  "...with respect to our rights, and the acts of the British government contravening those rights, there was but one opinion on this side of the water.   All American whigs thought alike on these subjects.   When forced, therefore, to resort to arms for redress, an appeal to the tribunal of the world was deemed proper for our justification.   This was the object of the Declaration of Independence.   Not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of, not merely to say things which had never been said before; but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, and to justify ourselves in the independent stand we are compelled to take.   Neither aiming at originality of principle or sentiment, nor yet copied from any particular and previous writing, it was intended to be an expression of the American mind, and to give to that expression the proper tone and spirit called for by the occasion.   All its authority rests then on the harmonizing sentiments of the day, whether expressed in conversation, in letters, printed essays, or in the elementary books of public right, as Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Sidney, &c.   The historical documents which you mention as in your possession, ought all to be found, and I am persuaded you will find, to be corroborative of the facts and principles advanced on that Declaration." --- Thomas Jefferson 1825-05-08 letter to Henry Lee (quoted in Mark Reed Levin 2017 _ReDiscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Regressivism_ pp8-9; citing National Archives

  "The Great Society came into our communities and set up alternative structures that destroyed those that were there. Government agencies undermined the very strengths that should have been built up... No government can give motivation or a sense of self-worth to a child. It's up to parents and church leaders to say, 'Son, your problem isn't society; your problem is you.'." --- Reverend Buster Soaries, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens, Somerset, New Jersey, 1991 August 08

  "why did printing spread explosively in medieval Europe after Gutenberg printed his Bible in 1455CE, but not after that unknown printer printed the Phaistos disk in 1700BCE? The explanation is partly that medieval European printers were able to combine 6 technological advances, most of which were unavailable to the maker of the Phaistos disk. Of those advances -- in paper, movable type, metallurgy, presses, inks, and scripts -- paper and the idea of movable type reached Europe from China." --- Jared Diamond 1997 _Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies_ pp259-260

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

  "Epaminondas's plunge into the Spartan line at Mantinea, Sherman's front-line rallying at Shiloh, and Patton's constant presence amid gun-fire were not examples of mock-heroic leadeship, no the antics of a youthful, demented, and often drunken berserker like Alexander, but the logical personal expression of the comand of a democratic muster on the move. I think it is almost axiomatic that if a general of a great democratic march is not hated, is not sacked, tried, or relieved of command by his auditors after his tenure is over, or if he has not been killed or wounded in the van, he has not utilized the full potential of his men, has not accomplished his stratetic goals -- in short, he is too representative of the very culture that produced him, too democratic to lead a democratic army of marchers and plunderers... to lead an army of thousands into enemy territory requires mental skills far beyond that of the professor, historian or journalist -- far beyond too the accounting and managerial skill of the desk-bound and peace-time officer corps. From Epaminondas's philosophical training, the corpus of his adages and sayings that have survived, and his singular idea to take 70K men into Laconia and Messenia, it is clear that, like both Sherman and Patton, he had a first-class mind and was adept in public speaking and knowledge of human behavior." --- Victor Davis Hanson 1999 _The Soul of Battle: From Ancient Times to the Present Day, How 3 Great Liberators Vanquished Tyranny_ pp117-118
