Happy Birthday

Yesterday was the 200th birthday of not one but two people in history I admire a great deal. One got more of the press, that being Abraham Lincoln, the man who saved the Union and emancipated the slaves, ending our long national disgrace of forced servitude (though the scars of slavery are with us to this day). The other was Charles Darwin, who forever changed our understanding of the world around us. Happy Birthday to both of you, and hopefully a future Darwin or Lincoln was born somewhere in the world yesterday.
