every law not based on wisdom is a menace to the state

Today's "lawmakers" could certainly learn something from ancient Abe here...in Chelsea

Why is he wearing ear muffs when he is clearly dressed for summer?

RuneE said...

That begs the question: What is wisdom? :-)

Thank you for the comment - the Lyse Priory is from the 12th Century.

Most definitely! What a great sculpture. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Mr. KM!

That inscription should be put on a BIG sign hung near the Senate in DC .. those are the ones who need to heed this advice most

Whose wisdom? (Cyd's right, what's up with the ear muffs?)

Ken Mac said...

whose wisdom? Heck, if our lawmakers would take the text of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad or Ghandi to heart, things would be better than they are today. These "lawmakers" worship one thing: $$$$$

Funny, when this statue was created, no one wondered "whose wisdom." That's progress!~
