Good morning,
Whitewater’s forecast — weather, not politics — calls for an increasingly cloudy day, with a high temperature of twenty-nine degrees.
There’s no school today. For all the free-range students in Whitewater, today — have fun, be responsible. Everyone says that you’re our future, and of course, you are. You’re also part of our present, and some of us are stodgy, cranky, and irritable — best way to enjoy the day is to avoid running afoul of those who’ve become more even more restrictive over time. We were all young once; some of us have just forgotten.
Today’s a historic anniversary in the drive for more liberty and equality, as the Wisconsin Historical Society recalls:
1912 – Rock County Women’s Suffrage League Formed

One can have both more liberty and more equality, as the fight for universal suffrage shows.
