Kalman's Back!

She's at it again over at The Pursuit of Happiness. Check out E Pluribus Unum by Maira Kalman.

I'm going to share this with my students when we look at teaching civics/government. My favorite bit is this line.
And what will happen now?
Bills will be passed into LAW.
And if they are not perfect,
Don't Despair.
There is hope that the system could work
and they can be
Mended.
Amended.
Amen.
