Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dream of America flowered from an idea that was irrational and audacious---a man from La Mancha "impassible dream". Every young person must know what dreams people were arguing about 100 years ago. As students are developing their world view, my intent is to save them years immersed in philosophic clutter. They will find here the five immovable requirements of a free and moral arrangement of society. The ideas presented here are essential for preparing students to meet life's big questions. One might acquire advanced degrees across many academic disciplines and never encounter these essential precepts for a successful advanced society. The universal concepts that sustain an open culture have become largely foreign to our youth. The intent of this booklet is to provide an entry-level work. The task is to entice the reader by a compelling story of conflict and competition between two supreme intellects of the twentieth century. To this end we are not above employing set ups and pay offs to keep pages turning. All of this is accomplished without one sentence of hyperbole. The promises of the extreme title and subtitle themselves may be seen as a set up and pay off. In view of the significant consequences of the subject matter, the promise is not difficult to deliver. Today our youth see growing disintegration of our civilizing institutions. The cords of church and family may be broken. Students may look to academia for orderly guidance but they are often lost in a roiling sea of little ideas. Many students are bored by the minutiae or threatened by the exclusive jargon of experts. It is widely known that many young people crave powerful principles clearly presented. For this reason this little book will enjoy a target audience willing to turn its pages. The target audience includes college students in every discipline including the natural sciences. Hopefully this booklet is small enough to be wedged into almost any tight curriculum. In a search of related books of Political Science and political philosophy this vital knowledge is nowhere so easily and quickly obtainable. No Student should leave college without the little book One Mistake, One Hundred Million Deaths.
