When I was discussing some of the topics that have been on NLD recently my husband recommended two things to read.  One was Plato's Republic and the other was the Federalist Papers.  So, guess what?  I hav embarked on reading them.  Starting with the Federalist papers which I can read online.  Some of you may have read them a long time ago or not at all.  I don't think I have ever read either of them although it would seem that we should have studied the Federalist Papers in high school.  Those guys certainly had a flowery but eloquant way of writing.  Anyway, I am going to plow through them.  Anyone want to discuss then please do.
