burner you you would destroy these books

human race has undergone you would know

that hatred only breeds more hatred

we have no time verax wait wait

you are going to see I'm going to show

you I'm going to show you out of the

very records of the books you would

to the time when this earth was born

into these surroundings came a new

preacher of superior intellect our

earliest ancestors primitive man

it took thousands of years for man

develop but as he gained mastery over

the animal world his thoughts began to

refine his physical body

proud of his conquests over nature

the draw fixes on the walls of his claim

this marks the beginning of man's real

problems but the greatest invention that

it more than all else to lay the

foundation of civilization was the

development of writing which it first

took form of the science and sim and

then the alphabet the printed word books

like these and these have done more than

anything else in the world to free

humanity from ignorance and superstition

haven't we heard enough of this drivel

what do we care about this primitive

man's stuff that's the dead past various

dead and I say to you what you call the

dead past is not dead it is alive in us

and we should study our past in order to

determine our present actions think

gentlemen let us go back 3,000 years

before Christ in the land of Egypt

twelve hundred years later Moses founder

of Judaism and the first outstanding

spiritual leader gave the world the Ten.

Commandments

500 years before the birth of Christ

there was born a spiritual leader in

far-off India known as Buddha

Buddha taught that the three great sins

in life are self-indulgence ill-will and

ignorance billions of his followers now

baptize themselves in the river Ganges

long which Buddha preached

at this time Confucius wise man of the.

East gave not only to China but to all

mankind his spiritual teachings that

have spread to many lands and have

endured even to the present day in the

hearts of millions

mighty and tyrannical warriors followed

in the wake of these spiritual teachers

Alexander Hannibal and then curious

season whose conquests changed the map

for the then-known world

and through the ages gentlemen

during the tyrannical rule of these

warlords humanity suffered untold misery

and death paying a tremendous price that

civilization might be advanced

oh is that your yes I wonder what it's

all about you waiting here I'm punchy

what's happened don't worry about me you

wait here

and then gentleman who followed the

greatest event in the history of mankind

known only to the wise men to follow the

star

it was Christ who it says all things

therefore whatsoever ye would that men

should do unto you

even so do ye also unto them what do we

care who live before on what they did

we'll make our own history

you budget

five hundred years after christ was

crucified there was born into the world.

Muhammad the great prophet of the Arabs.

Muhammad again reminded man of his sins

extended his face too many laughs

the blood of countless millions of men

women and children has been sacrificed

in the onward march of civilization men

of great courage throughout the ages

have defined death to preserve the

principles of freedom

I'm sorry miss you should be severely

reprimanded

three great inventors now came as a

great aid to mankind then powder the

sailor's compass and the printing press

gunpowder revolutionize war it brought

an end to the days of knights in armor

one man with a musket proved more deadly

than a hundred men in metal suits

the compass late movement the cross

disease and explore other land extending

trades throughout the world and the

printing list set free a vast store of

knowledge such a store of knowledge

gentlemen as you are now trying to

destroy by half of the book spreaded

around what you were saying about the.

Gunpowder is true it's useful and powder

should be used to preserve not to

destroy mankind to aid of the printing

press the constructive thoughts of men

were carried to the four corners of the

earth

wetting man's appetite for more

knowledge why it was this thirst for

knowledge that inspired the voyage of

Christopher Columbus in 1492 which

resulted in the discovery of America the

new world

200 years later the fill group seeking

religious freedom landed on Plymouth.

Rock and the colonization of America

began

colonists prospered for more than 100

years

then they rebelled against the

guillotine and under the leadership of

George Washington's wonderful little

penis during this revolution the.

Declaration of Independence was written

a document which stands today is an

inspiration to Liberty loving people

throughout the world a document which

proclaimed that all men are created

equal that they are endowed by their

creator with certain inalienable rights

that among these are life liberty and

the pursuit of happiness it is for such

rights gentlemen that humanity has shed

its blood soon after independence was

achieved in America revolution broke out

in France the king and queen and

thousands of the royalty and nobility

were beheaded by the inflamed puppets

and out of the French Revolution sprang

Napoleon Bonaparte who led his nation

through many bloody wars only to end his

days in exile

and less than 100 years later gentlemen

the United States of America which had

extended its boundaries from the

Atlantic to the Pacific was torn by a

great Civil War father against son

brother against brother against the

north in a bloody conflict to decide

issues with the very destiny of the new

world dependent

love the modern city whose guidance

during these days of strife preserves

the nation and helped heal the wounds of

his fellow countrymen

beginning with the nineteenth-century

inventions came thick and fast modern

improvements leap from the minds of men

and revolutionized industry
