I’m just wondering where everybody is.

Well, we’ve had some good discussion on these threads. I know I enjoy pontificating. I wonder if when we post, if we should post back to the whole ping list. That way the pot might be stirred a bit more.

What I got reading through the constitution, early American history and the federalist papers this past year is that as much as we on Free Republic might want to think of our government as a federal government, it was not the intent of the federalists to create one. They wanted a national government. Even though they had to compromise with the small states and make a Federal government (through the Senate) they expected that the national government would win out over time. Much like it has.....

Do you think we should reply back to the whole ping list or is that too pushy?
