Papers

What is it about newspapers that keep us subscribing? I find myself asking that question every time the bill comes in. We cut down from every day to just the weekends, but they still stack up. We often don't read them, but dutifully stack them in the garage until I haul them to the boy scout paper drive at the Church.

Papers are the most physical embodiment of the 1st Amendment to our constitution. You can hold one of the most powerful forces on earth in your hands. Our nation was born largely due to a popular movement that was informed primarily through articles in papers published by the great patriots of the time.

Newspapers now are largely owned by liberal leaning thinkers in this country, slanted to the left in many ways, but nonetheless, a voice for our people. They are an institution that, if gone, would leave a huge void in our liberties.
