ONE of the things that has become very evident to me, because of this book I am reading is that a lot of people can smell the first whiff of Bull Shit. There are just a lot of very different reactions. The readers go get a book. The talkers get on their cell phone and call or text the world. People join clubs, start news letters, buy booze in gallon containers. Lots of ways that people react to a whiff. I’ve come to admire one group which is rather hard to find. those are the people who just find something to do that will most probably not get caught up in debates of some kind. Debates about whether the result will every obtain a concenus opinion on whether it  is good or bad.

The people who just keep volunteering at homeless shelters, or sewing “Little Dresses for Africa”. They do not let anyone know that they caught a whiff of the cow. They just keep smiling, putting one foot in front of the other and continue to peck away at one small problem. They have discovered they can make a difference, nothing grandiose, until they step back and look at what they and a thousand others, each pecking away at the same problem have been able to accomplish. 

“Little Dresses for Africa” one year ago had delivered 500,000 dresses.

My wife has sewed 500. This year they have delivered 1,500,000 -- plus they started doing britches for boys.

Right here is where I would usually try say something funny, intellectual, something that for sure is negative about Obama and Bush and Clinton and Reagan. Oh well lets just use their Bull Shit on the roses and watch the roses grow. The roses planted by "Little Dresses for Africa"
