Ooof. That’s a convincing point.

I want to disagree with you, but logically I cannot. Before I saw your post, I had leaned in that same direction.

I see my home state of NH is holding strong 😡

Makes one realize we really aren't that far apart. I'll think of Ireland the next time I see Turkey Tail, which is almost every day!

I think that’s right, but a quick search found this as a somewhat recent official “Woodward” tartan: www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetail...

Thank you, I’ll put the Medford date in my calendar.

Wish I could be there! Any others coming up on the schedule?

It takes a village for sure (or a country), but leadership and scholarship such as yours is invaluable.

It occurred to me yesterday that perhaps the reason why Trump has no respect for tradition or customary practices of the past is that they are constraining. In other words, he's not an innovator. He's actually scared of anything in the past that would make him think about more than himself.

While I don’t buy it 100%, only because our history is so multi-faceted, there’s a great deal of truth in the video. The core message about our history is solid.

Thank you Marty for all the work you're doing! It's invaluable and much appreciated.

Not a new thing. It's been there for years. I worked in SV in the late 90's/early 20's. I remember my boss, the CEO of a "hot 100" start up, talking about cutting off the ears his enemies. There's always been an authoritarian mindset with SV execs because they think they create reality, like DJT.

The common thread is patrimonialism

I'm from NH and live in NH and while I know of the other Sununu's quite well (my grandfather served in the legislature when John, Sr. was Governor), I don't recall this John Sununu in office either, FWIW.
