This is a great site that I just came across that lets you download PDF files of classic literature with a focus on individual liberty. Want to read Candide by Voltaire or maybe Cato's letters, no problem. It is simply amazing when one thinks about how easy it is to access literally thousands of books. To think the lengths men and women went to acquire a book or learn to read in ages past. And now that all of this information is merely minutes away, most of our society decides it is more important to vote on the next American Idol or to watch 3 hours of Real Housewives of Atlanta, then to relearn and read the actual works that influenced and formed the basis of our country. For my 2 cents I say the more patriotic person is the one who has actually read Rights of Man or Commonsense over someone who constantly brags about how patriotic they are because they have 15 flags on their house & 20 flag magnets on their car.
