Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an intellectual giant of his time. Considered the founder of psychoanalysis, his research and theories helped popularize the study of mental function and disorders, and began to lift them out of the medical dark ages. His formulation of the id, the ego, and the superego gave science a paradigm for evaluating mental function. 

         Freud is also one of the most poignant historic examples of how if we don't start with accurate factors in the beginning, the more we reason, the further from the truth we can get...

         Over three thousand years ago, the Prophet Daniel predicted a time when there would be a great increase of knowledge and travel (see Daniel 12:4). It has been estimated that from the beginning of recorded history, it took the composite knowledge of mankind over five thousand years to double. Then it doubled again in about a century. The increase of knowledge continued to accelerate until now it is estimated that it is doubling at the astonishing rate of every two years.

There were also some just seeking a new life and adventure, but the common denominator for all was that America represented a new beginning. To this day, this remains the main draw for those who want to come...

     The Free Market thrives on freedom. The more it has the better it does. People thrive in freedom. The more freedom people have, the better they do, and the happier and more productive they become, a fact to which history is an overwhelming witness. Mankind was created to be free, and as we are told in II Corinthians 3:17, “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
