Having trouble concentrating?

Be civil. We’re just talking here. I might ask you the same question with regard to your question about my quote of Hamilton. The quotation should have been self-explanatory.

But then, tallyho! we would be off and running with much heat and little light.

Hamilton was a monarchist, which he later denied when he saw our Union was taking a different direction and working better than he expected. He believed (apparently in all sincerity) that the most could be accomplished by a monarch bribing a corrupt legislature with money and position in order to attain desirable ends. Well, he now has his wish (with a president, crony capitalists, unions and advocacy groups, in the stead of a monarch, bribing the legislature).

Wonder how he would have liked it now.

I agree. My bad. No time now. Will try to continue our discussion later.
