| Thomas Jefferson, 1821: "...the Federal Judiciary...an irresponsible body , working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing it's noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction until all shall be usurped from the States; and the government of all be consolidated into one. When all government...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." |

Coyote and
the Jar
Coyote was given a big jar to carry when the people came to this world. He was told not to lift the lid... but the jar was heavy and coyote was curious to know what he was carrying. He set the jar down, lifted the lid and peeked inside. All the stars rushed out and they burned his nose as they flew past. Poor coyote could only catch a few and these are now in their proper places in the skies (the constellations), the others are just tossed about, and some of them, not tightly held in place, fall back to earth. This is why there are few constellations and why there are shooting stars and why coyote has a black nose. (Hopi) |
