“Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”
-John Adams
To understand the past, we must research it and learn from it. To move boldly into the future, we must not only learn from the past but creatively expand our horizons while growing as people. Too often, this all flies out the window when it comes to voting, elections, and politics.
So, today, I’m here to help. I suggest you put this show your watch list:
John Adams on HBO
While you may know John Adams’ place in history — you’ll learn through his personality, passion and persistence. You’ll also quickly notice how the early congress was full of difference and debate — something many forget. Also … as you’ll note in the series - the media and opposition take downs were, even in 1778, maybe not all that different than today.
Anyway, no deep dive analysis here — I’ll let you do that on your own. But, as we head closer to Independence Day, I’m certain that you’ll find interesting insights in “John Adams.”
Enjoy. 🗳️
