RE: A new Lincoln book, The Broken Constitution
Well David, since we don't live in a Socialist paradise, yes I am biased in favor of profits. After all, a Chevy salesperson wouldn't last too long trying to sell Ford's.
However, it's presumptuous of me to think that just because I don't like a book my view is the end all and be all and no other opinion matters. I am more knowledgeable than many, but that doesn't translate into omniscience. As Josiah Bartlett once said on the West Wing, absolutes generally end with a body count. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
