Once you break up those sentences and paragraphs into bite-size pieces, it becomes easier to penetrate that 18th Century English prose. Thus the ideas become clearer.

Bill and I are aware that there is little debate on these threads, and we see three possibilities:

• People just aren't interested in this stuff.
• People are interested, but still find that prose hard to penetrate and assimilate.
• People understand it but can't see what there is to debate.

We're still trying to figure out which it is and why this hasn't taken off the was the Atlas Ahruged effort did. Maybe it's just the difference between popular fiction and a course on government.

Glenn Beck wants people to get familiar with the writings of the Framers, and we think we see a way to get people to read them and not fall asleep. How successful we are remains to be seen.

I think there is a lot of head shaking.

Can’t believe we are going through this crap again.

There is also the issue of speaking to the true believer.

Yes, we do need to know this stuff but how do you in turn transmit it to heads full of mush (Rushism) or the class of the indoctrinated that just want to shout you down .

It is very depressing.

But don't stop. I'm loving it. I never studied this stuff in public school or college, but had to take it upon myself over the years to learn it. And even then, never to this degree.

You are providing a free Master's course in early American history.

And yes, this will be on the final.
