Dear Folks,
Every "study of human experience" enjoys a "base line"; hence:
“….the same can be said of the enterprise launched on July 4, 1776. The
hardheaded lawyers, merchants, farmers, and slave holding plantation
owners gathered in Philadelphia that summer did not set out to create a
church. They founded a republic. Their purpose was not to save mankind.
It was to ensure that people like themselves enjoyed unencumbered access
to the Jeffersonian trinity.” - Andrew J. Bacevich
Enjoy!
Very Respectfully,
W. R.(Ray) Waddell, Jr.
