Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert… . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

America Revealed →
This show is fantastic. Gives the facts to help us become more aware and make informed decisions about the sustainability of the resources in this country. When moving cross country it hit me hard how much energy it takes to fuel this country. This show expands my mind even more and could be the most valuable piece of television out there right now. Thank you PBS.

With me it became more physical abuse from bullies. They would wrap seat belts around me and pull them till they sliced my arm open. They would spit on my friend and I till we were drenched.
