Concluding remark 

I sincerely hope that this blog has – over the past year or so – provided you with a better understanding of American Politics. I also hope that the knowledge provided will be of benefit in some way, as education opens up so many doors. More importantly, I trust it has stimulated your interest in politics and thereby enabled you to engage more fully with the subject matter. Indeed, I sincerely hope it gives you the intellectual tools required to play a proper role in the political process of this great nation. America is at its best when it inspires participation amongst its people, and we all truly have a part to play regardless of the circumstances of our birth wherever we reside in this union of ours.

 

Benjamin Franklin once said that “America remains a Republic, if … we can keep it that way. All of us have a part to play.” I sincerely hope that we as citizens of this great country can retain a Republic and avoid the tyranny of ignorance. Ignorance can only serve those in power and the vested interests that shape our system. Be empowered … always! I have dedicated my working life to teaching and writing. There is nothing more important to the next generation; and I hope I can play a small role in that.
