NHSouth.Com is an experiment in using the internet to bring the local interests and businesses of Southern New Hampshire to the people of New Hampshire and to the people of the world. NHSouth.Com is also an experiment in freedom of speech and Commerce. In the 1830s, historian Steven Watts writings about the results of the formation of the United States wrote, "a coherent cluster of values and attitudes appeared out of the wreckage of colonial tradition. It connected Protestant moralism, capitalist acquisitiveness and possessive individualism to establish a domestic ideal of middle-class life and the cult of the self-made man." The Motto printed on our state Automobile number plates is "Live Free or Die" and one of the original founders of this great country, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "If you expect a nation to be ignorant and free, you expect what never was and can never be." I feel that the philosophies and attitudes represented in part by the above quotations and motto are still present today in many of the people of New Hampshire. Yankee common sense, Independent thinking philosophies, stubbornness, resourcefulness and many of the other traits whose characteristics are common to the people of NewHampshire and New England stem from our vast heritage. There A Statement made By Benjamin Franklin as recorded by James Madison in notes of constitutional convention meeting MONDAY SEP 17, 1787 "I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other." As members of this community, it is our responsibility to see to it that the form of government we are proud of in this state remains true to our forefathers. That is only accomplished by a very active involvment and concern in local and state government. We feel that the Internet will play an increasingly more important part in this process. The Internet not only allows us to exchange information nationally & internationally but it also allows us to exchange information in our own local neighborhoods |
