Excerpts:
The grand myth that&#8217;s been taught to whole generations is that the government is &#8220;forced&#8221; to intervene when there is a downturn that leaves millions of people suffering. The classic example is the Great Depression of the 1930s. What [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Once cherished, history is currently viewed as onerous- unless employed for social engineering. The results are political leaders who cannot weigh the consequences of their actions; journalists who confuse the exciting with the significant; military officers who view their profession through peepholes; and impassioned citizens easily misled. In place of history, we get hysterical headlines.&#8221;

&#8220;The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance.  It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human costs, wholly false.&#8221;

Thomas Paine&#8217;s &#8221; Common Sense&#8221; was credited with turning colonial independence from a debate into a movement. His widely published essay is considered an important document toward the founding of our nation.
