Here are some facts about my home state of Maine:
Maine is the only state with a one syllable name.
Maine is the only state that borders exactly one other state. (NH)
Contrary to popular belief, Maine does not have the most lighthouses of any state: Michigan takes that title.
Fortunately, the most photographed lighthouse in the world, Portland Head Light, is in Maine.
Sugarloaf/USA, Maine's largest ski resort, has the most vertical drop of any U.S. ski mountain east of the Mississippi river.
That's all for now...

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
