Shakespeare said, "There is no darkness but ignorance."
American freedom has suffered because for several decades a majority of regular
citizens have left freedom and leadership to the political experts.
This has
begun to change in the age of the Internet, but it is still up to the regular
citizens to determine whether or not we pass more (or less) freedom and
prosperity to our children and grandchildren.
Ignorance kills freedom. In early America, it was expected
that regular citizens read and had an education equal to the President,
Senators, Justices, Governors, etc. Consider that the Federalist Papers were written for a newspaper audience.
Only such an enlightened people can
maintain true freedom.
Liberty is always under attack from various sources, and
since the masses benefit from it most it is up to them to keep it.
Readers are leaders, and those
who read the greats think in bigger terms and more important ideas.
Only a
nation of citizen-leaders can remain free.
