I’m just about to head out to the beach so take your time in responding.

 

U may have in fact hit on something very very very important when u say “Jeffreson knew the art of persuasive writing” [sic] which reminds me of something TU recently mentioned, TU like many others a little shell shocked right, thank G-D, have grown awfully silent, again thank G-D, but before I get carried away again, tell me the chronology of events that led up to the War of Independence, putting aside for the moment “...art blah blah”, i.e. is there any evidence that the King [George] of England was presented with even a draft copy?

 

So when u say that u r ready to take “off the gloves” lets first make as certain as us human beings can be that we r operating off the same page of history without me having to regress into mathematics at the highest levels in order to keep folks whose formal education has yet to interfere with their learning entertained and at the same time keep the masses from arriving at each of our doorsteps not really interesting in being “used and abused” by the ruling elite who allow some of us to flex our “gift of the gab” in doing their dirty work of socking it to the poor and downtrodden with prose, agree?.

I'm ready to take off the gloves.  You are on your own with respect to your response to Me Thinks, but me thinks the founding fathers such as Jefferson knew the art of persuasive writing -- and lest I digress -- why did we regress to some other, less effective forms of written communication. SO much for evolution.
