Enlightening Books



"A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy; or perhaps both.   Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."

- James MMadison
