They guaranteed nothing but felt like things would be resolved with Amazon in a week or so. Barnes and Noble has the paperback version listed right now.

Calling a spade a spade works sometimes and sometimes you have to call it a bloody shovel. You do both admirably and with logic.

(1) Neither predictable knee jerk leftists nor predictable knee jerk rightists

(2) Holders of generally sound views on human liberty and individual rights

(3) Don’t wallow in paranoid conspiracy theories, anti-Semitism, etc.

(4) Write decently with a modicum of thought and wit

You are one of the few. HOWEVER – while that sentiment of mine may be considered a compliment, I also find it an unfortunate sign of the degeneracy of our so-called “intelligentsia”. Ideas that used to be routinely expressed by Mason, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin and others are now passe compared to “national greatness” and the Nanny State. So I tip my hat to you as one of the few sane people in the asylum.

[Thanks. See Post]
