Thank you, LS!

Oh, my, you are correct, of course.

On the other hand, if, while this electronic window is open for obtaining actual texts of ancient, late 18th and 19th-Century documents containing the ideas of liberty, perhaps other generations will avail themselves of the opportunity to rediscover and perpetuate those ideas for posterity.

By their heavy-handed approach to governing, wouldn't it be ironic if the overreach of so-called "progressives" may have created an environment conducive to renewed interest in Adam Smith's 1775 conclusions about wealth creation, as well as a curiosity about the revolutionary ideas of liberty which motivated the men of 1776 and 1787 and produced the greatest burst of freedom, opportunity, prosperity and plenty in the history of mankind?

It is, as with anything, a double edged sword. The internet creates vast opportunities to decentralize, but it also creates an opportunity for the right tech-geek to centralize all non-physical-book knowledge!
