5000 Year Leap - W. Cleon Skousen

So yes I need to desperately catch up with my many book reviews.  I have huge list of books I would like to read and just recently went through quite a few.  Recently I read this book called the 5000 year leap.  It was about the 28 principles of freedom and this provided great insight into the reasons the constitution was formed.  I will let you in on why this book is called the 5000 year leap.  The idea is that due to the miracle of our constitution and the principles of freedom that the founders used, we as humans in the last 200 years made leaps and bounds that humans could not do over the course of 5000 years.  Now really think about that.  Humans have been around a long time, but it has only been in the last 200 years that we have been able to discover so many things.  I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that in our country we don't oppress brilliant minds.  I think it is wonderful that we live in a country that allows individuals to really think "outside the box".  Anyways this book is a little dry at times, but it does offer many enlightening ideas about our country and should give everyone something to think about.

Yours Truly,
