The American Way of Life (Part 21 of 28))
Part 21: of a 28-part series Now this up and down thing I read the quote by Reagan. Id like to illustrate what were looking at here.

The American Way of Life (Part 18 of 28)
Part 18: of a 28-part series Free government is founded in jealousy, not competence. We have to be jealous of our liberty.
