"This is a marvelous review of American History from the perspective of 1937. It has amazing insight and a new way of looking at the business versus agricultural histories of this country.
Most enlightening is his take on rights and powers that should belong exclusively to WE THE PEOPLE. Ever since the Civil War those rights have been usurped by business and Corporations that were never designed to have them."

Noam Chomsky
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum....”
Noam Chomsky, The Common Good

Mark Twain
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
Mark Twain

Thomas Paine
“If men will permit themselves to think, as rational beings ought to think, nothing can appear more ridiculous and absurd, exclusive of all moral reflections, than to be at the expence of building navies, filling them with men, and then hauling them into the ocean, to try which can sink each other fastester. Peace, which costs nothing, is attended with infintely more advantage than any victory with all its expence. But this, though it best answers the purpose of Nations, does not that of Court Governments, whose habited policy is pretence for taxation, places, and offices.”
Thomas Paine, Rights of Man

Thomas Paine
“That there are men in all countries who get their living by war, and by keeping up the quarrels of nations, is as shocking as it is true; but when those who are concerned in the government of a country, make it their study to sow discord and cultivate predjudices between nations, it becomes the more unpardonable.”
Thomas Paine, Rights of Man

“Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.”
Hafez
