preamble to the Constitution from the little book I carry in my purse. They can recite it by heart, but it I thought it would be a little different (and a little less exposed) if they did it this way. Let's not even talk about the 20 takes due to laughter. If you knew it as a child, don't worry, it'll come back to you as Barney shows in this video. Finally, a little treat for my sci-fi loving friends. And if memorizing and reciting The Preamble in creative ways leaves you wanting more, you can find out which Founding Father you...

This of course has led to numerous smelly, sweaty, carbon footprint jokes.
C. August, do you like the socks? Do they have value in other ways, or are they just an attempt to buy you an indulgence to ease your way toward carbon redemption?
I think they were simply on sale. Or perhaps my mom was trying to make a little joke and see if she could jerk my chain a little bit.
But, I do think that Gold Toe is trying to cash in on the Carbon Indulgences trend, just like everyone else. I don't have a problem with companies trying to profit from making products people want to buy... I just wish "going green" wasn't as effective of a marketing technique as it appears to be.
Wow. That's one sad commentary.
I'm a somewhat new Objectivist blogger, at The Nearby Pen and Systemically Important so this was not only funny but inspirational to boot.
