Serendipitous Shop Left Selections

These front page listings change all the time, because they're randomly selected -- "serendipitous" is a fancy way to say "random." Zoe, from Marketing, has shared her concerns on this point ("anarchy!"), but I like the idea that every listing has an equal chance at the front page. If you've got a better idea, join up and use the Contact link! To find individual listings, use the search box above, or Listings by tag at Right.

Quotes

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.

— James Madison
