[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 461694, member: 1690"] Interesting to contemplate, Vito. I'm an admirer of both men, who were good friends, btw. I tend to look at the Revolution for its ideas, rather than its "history." I find the latter a bit boring (who was where, when, and how did that battle turn out?, etc.), having tried reading several "classics" of the era with little success or retention. The important thing to remember in my opinion is that these were men of the Enlightenment who exalted reason and the individual, and it is no accident that their writings, ideas, and actions were similar or identical. Ergo one could say, in a manner of speaking, that philosopher John Locke was the author of the Declaration of Independence. [/QUOTE]
