Honoring Radical Ancestors

1. One hundred twenty-one years ago today, the U. S. Constitution was signed.
2. I have many radical ancestors (and sometimes they scare me, and sometimes I catch why, and sometimes I can hear that 1950s horror of non-conformity in my head), some of whom probably didn't think themselves radical.  I (for suitable values of "I") am where I am (wherever that is) because many people refused to bend to the status quo.
3. Today I honor my Radical Ancestors (religion, class, gender, race, sexual orientation, genetics, education, and previous condition of servitude).  (Thanks are due to Portly Dyke.)
