| The Declaration of Independence for Modern Readers
A Satire
by Matt Neuman (07/04/2000)
Given the recent trend to modernize classic works of literature, it seemed logical to modernize one of the great works of American literature: the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson and Co.'s affirmation of freedom and democracy is a wonderful document, but it simply doesn't speak to the current generation of TV-addicted zombies who wouldn't know a remote power from a remote control. With its archaic language and references to an unfamiliar, non-digital world, the D of I is sorely in need of an update to take it into the 21st Century. Hopefully this new version will be taught in our grade schools and civics classes, and a paper copy of it will replace the aging original now decomposing in the National Archives. |  |

| | Mankind's Most Brutal Institution
by Walter E. Williams (08/03/1995)
Generically, what's the most brutal institution on the face of the earth? If you said governments, go to the head of
the class. | |
| | The Civil War wasn't about Slavery
by Walter E. Williams (05/31/2000)
THE PROBLEMS THAT LED TO THE CIVIL WAR are the same problems today ---- big,
intrusive government. The reason we don't face the specter of another Civil War
is because today's Americans don't have yesteryear's spirit of liberty and
constitutional respect, and political statesmanship is in
short supply. | |
