<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1833425, member: 57463&quot;]When coins first carried expressly political messages may not be clear, but the roots are ancient, certainly the taproots are.&nbsp; Were the coins of Croesus - Lion and Bull confronting - not his announcement of divine purpose? The &quot;Eagle killing Snake&quot; image is known from ancient Elia and I have one from Cyrene from the time of Magas in revolt against Ptolemy.&nbsp; If not them, then certainly the Romans.&nbsp; No one can deny that the &quot;Ides of March&quot; coins of Brutus were expressly political messages.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there is more to speech than politics.&nbsp; Politics is public.&nbsp; The most important words are the ones in your own head.&nbsp; We learn speech socially, but need it individually. Alone on his island, Robinson Crusoe would not have lived long could he not have verbalized his perceptions.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]303342[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303343[/ATTACH]</p><p>Antoine de Saint Exupery is best known for his <i>Little Prince</i>.&nbsp; He also wrote about flying as a mail pilot in <i>Nightflight</i> and in <i>Wind, Sand, and Stars</i>, among other titles.&nbsp; Living in the United States he became a friend of the Lindberghs.
