Talking Points on Stimulus... Is Obama a type P?...
In the process of replying to Jeff Hummel in the comments, I came across this useful summary of the death toll of the wars of the 18th century.  And there's a lot more where that came from.  Read them and weep.

Liberty Fund logo, amagi symbol
The cuneiform inscription in the Liberty Fund logo is the earliest-known written appearance of the word "freedom" (amagi), or "liberty." It is taken from a clay document written about 2300 B.C. in the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.
