Wow.
We shall never debate :)
Great post.
Looks like it was written about a freaking college History professor.
Many things I did not know.
And yes I know, being compared to a college professor is an insult these days. I meant it as a compliment.
That is one of the most remarkable things about FreeRepublic. I learned a great deal about such things since first joining. The OP provides the bread crumbs and I wander off in search of books/articles/etc. to learn more. Don’t take my word for anything, merely use it as the impetus to find the knowledge for yourself.
There are many great minds on this forum that I have learned from. Yourself included.
