“We hold these truths to be self-evident…” – Thomas Jefferson

From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
4 July

“All honor to Jefferson--to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of re-appearing tyranny and oppression.” - Abraham Lincoln
