Re: Hello

I'm sure it's nothing I haven't read (or written) before myself. I may not be very old, but I realize a few things about life and about history that many my age probably don't. Take for example the age of the Revolutionaries; just about anyone my age would typically think they're...not old perhaps, but old enough to be beyond the scope of people they could relate to. On the other hand, I can see that they're young, terrifyingly young to be leading a country. Brilliant, eloquent, yes, but not old and sage. Perhaps I'm unusual, or perhaps I no not from where I speak; I'll leave you to judge that, shall I?

You do great research.
I don't know about that; I do research well-enough to distinguish truth from propaganda and I do have the advantage of being able to get into the Stanford University library any time I want....When I'm a historian and write a book on the Revolution, that will probably be the better time to weigh my abilities.
