I borrowed it [Arator] from John Taylor of Caroline, a Virginia planter and Jeffersonian who, in the early 1800's, wrote some prescent political commentary warning his countrymen of the dangers posed by the combination of federal power and northern commercial interests to agriculture and his native region, the South. He wrote these essays under the pseudonym, Arator. As I am an Agrarian Jeffersonian and Confederate sympathizer at heart, I adopted his pseudonym as my FReeper name. I was hoping you'd agree to be polite, ignore the flamebait, and stay. I'm interested in what "John Taylor of Caroline," a Jeffersonian, might think about today's challenges. But, I'm a Virginian.
. . stay. I'm interested in what "John Taylor of Caroline," a Jeffersonian, might think about today's challenges. One thing about Arator: he is the only source of information on John Taylor.
