Are you Radical, Doug?
I would suppose that would depend on one's definition of radical.
I'm not trying to be coy.
My point in posting these quotes was nothing more than to illustrate that if Washington had said some of these things in modern times he would by some be labeled a fringe radical.
And to wish the old boy a happy birthday.
I understood your post completely, I was just wondering if you are still that scrappy-enrgetic-kaduku-rowdy-argumentive person that I once knew. I know what you look like... now, but is Doug still inside? hint.. coy is not in my vocabulary... although it should be, seeing as I'm a college student..
Argumentive??!!!
Why I oughta'!!!....

College man now huh? Another from the ranks of the learned is amidst. Good for you. Seriously.
