Deliberately


john-gunther

Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.  John Gunther (August 30, 1901 – May 29, 1970) was an American journalist and author whose success came primarily through a series of popular sociopolitical works known as the “Inside” books (1936-1972). He is best known today for the memoir Death Be Not Proud about the death of his teenage son, Johnny Gunther, from a brain tumor.

Every picture I find of the man he appears to be smoking, I think he had a problem.
