History Breeds Futility
Fear is the foundation of most governments.

  WHAT WAS INTENDED
MISREADINGS

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
After several read-throughs of this sorely outdated and willfully inflexible document, we are saddened to say that we were unable to determine the location of these phrases:

"By Blessings of Liberty we mean unlimited Executive powers including the extralegal ability to monitor and collect information obtained through warrantless surveillance of American citizens. Also, by Welfare we certainly do not mean any kind of government-funded social program."

MATTER
The Two Things about History:
1.
Everything has earlier antecedents.

Corrolary: all culture, including religion, is syncretic; there is nothing purely original.

Second Corrolary: there's no question that a historian can't complicate by talking about what led up to it.

2. Sources lie, but they're all we have.

-Jonathan Dresner, "The Two Things"
