SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

WASHINGTON—The House has approved legislation by U.S. Representative Keith Ellison to tighten standards for lead exposure in public housing.
Currently, the Department of Housing and Urban Development calls for an investigation into the source of lead if a child's lead level is 20 micrograms per deciliter. Ellison's bill would reduce that to 10 micrograms, to coincide with standards set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1991.
Exposure to lead can lead to problems such as reduced IQ, behavioral disorders and brain damage in young children.
Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat, calls lead poisoning one of the largest environmental hazards affecting children, adding "It is also one of the most preventable."
The House passed the bill on a voice vote Thursday night.
Good post for the Congressman on his birthday.

Happy Birthday Keith
