A Democrat Knows That the Leaf Turns

A Prarie Home Companion has always been one of my favorite radio programs and Garrison Keillor, week in and week out, tells stories, puts on radio dramas, reads poetry and sings.

He wrote a book called "Homegrown Democrat: A FewPlain Thoughts From the Heart of America
"

Here is an excerpt from the book, in which he discusses the social contract which binds people in the Midwest:

A Democrat Knows That the Leaf Turns

I like that the excerpt talks about the type of society we want to live in, rather than the type of economy. Life is sacred. Money is not.
