As I have said over and over to the point of boredom, that the only way to implement freedom is to use capitalism as a social economic system. Nothing else works, unless freedom is not an issue.

What me dino took away from the short video~
Individual rights is the genius of America.
Me once drafted against my will and always having been an IRS-bullied taxpayer knew I'm supposed to be free,
but I never up until now considered individual rights as being the genius of America.
I agree with the concept while trying to also wrap my head around eminent domain and cops seizing my cash should
I be found with what some government fat cat arbitrarily proclaims to be too much to be in my possession.

True. And, altruism is taken as an absolute having been taught almost from infancy.

doesnt seem to be available in kindle edition. Too bad, as I read books exclusively on my phone , as its more convenient

Thanks for the tip, the book is now in my wish list on Amazon...got two others recently to read first.

It sounds really cool.

"Most people have no idea what the United States represents."
- Standing at arm's length
- Free refills
- Working while eating a huge plate of food all mixing together, never in courses
- Saying "I have gotten your message." and "It's different than that.""
- Smiling at strangers
- Driving a car 400 yards.
- Carrying a 24oz silver coffee cup around with weak coffee, never strong coffee, rarely tea, often filled up at a drive-through.

I'm just kidding about all that. We really have forgotten those basic principles. We've acquired little habits that I miss when we travel. I read an account of the French being shocked at how George Washington ate dinner on a huge plate with all the courses mixed together, as if we were all commoners. We are.

But the little habits are certainly not what it's about. The values America was founded on are something everyone can and should have.
