John Adams- Legacy

Wow. They were good writers. That last letter really sums it up, doesn't it?

Well, according to the constitution and in regards to "today's world" here is what the federal government should provide and protect: a military to protect our nation, sound money, protection against fraud in the free market, upholding contracts, protection against our state governments if they become tyrannical, and upholding and protecting our unalienable rights, i.e. life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Fed's haven't done their job very well :)

The American public isn't doing a very good job holding up their end of the bargain either. We are easily scared, willingly let the government spy on us all under the guise of "keeping us safe" and we subscribe to the most trite forms of entertainment. We are wasting the gift John Adams and others fought for.

It is our media who disgraces the pains of those gone before. A world of instant pleasure has blossomed from the seeds of revolution. I ask where the blame shall lay?

"no prosperity you will never know how much it cost us to preserve your freedom.I hope that u will make a good use of it if u do not i will repent in heaven that i ever took half the pains...to preserve it"

You late!

Politics....that subject and the comments about it below are about as interesting as this clip

I loved the series, though it caused an avalanche of pompousness in casual political discussion.
