    By Carol McClain: @   carol   _mcclain Thomas Paine’s writings have been echoing through my flu-addled brain. Thinking of our American world of entitlement, the quote, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly,” has especially resonated.

    By Carol McClain:      @carol   _mcclain No one needs a news alert, here it is, anyway. The East Coast has been gripped by record shattering cold.
