Regarding your signature line:

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ~ Gandhi"

If Gandhi was leader of the USA - ya think he'd allow bombing the shit out of other countries??

Should most likely be in another thread I know,

but I am impulsive . .

not news to most,

But this thread is about Maurice Sendak. I'm not sure what he would or wouldn't do.

Thank you for pointing that out to me -

did a google: found this -
_____________________________________________________________________________

I wrote, 'Dear Jim: I loved your card.' Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said: 'Jim loved your card so much he ate it.' That to me was one of the highest compliments I've ever received. He didn't care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it

I never heard his name before - but I will not forget it now.

I wasn't being a smart ass.... I was just too lazy to read up on Gandhi!

You, on the other hand, researched Maurice Sendak! I am so ashamed.

I loved the anecdote, if that counts. ???

There are no intonations on the computer screen, so sometimes it's hard to decipher what someone meant.

Sigh of relief!

expecting there to be music to go with this for some reason. I'm getting spoiled..... now I want musical google doodles. Is that asking too much?
