My story on The University of Main eis Hot Off The Press on Medium My article titled How The Morrill Act gave birth to Public Ownership of Private Intellectual Property in the USA.makes the "Hot off the Press" section of Medium's Dialogue * Discourse. This is a history which begins with a  Morrill Land Grant from the federal government which caused controversy because the federal policy of free higher education conflicted with"The New England Idea" “The New England Idea” embodied the belief that the individual rather than the state pays for the cost of higher education and professional training. I followed history through books and legislative records and enacted statutes, to the transformation of the New England Idea into the Communist Idea regarding  intellectual property rights, entrenched at The University of Maine . I know of the intellectual property rights policy implemented by the University of Maine. a land grant college, given birt

How Are We Doing with Free Speech in the USA?

How “The New England Idea” became “ the Communist Idea” ” at the University of Maine   "The Communist Idea" being that authors do not own the rights to their intellectual creations Clement Clay Photo Attribution Mathew Brady [Public domain] I recently published this history of the University of Maine on Medium , selecting the same publication that published my story on IDEXX,Dialogue and DiscIourse.   When i posted my recent stories, I used the drop down menu but I did not get the confirmation that either story had been submitted to the publication, instead they are published outside of a publication where they receive minimal exposure. This is nothing new in my experience. Note : 12 15 2019 Since I published this, I have discovered that the corruption of my publishing function, may be due to having registered under same name twice. This is not yet confirmed, but in the meantime, I have deleted the University of Maine post so that I can resubmit it. Lic

Previous to Home Rule, general obligation bonds in which a particular industry received tax revenues was struck down as a violation of The Maine Constitution, Article IX, Section 8

What Is Conservatism ?

http://goo.gl/6Z9sEu This is the introductory chapter of Public Private Relationships and The New Owners of the Means of Production in which I identify my own political philosophy There is much talk in today's American political landscape about conservatism. This is my view. Conservatism is Individualism The purpose of American conservatism is to preserve the political philosophy of the founders of the   United States, as documented in The United States Constitution, the Federalist Papers and The Declaration of Independence. The fundamental principal of that philosophy is individual liberty. A conservative considers policy within the framework of the United States Constitution.

A progressive devises ways around the Constitution and the statutes if they pose obstacles to what the progressive wants.

Different interests necessarily exist in different classes of citizens. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure. There are but two methods of providing against this evil: the one by creating a will in the community independent of the majority -- that is, of the society itself; the other, by comprehending in the society so many separate descriptions of citizens as will render an unjust combination of
