It is a work in modern literature in the classics, a love story and tragedy of contrasts in character about America.
American Exceptionalism is characterized by every American citizen understanding, believing, and living the words - Self-evident, Consent, Life, Liberty, Happiness, Dignity, Equality, Equity - which embody the enlightenment values characterized by reason.
Every American, if you do understand and believe these words, is also an institution. Then you are not only American but human, because reason is the anomaly of being human.
Genocide, war, and money as free speech violate these American values. War is state fascism and terrorism is non-state fascism. War and the state of Orwellian perpetual war - war as peace, peace through strength, Pax Romana - causes the state of perpetual poverty.
The social liberal is characterized by communicable diseases, unhealthy personal habits as a pervasive cultural phenomenon such as smoking, addictions to hallucinogenics, opioids and narcotics, prescription drug abuse, alcoholism, pornography, debauchery and licentiousness, gluttony, money and greed for unlimited accumulation of wants by depriving others of their needs, pandemics, and war - cyber, economic, and military - which are undesirable public health and a public safety threats.
Freedom is for the common everyday man to be able to be free in daily life to do whatever they want in family, community, province, nation, and world in moderation as long as they are not a public health and a public safety threat.
Liberty is not the same as the present day social liberal. Liberty is liberation or salvation or nirvana or moksha in theosophy. It is an enlightenment idea for the Ages. An individual, solitary, path up the mountain to the mountain top. Bliss. Stillness. Calm. Inner Calm and Peace. All restlessness is gone. Spiritual, absolute power you attain after a psychic struggle - Kuruskhetra, David v. Goliath, Revelation, Jihad, Eight Fold Path - within yourself. Not in a physical war characterizing each other as good or evil as Mani. Otherwise, you get fascism, Plato's dystopia Kallipolis.
This is a novel in defense of values.
