Author Bio: For background see _www.history.ucla.edu/appleby_ (http://www.history.ucla.edu/appleby) . _View Joyce Appleby's Favorites Lists_ (http://www.booktv.org/misc/070206_appleby.html) : _http://www.booktv.org/misc/070206_appleby.html_ (http://www.booktv.org/misc/070206_appleby.html) Cautionary note: Appleby’s biography and favorites list indicates little to confirm she is allied with most of us. That caveat said, almost any discussion of America’s Founding Fathers and their profound perspectives on philosophy and political economy is to be encouraged. Besides in debate you can learn more from intelligent challengers and the thinking that they stimulate than from folks who already agree with most of our understanding. ~ WRF [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
