It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts?

Kathy, some really nice pictures of the mountain. I have watched several documentaries on Mount Saint Helens. I remember the year that the mountain top blew off. It was one of such devastation to the area. We, in reality, do not ourselves really live that far from this mountain.
The mountain top blew off about a month after the death of my mother. Best of the beautiful day, good health. Cindi

There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold. The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold. The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see, what the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge, I cremated Sam McGee. Robert Service

Are you following a Vulcano route along the world? no, but that's not a bad idea! i went to italy because it was a trip that came up for my husband all of a sudden, and i had never been. my sister lives in england and i was going there anyway, so i did both. i loved italy and i'd like to go back and spend some more time. to much to see and not enough time! |

are you talking about washington, or italy? washington, no. there are some homes and other things inside the old blast area, but not many. they have kept it clear and made most of it a national park. in italy, the entire city of Naples and it's surroundings, is built on and under the volcano. if it were to go again, 10's of 1000's would probably die if there were no warning. there is no place to run except into the sea.
