What do you do for a cut or scrape? My typical response is wash the "ow-ie" with soap and warm water, pour on peroxide, slather with that triple anti-biotic cream, and then cover the whole thing with a band-aid. Is that the best course of action?
What if you are confronted with something more than an "ow-ie"?
Here's one place to check out your options:

Ignorance is Bliss
Well, that's not what Thomas Gray (1716-1771) really said. In Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 17th ed, pg 333:22 the full quote is:
"...Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise."
No folly here - if you're looking for information on agriculture this database has the keys to wisdom:
AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine Access) is a bibliographic database of citations to the agricultural literature created by the National Agricultural Library (NAL) and its cooperators. Production of these records in electronic form began in 1970, but the database covers materials in all formats, including printed works from the 15th century. The records describe publications and resources encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and farming systems, agricultural economics, extension and education, food and human nutrition, and earth and environmental sciences. Although the AGRICOLA database does not contain the materials, thousands of AGRICOLA records are linked to full-text documents online, with new links added daily. AGRICOLA is searchable on the World Wide Web. For information on how to obtain library materials, see How to request materials from NAL.

In 1492
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Today is the official celebration of Columbus Day in the United States. No mail delivery, government offices closed, parades and speeches.
Poetry helps us remember facts and feelings. The rhyme about Columbus sailing the ocean blue in 1492 is a classic for elementary students.
There are other poems that remember Columbus Day. Some of those poems are dark and very thought provoking.
Check out LION (Literature OnLine) in GALILEO for poems about Columbus Day. LION (Literature Online) is a full-text library of over 330,000 works of British and American poetry, drama and prose. In addition to literary texts, LION includes biographical sketches of major writers, selected author bibliographies, and critical and reference works.
