our friend has a great story about ben franklin in the post office. ben franklin is mostly known for her keys and lightning, but the post office was a critical visionary invention in early america that subsidize the ability of people to very easily trade information. so many people worked for the post office, that you can describe america in the early days, and this is his words, as a post office with a small military. that is what we wear. that was critical, when you talk about going around america and seeing this civic society that was emerging, it was because we had invested in an infrastructure, a public infrastructure, for information exchange that bound us together and that encoded our democratic values from the beginning. we have done that many times over history. we have done that with libraries, we have done that with public parks. it is one of the things that makes america amazing, that we have had this continual public innovation and how we organize ourselves and our information. if you like we have lost -- i feel like we have lost that ref

samuel johnson was the major textbook writer who ben franklin assigns at the university of pennsylvania for their core curriculum, uses the phrase the pursuit of, happiness, many, many. and he gets it from stone. franklin, prince and all of them think that christianity is consistent with reason that reason is virtue just living in accordance with our best interest reasonable christianity then being the synthesis of enlightenment, understanding reason and christian doctrine completely way denying the christian faith, arguing that is completely consistent right but rejecting dogma and ritual. and what jefferson called monkish superstition. these people are very opposed to the authority of the established of established national church. but and what's so striking that the people today who are insisting that was christian at its founding site in alien tradition that comes from augustine they're neo augustinians and they invoke a natural law tradition that remarkably doesn't appear in this as the founders never cited it. they cited the liberal christian thinkers as well as all the others one

but now we have to defend it, there's a story about ben franklin, that after the constitutional convention in 1787 was asked, what did you give us, a monarchy or a republic? and he said, a republic, if you can keep it. i think that's true of our department. we have an improved department if we can keep it. and i think it's incumbent on all of us to fight to make sure that we can keep it, that concludes my report. great quote. thank you, commissioner yee. thank you very much. their president, cindy elias. wow, that's quite a bit there, kevin, so you should have went first for my report, but, back in march 25th, we, commissioner, walker and commissioner benedicto, we attended, crisis intervention team awards ceremony, it was great to see the first responders receiving their accolades for all the, what they've done for us in this and keeping our city safe in these, response s, also on march 26th, i want to thank the chief and meeting with the chinese community, i know there was a lot of outcry regarding the incidents on last year, july 3rd, but, we got together in the community and explained
