The following post, below, is from Garrison Keillor's daily email newsletter, The Writer's Almanac. It is one of the best emails I get, and I look forward to it every morning. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in writing, history and culture.
The email this morning contained the text to the Gettysburg Address; as everyone knows, it was written by Abraham Lincoln. Personally, every time I read it, I find myself getting emotional, it is that great. A masterpiece of oratory. I wish I could say, we, as a nation, deserve it, but I'm not so sure that we do.
