Thanks Joe. I enjoy reading this essay each Independence Day. It’s a good reminder of our shared cultural heritage, despite different origins. Mitch

Hi Joe,

Nicely written, but you need to go back a bit further. English law is derived from Roman law which endured for nearly a millennium, hence the Latin used in the discipline. But I agree that disciplined organization of humans is the only path to enlightened civilization. As much as I'm against the MAGATs the fact is that too much knee-jerk, automatic liberalism is just as bad and leads to a different kind of pandering.
