Happy Birthday, Henry David Thoreau! Our original American UU Pagan recently turned 200 years old. Today, we come together to consider the relevance in our own day of the life, words and wisdom of this American apostle of simplicity and frugality, who at the same time was also an advocate of resistance to the abuses of civil government.
