> This web site offers an annotated reading list designed to give
> beginning students of the American legal system a basic
> understanding of the fundamentals of that system, and an
> appreciation of the role the legal system has played in America's
> achievement of levels of freedom and material abundance beyond
> anything the world had previously seen.
>
> A student encountering the legal system for the first time can
> find it a foreboding subject - complex, technical, deep. Our goal
> here is to demonstrate that, at one level of understanding, quite
> the opposite is true. The American legal system, properly
> understood, depends on a few basic concepts that can be quickly
> grasped by a serious student. The most important of these
> concepts are private property ownership, freedom of contract, and
> limited government. <Picture>Why should anyone bother to learn
> anything of these ideas? We offer three answers to this question.
> The first has to do with gratitude. Given that many people
> sacrificed all or a portion of their lives to bequeath us this
> governmental and economic system, it doesn't seem much to ask
> that we at least understand how it works.

> Europe takes a giant step towards ensuring a lasting peace today
> as delegates from 15 countries, meeting in the French Foreign
> Ministry in Paris, sign a Pact for the Renunciation of War. Using
> a large gold pen, Gustav Stresemann, the German Foreign Minister
> is the first to sign, prompting loud cheering. The agreement is
> largely the work of Frank Kellogg, the US Secretary of State, in
> collaboration with Aristide Briand, the French Foreign Minister.
> Eventually, 62 countries will sign the pact. Briand had proposed
> that France and the USA should sign a treaty renouncing war as an
> instrument of national policy. Kellogg then suggested a
> multilateral pact to which all nations should have the
> opportunity of signing. The pact of course proves to be
> worthless.

==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
