Mark Twain and the Police..

"I complimented this police force in a letter some time ago, and felt like a guilty, degraded wretch when I was doing it, and now I am glad I got into the Station House, because it will teach me never to so far forget all moral principle as to compliment a police force again." - Letter to San Francisco Alta California, dated May 18, 1867

I think it was couple of weeks ago. He did it some years ago...but PBS brought it back.

It was a good watch...I thought. Maybe it's still up on their Website if you missed it.

Interesting for "us" ...if you get my drift. IOWD's...from Idealism...to .... 's

Edited for Link...if it still works:
