Independence from Britain-Independence Britain-Independence from the control of others by Howard Stephenson July fourth is called Independence Indepen-dence Day in part because it is the day the 13 colonies officially official-ly declared independence from Great Britain. But we often forget it is the day we celebrate cele-brate the independence of the individual; the public acknowledgment acknowl-edgment that God made man free.

This individual liberty, protected pro-tected by rule of the law, free markets, and private property rights has produced more than two centuries of unprecedented unprecedent-ed prosperity. The Declaration of Independence, according to Joseph L. Bast of the Heartland Institute, gave birth to "...an economy where consumption and investment were guided by prices and profits, rather than by privilege and the force of arms." Living in a nation of abundance abun-dance and relative peace, we too often forget that the rights of the individual have been denied de-nied throughout most of the world's history. But thankfully, thankful-ly, a few brave visionaries were willing to sacrifice all they had, including their lives to advance these rights, although al-though the advances were extremely ex-tremely incremental. In 1215 English barons threatening armed rebellion, forced King John to sign the Magna Carta, establishing the rights of the aristocracy and limiting the power of the king. In 1305 William Wallace of Scotland gave his life in advancing ad-vancing the concept of individual individ-ual rights and in challenging the mistaken notion that the king could do no wrong. Then, on April 19, 1775 on Lexington Green a shot was fired which has continued to echo around the world. The signing of the Declaration Declara-tion of Independence on July 4, 1776 by those pledging their lives, fortunes and sacred honor hon-or proclaimed to the world that the fight for liberty had only begun. As I read the accounts of the winter at Valley Forge just 20 miles from Philadelphia--the capital and most important city in the Union which had been captured by the British-I am amazed that the patriot soldiers sol-diers did not give up. The soldiers were mostly without shoes, many clothed in rags or with only a blanket to cover them. Rations were short and often dinner was only a mouthful of soup made of burnt leaves. Congress was unable to supply the. soldiers with regular wages and tales of suffering at home were frequent. fre-quent. Three years later, at West Point, the army was in worse shape than at Valley Forge.

The Good, The Bad and The ... by an Art Citizen Until July 25 you have an opportunity op-portunity to view the American Ameri-can Watercolor Society show at the UVSC Woodbury Gallery. Woodbury Gallery? This impressive art-space is not on the UVSC campus in Orem but is on the upper floor of University Mall. Light years away from the Painter of Light's mall "gallery," The Woodbury exists ex-ists due to some enlightened philanthropy. There is no direct di-rect public access from the mall interior so use the entrance en-trance next to Nordstrom's at S.E. of the mall. You cannot fail to be awed by the vastness of the exhibition room and the extent of the displays, for in addition to the watercolors on ment and ammunition was scarce. Once again, gaunt soldiers sol-diers stood shoe-less in the snow with nothing to cover them but a blanket. Washington Washing-ton wrote: "The prospects of the Continental Army have never been blacker. We have never experienced a like extremity ex-tremity at any period of the war. It seems now inevitable that West Point must be abandoned aban-doned and the troops dispersed to prey upon the countryside for food." I am always amazed that these patriots were willing to pay such a high price for the liberty which we so often take for granted. Joseph Bast of the Heartland Heart-land Institute argues that the individual liberty and limited government established by the founders has been systematically system-atically eroded over the years: "America once had a vibrant vi-brant system of private schools-what Alexis de Toc-queville Toc-queville in 1835 called the finest education system in the world. It was undermined and largely replaced in the second half of the nineteenth century by government schools designed de-signed by elites and financed by coercive taxation. Horace Mann and John Dewey gave up on liberty and embraced its opposite. By destroying the private schooling they kicked the legs out from underneath a free society. "At the start of the twentieth century the Progressives gave up on free markets and limited government. They called for municipalization of services once privately provided, including in-cluding everything from garb age collection, hospitals, charitable chari-table aid to the poor and parks to municipal water systems, electricity, airports and even traffic lights on city streets. "During the 1930s, in the depths of the Great Depression, Depres-sion, many people gave up on freedom and limited government. govern-ment. The modern welfare state-with its confiscatory tax rates, massive bureaucracies and invasive regulations-was born. The irony of it, of course, is that government caused the Great Depression and once it arrived, government kept the private sector from climbing back out for 10 painful years. "People all around us today are still giving up, calling for increased government spending, spend-ing, more regulations and higher taxes. Republicans and the left side is "The Lucille T. Stoddard Annual Women's Exhibition" Ex-hibition" which runs to July 31. It would be hard but not im-posible im-posible to find anything but the highest quality watercolors on exhibit, and everyone will have their favorites, whether chosen by subject matter, stylistic styl-istic treatments or color preferences. pref-erences. These are not your aunties' watercolors (well most of them aren't but there are a few that due to subject, style and color are more ordinary). You will see an interesting variety of techniques that u se water based paint; some transparent as might be expected and some thickly opaque in a non-traditional manner. Persevere in your viewing for some of the Democrats alike get elected by promising more-never less. The ethics that once supported a culture of self-government are rarely discussed, even less often taught to the next generation. gener-ation. "If the Founders were here today, what would they think of a federal government that spends 20 percent of the country's coun-try's GDP and runs up a $400 billion deficit in a single year? Would they be pleased that government owns and operates oper-ates the schools 90 percent of our children attend, pays for 40 percent of all health care expenditures, ex-penditures, forces the top 10 percent income earners to pay two-thirds of federal taxes and allows 36 million families to pay no income taxes at all?" Mr. Bast asked. Henry David Thoreau's essay es-say CivO Disobedience, written in 1849, explained his reasons for going to jail rather than obeying an unjust law. Thore-au Thore-au wrote, "There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as the higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived and treats him accordingly." It is my hope that we will all consider the thoughts of Mr. Thoreau and our founders before be-fore we ask government to do even more of those things we can and ought to do for ourselves. our-selves.
