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.
