Well, my purpose is to become aware of how we got where we are.

Is your theme that our needs logically requires more expansive government?
Yes, we need industry to be prosperous and big government seems to follow as a natural consequence.

Or maybe your theme is society starts with a need such as public schools and government can't help themselves and takes total control?
In the beginning, I believe most Americans were farmers. Why would they have a need for schools? I think the need came as industry grew and required some minimum level of education.


Does that help any?
