WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/adams-john/77846/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>John Adams</b></a></p><blockquote>The principal difficulty lies, and the greatest care should be employed in constituting this Representative Assembly. It should be in miniature, an exact portrait of the people at large. It should think, feel, reason, and act like them. That it may be the interest of this Assembly to do strict justice at all times, it should be an equal representation, or in other words equal interest among the people should have equal interest in it. Great care should be taken to effect this, and to prevent unfair, partial, and corrupt elections.</blockquote><p><b>John Adams</b> (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)<br>Letter (1776-04) to George Wythe, “Thoughts on Government”</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/adams-john/77846/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/adams-john/77846/</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=johnadams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>johnadams</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>congress</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>corruption</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>elections</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=equality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>equality</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=representation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>representation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=representative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>representative</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=votingrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>votingrights</span></a></p>
Prism & Pen<p>I began to wonder why it never occurred to me that I could be a woman’s wife. The obvious answer is that same-sex marriages weren’t legal when I had these fears.

Geoff ♞<p>Good morning. I had a very nice time at Cincinnati Pride this weekend.<br>Thoughts:<br>Corporate sponsorship of Pride in this political climate is significant (to me.) Companies and organizations that have representation and continue their support will continue to have my support and therefore money.<br>I understand it is business and money, but they are taking a calculated risk and showing their support when it’s no longer just another marketing segment with little to no risk.<br>Representation matters. I will continue to spend my money with those companies.<br>Regardless of CEOs with bajillion dollar salaries and other issues with corporate tax breaks and corporations with more rights and benefits than humans, there are smaller companies that don’t have the coffers to withstand retaliation from our government’s agenda. They are the legitimate sponsors and supporters and also need the community support.<br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pride</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/support" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>support</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/representation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>representation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>money</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/opinion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opinion</span></a></p>

Shantell Powell<p>A while back, I was in a writing workshop. I submitted a story for critique written from a redneck POV. The instructor cautioned me to be careful about using slurs like "redneck," although she saw nothing objectionable in the content of my story.</p><p>This startled me. I was raised on the land and off the grid in rural and remote areas across Canada because my father couldn't find work. I lived in trailer parks and campgrounds, and sometimes we squatted in people's yards living in an RV. One other person in the workshop was also a self-proclaimed redneck living in US Appalachia.</p><p>I do not use "redneck" as a pejorative, and think that those who do are engaging in classism. </p><p>It makes me wonder how many redneck stories get published. I know I've had a hard time with some of my stories written in Maritimes vernacular from the POV of redneck characters. I've had an editor tell me that I need to run my story through Grammarly. So yes, there's an elitism going on when the use of vernacular is deemed "wrong." That's how folks actually talk.
