Actually, after editing, I thought #18, #19 and most of #20 were the worst becuse of the pedantic history lessons. At least at the end of #20, they tie all that history together for a conclusion and a warning.
I’ll have to read your next entries with that in mind. I was taught, by more than one teacher, never to assume that readers posess the facts I used to reach my conclusion.
I was taught in sales that my customers would rather be bored than deceived, and Hamilton failed in that regard. What he wrote must have sounded good to him; it’s a mockery of human ambition to me.
