Our western hemisphere is called the new world, but all parts of the world are equally old.
The Missouri River swelled up and washed out a big cul de sac and bared those three towns near Omaha. We haven't dug much in America but likely in a few years we will discover some old towns equally as ancient as Pompeii.
Verily, this earth of ours has had humans on it for more than the 6,000 years our written records give as its age.
PATRIOTISM
An Intoxicant That Often Turns Men Into Murderers
A false patriotism, an inherited acceptance of servility and obedience, makes the foreigners meek, sheep-like men.
This great war, and most every great war of the past, is possible because of a distorted understanding of patriotism.
Patriotism began away back yonder when sons and daughters were taught love and loyalty to the pater, the father. The patriarchs of old extended the patriot idea to the tribe and later as tribes banded together and formed nations. The patriotism principle was the basis for the bond that tied men together for a common cause.
