Try a little on for size:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>And there you have it: the whole danged Liberty vs Tyranny issue, boiled down to its constituent parts in just three short sentences. 53-foot trailerloads of compelling if unsettling reading left yet, incredible as that may seem, touching on All The Things\u2014from ethnic cleansing to white supremacism to Neegrow reparations (ie, Dollars for Darkies) to Climate Change (formerly Global Warming, formerly Global Cooling, formerly The Weather)\u2122 to Stalin and Pinochet and, momentarily, Tucker Carlson, before Tom finally says fuck this shit, throws up his hands, and shags his happy ass on back to the good ol\u2019 Republic of Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, it\u2019s a long \u2018un, but seeing as how this is, or soon will become, one of the most urgent, impactful debates of our time, its pivotal nature nicely balances out any objection to the length of the piece. With this magisterial, thorough, and timely work, presented in a conversational rather than a professorial tone, what Mike Anton has done is provide us with a quite useful, readily comprehensible study guide which adroitly explicates every angle, every historical predicate, every position, and every possible motivation and\/or rationalization driving said debate, on both sides.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Like Anton\u2019s, my own stab at this beast is long, but I think you\u2019ll find it well worth your time and attention, as is Anton\u2019s. As I\u2019m so fond of saying, go ye and read of both of them, for They. Are.
