In 1839, Abraham Lincoln (then a member of the Illinois state legislature) gave a speech concerning the banking industry in the United States, and more specifically the operations of the Treasury Department and its regulation of US banks. Most of the speech need not concern us today; and we probably would not agree with many of Lincoln's policy proposals on the matter, particularly given the disastrous mismanagement of the US economy by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury over the past few decades. However, in summing up his argument, Lincoln gave a rallying cry to all who b... read more

Freedom and Oppression
“Freedom is acquired by conquest, not by gift.” ~ Brazilian philosopher Paulo Freire in his 1968 book *Pedagogy of the Oppressed*. I think this is a thought provoking line from Freire. Throughout history, it is always the civilizations of the conquerors and enslavers that have philosophized endlessly about the glories of freedom. They philosophized about freedom while using their military power to impose their will on other civilizations. When you subdue another man, force him to become your slave, you realize the importance of freedom—freedom is what you (the conqueror) have and he... read more
