N THE interest of the Republic and directed by Christian Virtues*, these essays are offered as rational discussions of the general direction of American politics and society. It is the opinion of the writers that any society founded on the Ideals of Equality, Democracy and Individual Liberty must review and reform its laws at regular intervals referencing always to the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights and to those Ideals and that Philosophy as stated in the Declaration of Independence.

With the inherent belief that the American Ideal as a social order is among the best ever yet devised by Mankind, these writings wish only to point to diversions from the path to Enlightenment that was forged by the Founders and defended by the Patriots. With an eye toward forgiveness for those in the past that erred and scorn for those that, by use of arbitrary power-whether personal, political or economic-have done or continue to do harm to our system or individuals, these opinions are offered to a candid world.

And may the American Revolution
flow like a mighty river
to Enlighten the World in True Liberty and Justice
for all Americans and
for All Mankind.

* Christian Virtues=Principles and Ethics, not religionism and with equal considerations for, and lessons from,
all Faiths and non-believers alike.

~TODAY'S QUOTE FROM YESTERDAY~

"The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all. "

Frederic Bastiat

This Week's Essay WHAT IF? What if America behaved like America?

Something Every American Should Know ALL MEN = ALL MANKIND The missing clause of the Declaration of Independence clearly condemns slavery and shows Jefferson and others believed that Blacks were persons, people and MEN. This conclusion is self-evident.

Note: Neither "Today's Quote" nor "This Week's Essay" are updated daily or weekly. That's just what we call 'em. That's the anarchist streak in US.
