History Shines Optimistic Hope on America

     Back in the Middle Ages, tyrants ruled at the expense of the oppressed, prostrate peasants who were sentenced to work from sun up to sun down--in order to barely get by.  How did Europe, and especially England, result in the Industrial Revolution and Capitalism despite the oppression of the dictators?

I drive my car at work, and like to listen to Objectivist classes.  One course is The History of England by Andrew Lewis.  It tells of the violent invasions and bloody wars from tyrants raging across that island.  A major development that led to Capitalism was the success of the attempts of the individual people to limit the power of the king.

Fast-forward to America, today.  Obama is declaring himself a "king".  If history is any indication, Americans still have a chance to bring about the government's recognition of their Individual Rights and Capitalist system.  But, along with an improved philosophy, it hinges on Individual Patriots' ability to limit the power of the "king".

What will you do?
