Well he shouldn't have been out there should he? If I step out on a dueling field, I must expect to be shot and act accordingly to prevent that. Hamilton may have been a 'Christian man' and wanted to fire wide but perhaps if he would have kept his mouth shut instead of publically and needlessly insulting others, he wouldn't have found himself on the dueling field so often. That fact alone testifies to the point that he was a hotheaded punk.

You've got a lot of anger in you. How many duels have you been involved in?

You've got a lot of anger in you.

No anger whatsoever. I tire however of worthless men being elevated to a status they do not deserve. The 'American System' has done more damage to this nation of states and the system of government the Framers intended than any other event, paper, or speech in our history. Big government and the destruction of the balance of power between the states and the federal government can be traced back to one man's warped mind and those that followed him.

The slurs laid against the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence and forwarded the cause of liberty are inexcusable.

How many duels have you been involved in?

None. Dueling is illegal. Or didn't you know?
