The principles of freedom and liberty for all established the spiritual foundations of democracy in the new world, which have fueled the everlasting aspirations of the American people, and the global people, as well. Jeffersonian abstractions are superbly consistent with the moral, systemic, and scientific enlightenment of humankind. It is this psychological blindness that drives the deeply flawed bicentennial book. Moreover, in the postmodern, postindustrial, postcapitalist era there is growing awareness that improvement of the system of human society and its environment must be predicated upon the ethics of whole systems supported by democratic infrastructures. The exercise of citizenship and achievement of freedom and liberty are dependent upon that human right of the people, which is the basis of American democracy drawn from the Golden Age of Greek civilization.
Social power is, thereby, also created.
With such adjustments in shared power, a fair competition of ideas may be pursued concerning the forces of localization and globalization. Mr. Jefferson's genius is not stuck in a time warp irrelevant to contemporary America, as suggested by the Library of Congress bicentennial book. Rather, he was more than two centuries ahead of his time. By pursuit of the abstractions of freedom and liberty as a dynamic social aspiration of everyone, the whole global civilization is called upon to bring their awesome creative efforts into harmonious relations.
