This is the final episode in our series about the Preamble to the
Constitution of The United States. 
Here’s a short list of things we cover.
John Adams quote from a letter to his wife Abigail in 1780: "I must
study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study
mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and
philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture,
navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their
children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture,
statuary, tapestry and porcelain."
"self-interest rightly understood." A huge fallacy to correct these
days is the fallacy that [individual self-interest] and [the larger
community's interests] are mutually exclusive. They're not.

Our intention has always been to uplift, entertain, and encourage
people, especially fellow LGBTQers and progressive allies around
the world, ever since we first started podcasting in 2007.
Over the years, we’ve continued to get messages from listeners
who’ve shared how it’s helped them through difficult times, like
coming out, rejection from family, dealing with religion, or living
in the closet, helping them feel more understood, less alone, and
just kept them going, reminding them and showing them, that life is
worthwhile.
That’s exactly why we do it.
We managed to self-finance the podcast since 2007. For 13
years!
But now, we’re extending an invitation, and a way for you, the
listener, to play a part in supporting it. See all kinds of ways to
