@asvjerry , great point about The Commons. A concept baked into the minds of the founding fathers and one of the central tenets of the Constitution but you wouldn't know it from all the privatization of resources and government functions going on.

Yes, the Commons was very important to early Americans, every little town in America had a commons where  folks gathered, very important to the spirit of the people. Remember, states were often referred to as commonwealths. Think about that one for a minute.

All this obsession with individualism and personal freedom new, or is it primitive, concoction of politicians. A single human in battle with the world, what a reductive concept.

i dont understand!

It was the social media of the day. Keep in mind though that vehement disagreement on the village green back then could lead to the occasional duel.

Just checked back into this thread to see if jerryg123 ever surfaced again (the only reason I checked back in on this thread!).  Hope jerry is recovering!
