A Lesson for Our Day

Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
~Thomas Jefferson

Mark: Pa is it possible to loose a town?

Lucas: They could have taken it physically but they couldn’t have kept it. It takes more than just guns to hold a town. No son, when a town or even a country is really lost is when the people who live in it get careless and stop paying attention how it’s being run.

Mark: Well like the Roman Empire.

Lucas: Well you know your history. You were absolutely right when you said the Roman Empire. By knowing mistakes people made 100’s of years ago we can learn a lesson and profit by not making the same mistake ourselves.

Mark: I hope so.

~ The Rifleman
