No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Been to 10 of them.  I was at that very spot in the Smoky Mtns just last month.  It's the old Mill in Cades Cove.
Very cool.

If I feel like it I can drive a few miles, to the top of a mountain and look into Glacier National Park.  Or else if I want to drive less than a half an hour I can be in it.  The scenery is fantastic as is the scenery outside of the park.

One of my favorite spots.  I love that place.

Just wanted to bump this, cool stuff. One nit-pic, it would make a better screensaver than PBS ad.  :p

I saw the one on Sunday, and must have missed the part where they said it was a series.  I am hoping they replay it.
