Letter To The Editor
“What do we mean by the American Revolution?” asked John Adams in a
letter to Hezekiah Niles in 1818.
“Do we mean the American War?
[No] The Revolution was effected before the war commenced.
The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people... this
radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and
affections of the people was the real American Revolution.”
What was the “radical change” Adams spoke of?
In 1760 most Americans viewed themselves as loyal subjects of the
king. His word was law. Disobeying him inconceivable.
By 1775, most Americans viewed the King as the biggest single threat
to their right to life, liberty and to own and control their own
property.
The “change” Adams spoke of was that in the years between
approximately1760 and 1775, most Americans adopted as their own John
Locke’s concept of Natural Law, i.e., that every individual has a
right to their life, their liberty, and to own and control their own
property.
As a result, Americans stopped seeing themselves as “subjects”.
Instead, they started seeing themselves as individuals having
certain rights, rights that should be protected by their government,
not violated.
Most Americans today view government in much the same way as
Americans viewed the King before the revolution.
Most Americans today all but worship government.
They cannot imagine life with so much as one less government
program, department, or worker.
Despite all the flag waiving (sic) and chest-pounding, most
Americans do not have the desire, the will, or the courage to be
free.
They are, in fact, petrified at the very thought of being free and
the responsibilities that come with being free.
For that very reason, we need another revolution... a radical change
in the hearts and minds of the American people...

Have a wonderful day and week.

Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,
This week, the House met very briefly. SB101, prohibiting the state
from mandating Common Core, had a confusing debate; the proponents
talked about how wonderful common Core is, and then insisted it
wasn’t mandated! Our discussions with school board members have
shown that most school boards think it is – so clarifying that
detail seemed important. SB101 passed, 202-138.
SB195, encouraging (not requiring) schools to teach cursive
handwriting and multiplication tables, was also debated, both on the
merits of learning cursive and whether or not we should require it
(or “encourage” it!) It finally passed, 186-155; I voted against
after finally deciding that we shouldn’t “encourage” teaching
anything.
I proposed an amendment to SB181, which allowed Fish & Game to
impose a new registration fee for hunter education classes, making
the fee a credit against a hunting license. The committee chair
opposed this amendment, claiming that the department was unable to
put the fee into the same account they used for license fees – and
revealing that the hunter education classes were fully funded by
federal funds, so the registration fee would displace federal money!
I wasn’t the only one who thought that Fish & Game was poorly
managed: the amendment passed, 183-162, but the bill was then
tabled, by the committee, 188-158.
SB47, repealing authorization of subminimum wages for disabled
people, was only before us for the speeches. It passed by
acclamation. SB16, exempting slalom water skiers from needing an
observer on board, passed without debate. SB46, creating a 45-member
commission on radio interoperability, was briefly debated and
passed, 214-124; I voted against it because I had doubts about a 45
member group being able to accomplish anything.
Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details
than fit here.
