What did Edward John Smith do?
He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.
Who said If you want freedom of the press buy one?
Sorry, I don't have the answer, but I do have some info. I have not been able to verify it, but I thought H.L. Menken said, "If you want freedom of the press, then go out and buy one." Maybe not, but see below.Menken was famous for saying, "There is no underestimating the intelligence of the American public," but the 'buy one' quote may come from elsewhere, with William Randolph Hearst also a candidate.It is similar to "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one," which has also been attributed to Menken, but comes form A. J. Liebling, "Do you belong in journalism?", The New Yorker, 14 May 1960. As for Hearst, his character is better captured by the statement, "You can crush a man with journalism."All of has led many to question freedom of the press. Churchill was reported to have said, "As to freedom of the press, why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?" (Piers Brendon, Winston Churchill: A Biography, Harper & Row, New York,1984, p. 105.) It seems, however, that this was originally said by Lenin, to whom the same quote is attributed by Menken, of all people. Lenin prefaced it by first saying, "Why should freedom of speech and freedom of the press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns." (Lenin, Speech in Moscow, 1920, collected in H. L. Mencken, A New Dictionary of Quotations on Historical Principles from Ancient and Modern Sources Selected, New York, A. A. Knopf, 1942.)By the way, Lenin was not finished:We do not believe in 'absolutes.' We laugh at 'pure democracy.' [As for t]he 'freedom of the press' slogan . . . No country in the world has done as much to liberate the masses from the influence of priests and landowners as [Soviet Russia] has done, and is doing. We have been performing this function of 'freedom of the press' better than anyone else in the world.All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake "public opinion" for the benefit of the bourgeoisie. This is a fact. No one will ever be able to refute it.(Vladimir Lenin, "A Letter To G. Myasnikov," Lenin's Collected Works,1st English Edition, Progress Publishers, Moscow, 1965, Volume 32, pp. 504-505.)
What are some differences between the first and second creation stories?
The first creation story in Genesis 1 emphasizes the order and structure of creation, with God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh. It focuses on the grandeur and majesty of God's creative power. The second creation story in Genesis 2 provides a more intimate and detailed account of the creation of humans and the Garden of Eden.
