So, if salt is so important, then how would you find evidence that salt is important? For that matter, how would you find evidence that the Crusades really happened? Ask your favorite reference librarian, perhaps, at your local public library branch? One of the key parts of our democracy, and of Phase I of Project Do Better is libraries, right?

Action Items:
1.) Why is salt important, and how do we know this?

Indeed, she did, especially in her Parable books.

On a trip to England in the 1980s, we saw x marks in an old church, supposedly made by Crusaders before leaving on a Crusade. News from the Middle East reference the Crusader mentality of the US and Western Europe.

Crusader “Jim was here” graffiti, and in a church, no less?! No wonder they knocked over Constantinople on the 4th: we come from a bunch of Vandals! (When did they knock over Rome, before or after the Goths, Visigoths, Huns…?)
