Paul Revere and His Relevance to Contemporary America with Author Joel Miller
Loading...
Uploaded by ReasonTV on Jul 16, 2010
Is Paul Revere still relevant in contemporary America?
Joel Miller, author of The Revolutionary Paul Revere, says he is. Miller sat down with Reason.tv Editor in Chief Nick Gillespie to discuss the man, his famous ride, and his relationship to the contemporary political landscape.
"There are an awful lot of corollaries to people today who are frusrated with government," says Miller. And that's nothing new: "You go back throughout English history you'll find uprising after uprising about taxes..."
Approximately 10 minutes. Shot by Meredith Bragg, Josh Swain and Dan Hayes. Edited by Swain.

(during) "any time of upheaval the trick is to stay on the part that is not falling down."
Love that!

Violence is occasionally necessary. American freedom today is the direct result of people who tried everything, and found their governments would only listen to violence.

Surprisingly educational interview. Nicely done.
-
@nicademus1974 very true, but i think he meant more in the sense of revolutions or local insurrection. In that respect we've been pretty calm since the civil war.

@bracomadar yes

@anarchylogic, I was gonna' say the same thing, but you beat me to it!

@nicademus1974 / Good practice!!

"Because we have been at peace"
This comment is so false. The USA has been at war with someone almost all of its history.
