Food for Thought

"A historian writing 200 or 300 years from now might view the liberties that existed for a tiny portion of mankind's population, mostly in the Western world, for only a tiny portion of its history, the last century or two, as a historical curiosity that defies explanation. That historian might also observe that the curiosity was only a temporary phenomenon and mankind resorted back to the traditional state of affairs - arbitrary control and abuse. If liberty dies in the United States, it dies everywhere." - Dr. Walter E. Williams
