Swimming with humpback whales was an unforgettable experience. I love being in, on or under the water (as long as it is warm), so swimming in balmy water near these majestic animals in their natural environment was, for us, a dream come true. -- Mark Wessels [Humpback Whales in Tahiti]


''Americans almost universally agree that taxpaying is a civic duty,' writes political scientist Vanessa Williamson in her new book, “Read My Lips: Why Americans Are Proud to Pay Taxes.” To be a taxpayer is 'a source of pride because it is evidence that one is an upstanding, contributing member of the community.'"
