What is Jessica Thinking?

Well, I'll tell you. I've been thinking a lot about liberty and the necessity of a moral society in order to maintain liberty and about how liberty is not at its core a political principle, but a spiritual one, an eternal principle. I actually plan to write an entire missive about it one day, because I think this is a truly important idea. And I love liberty and I want to keep having it and I want all of you to have it too.

So I've also been reading about liberty and morality and the Constitution and about cultural decline, etc. So I thought I'd share a few articles with you. I don't always agree with every single point these authors are making, but I thought these were good articles and food for thought at least. One of these is rather long, so you'll need to set aside a good chunk of time to read it.

I'll get back to sunnier, happier posts soon -- hopefully this evening.
