I think it’d do well for anybody given our current state of politics.

That’s short work though. I’m re-reading the Lord of the Rings. I’m about a 1/3 of the way thru Return of the King. I need something to take my mind off of the shit show that’s currently playing out. This fills the bill nicely. That, and Scotch. Lots and lots of Scotch.

I has been a while, but as I consider myself somewhat of a federalist, I should probably re-read them, too.

What?!? No! God forbid we'd learn the basis for our political structure!

Too much work. I learned everything I need to know about American history from National Treasure.

I think u have it backwards. I’m not reading the Federalist Papers for S & G’s here.

Great^? uncle Alexander! They knew that limiting power was the key to success of this thing. Now it doesn’t matter as long as you win.

To listen to the Hamilton soundtrack.

Just finished doing that myself. Thinking about Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy next. And Scotch.

I’ve read the hitch hikers guide. I need something new. I have guns germs and steel up on deck for my next audio book. That seems cool.

I thought the basis of our political structure was racism?

Any of the discworld series are pretty fun. Small Gods, Pyramids, and Guards! are my personal favorites.

No, actually it was owning property, up to and including slaves. And being a rich, white, heterosexual, christian male.
But clearly none of that has anything to do with racism!

Riiiight... I missed that part of the description of what a “Freeholder” was as well as the part where slaves were considered land. Rich? Nope. Land was cheap and plentiful, making the majority eligible. Being male and a member of the predominant religious group? Name another society that didn’t have similar beliefs at that point in the development of humanity.
