200 years

by |Published

It’s been 200 years since the births both of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. I’m not smart enough to pontificate on the significance of this day, but I will say this: what a day, that marks the birth of the man who would one day reunite a broken nation, that marks the birth of the man who would one day convincingly unite nature and mankind.

You just don’t get days like that everyday.
