To answer myself (does that make me an Academic?;)) I do think Indigenous cultures played a part as practical models of democracy studied by Franklin and others. I just think Enlightenment philosophers like Locke played a larger part and weren't really mentioned. Also English Law (Magna Carta...

Look at Oct 11 and that plus these are all we opened this year so far. FL, JJD, K&C & TGM. Look forward to Egyptians vs Hittites en masse for X-Mas. Also a Persian Chariot for New Years. Cheers and Happy Holidays and Happy collecting, Pats

Make that 10 JJD chariots altogether. We will open 8 by New Years and save 2 for next X-Mas. For details, see What Have I Acquired Recently thread. Happy collecting!

Good idea!

The native Americans were given too much credit for inspiring US democracy. What about Greco-Roman culture? Surely colonists would have been more influenced by the cultures they studied and looked up to than people who were regarded as savages (unfairly - indigenous culture is rich, but that's...

Sounds interesting. A good idea for an X-Mas book gift.

Finished the series late last night. Dad & I never mind a bit of talk about slavery in US History. I thought it was mostly relevant and not overly woke. I enjoyed the focus on battles and had little trouble imagining them - especially in toy soldier form! Some interesting issues are raised...

Episode One was good. We'll watch #2 tonight. Pats

Love your pics Mike! Always look for your latest work of art. Good stories behind the scenes. Pats

Always love your posts. A riot. "Who do I owe money to..." Ha! Pats

Superb! Always a blast to see you work. Paddy

Wow. Great dio. Please keep posting. Paddy

Great dioramas neatly displayed. Love your posts. Keep up the good work! Paddy

What a great diorama direct from JJD. Talk about hand-to-hand sets - this is chariot-to-chariot! Good price too. I hope someone shows theirs. We will show the Kadesh chariots (5) & Egyptian figures we bought when we open them at X-Mas. Best Wishes and Happy Ancients Collecting. Google Roman Road...

The Health Care System. I may have little to no coverage next year or pay premiums I can't really afford. Not blaming any party, but would like to see something changed. On a lighter note, salt shakers with sugar in them or vice versa. Still better than the solidified ketchup bottles... Stay in...

An essential set for many. The piper, yet to be released, looks great. Love this range always. Pats

Dynamic. Awesome. We have 8 JJD chariots but these are most tempting! Happy Collecting Pats

All very true. Business is best apolitical. Even labor union biz. Booze bucks should not be questioned! Seriously, a discerning pallet is essential. That and general sobriety:cool:. I agree about Fox, just sad how they target our state. I believe firmly in freedom of speech. Thanks for helping...

Most people I know who moved out-of-state went to Colorado. Others include Texas and adjoining states. FL and CA are just not popular right here for whatever reason. But statistics will show you where people are moving due to this FOX-fueled competition. (I substitute a U for the O for that...
