More DescriptionAfter writing a column in a small town paper for a few years, some fans of Lawrence Reed decided to put this collection together for your enjoyment. What's so special about this volume is not just that it's good reading. It's also that the author is, in manyrespects, having a conversation with the very people who live in that small town. Because they are among the people left who still hold the two values through which the author regards the world: liberty and character.Readers of this book will not only be able to see the world with greater breadth and depth, but they'll also find guideposts in a universe that at times seems morally disorienting. They'll find sketches of people, living and dead, who are exemplars of liberty and character (and some who are not). And they'll recallthat these values are not quaint enlightenment fancies, but timeless truths to be rediscovered from time to time.
