I never knew you were a fan of 1776, Xhonzi. I it one of my favorites. Before your time, I used John Adams as my avatar here.

You wound me to the quick, sir! We have had many a conversation on these very boards regarding our mutual adoration of 1776. I sent you a PM way back in the day when I first saw your John Adams avatar. Perhaps you have forgotten, but I never have.

Xhonzi, I have to bet you are not exactly a fan of Dickinson's song, Cool Cool Considerate Men. ; )

I don't really identify with the so-called "right winged" or "conservative" men of the time, so it doesn't really bother me. It's not my favourite song in the piece by a long shot... so I guess it's true to say I'm not a fan of it. Can you say that you are a fan of it either?

The drifting of definitions such as "progressive", "liberal", "conservative", "democrat" etc. would be interesting to take to the Politics thread. I don't think many modern day conservatives identify with those guys. But I bet both left wing and right wing camps claim the likes of Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, etc...
