The American experiment in friendship
Alexis de Tocqueville, in the introduction to Democracy in America, noted that the power of the American experience was to be found in the way citizens regularly, powerfully and freely came together to help friends, neighbors and those in need. Such free association he posited, could be the greatest power for good, to lift, ennoble and enlighten citizens of every economic class - not through coercion of government but through cooperation and good will. The American experience has always been an experiment in the inherent goodness of people and the power of friendship.
