Re: Skyler’s Photos
Skyler, those are some great thinkers in the photos on your wall. It is interesting that I did not list Albert Jay Nock but I referenced his biography of Jefferson in the link for Jefferson. Thanks for your list, I am already an avid follower of all but Borlaug and Burzynski, and I will remedy…
