re: #183 Atlas Fails
Like I said, put me firmly in the Adams FF camp ;)
I know I’ve mentioned it before, but Profiles in Courage for Our Time really is an excellent book that I encourage anyone with an interest in politics or history (so pretty much everyone here) to check out some time.
I have a copy. I haven’t read all of it but I have read some of it. Speaking of Adams, I bet you liked the John Adams miniseries. Adams had a lot of courage to defend those Redcoats but did so anyhow on the principle that every man is entitled to a defense. I am not a romantic guy on a lot of levels but the Abigail-John relationship is so awesome.
