The American Form of Government

This is an interesting video. It's a 10:35 youtube video about forms of government.

Some of the most important things any of us can know are the lessons of history. "He who does not learn from history is destined to repeat it" and that is what our country is now doing. For those of you who like a challenge please read The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes. It is a history of the great depression. For those of you who like a challenge but already have your hands full please read the essay on this blog by the same title.

"The essence of freedom is the proper limitation of government." unknown

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again." -Ronald Reagan
