I'd like to add one more fundamental that helped expedite human progress: FREEDOM, WOLNOSC, LIBERTE,SVOBODA.<br /><br />The profound good that unions did during the 20th century, was achieved not by solidarity alone, but with FREE SPEECH. The bosses and their presses forced workers into the underground to spread The Word.<br /><br />As the territorial imperitive of Free Speech expanded from the days of Gutenberg, and literacy expanded, human prosperity began to spread throughout the world, and this prosperity will continue to spread. Unfortunately, progress is uneven. But there are voices dealing with that.<br /><br />I want to be sure that my Western dissidents are guaranteed the right of free speech. <br /><br />Free Speech should never back down. It is the most fundamental foundation for democracy and for continued human progress. <br /><br />American soldiers are sworn to uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They are mandated, amongst other things, to defend the <b>First</b> Amendment. And the President should have simply pronounced to the world that the United States of America will uphold the <b>First</b> Amendment to the last drop of blood. <br /><br /><b>FREE SPEECH</b>; A Sustainable Decongestent Against Repression, Oppression, Repression.<br /><br /><b>FREE SPEECH</b>: Serving Human Progress Since the Enlightenment.Wally Keelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02370532557074561490noreply@blogger.com
