History and Freedom

"We review the past not in order that we may return to it but that we may find in what direction, straight and clear, it points into the future.

"It is necessary always to give a great deal of thought to liberty. There is no substitute for it. Nothing else is quite so effective."

 -Calvin Coolidge

Only a people that reads history and gives a lot of thought to freedom can remain free and prosperous. 

Are we such a people? 

Are you such a person?
