The Federalist Papers


The Federalist Papers?  Anyone read them?  The Hamilton biography mentions them.  Amazing amount of writing by Hamilton, 50+ of the 85 entries.  Between him and James Madison (and a few submissions from John Jay).  Must have been so cool to sit in the constitutional congress jarring with the best of them thinking about this new nation.  Interesting some of the laws they put on the books.  How the times have changed from conservative thinkers to liberal life in the 2000s.  How the “fathers of our nation” must be shaking their heads from above.  Not that we have things all bad, huh?  Really gives a perspective on the thinking of the day.  On another topic – visited Eddie V’s for Dinner in Austin.  Great place.  Austin…ugh!  Not so much.
