Will these be coming out in hardcover?
Someday...
You're keeping an archive!? I'll bet you got pictures of yourself hanging on the wall in your sitting room.
I had never read the "Shoe Shine" post.
And I thought the "Operational Architecture" was the only thing I taught you on the JS.
I must have missed the voting deadline . . .
"voting deadline".....that's rich.
I just read your comments on the 17th. Amendment. I agree with your conclusion, it was a huge mistake. The framers wanted House members to represent the interests of their districts, Senators the interests of their States and the President the interests of the nation as a whole. The 17th. Amendment came about as a reaction to the "states rights" advocates and the ensuing War of Northern Aggression (you may know it as the Civil War).
Before the 17th. Amendment every Senator owed his job to the State legislatures, whom they directly represented in Washington. The 10th. Amendment was actually taken seriously. I view the 17th. amendment as the beginning of the rot. One of the first steps on the road to an all powerful centralized government, and consequently tyranny.
