This giveaway was hijacked and moved out of WSS because it was "political". I originally posted it in WSS as a thanks to the people in that sub forum that have been so helpful to me. It finds its way here since the mods felt it should have been in the political forum. Not sure why people get all territorial with their fake internet power...any who...here we go.
As you may, or may not, know, I used to teach Political Science at the University of Arizona while I was attending grad school. I have a fondness for the historical, political, and philosophical. I especially have a weak spot for James Madison (so much so I named my daughter Madison) and Thomas Jefferson (he was a very radical thinker). This giveaway is a tiny remainder of my library which has slowly dwindled since leaving Academia for other (not necessarily green but just as satisfying) pastures.
These great thinkers were not above changing their mind when reason told them to and were masters at changing the minds of others to suit their ends.
Just post a moment in which you felt compelled to honestly change your mind about a political believe you thought you held so firmly it could never be changed.
Oh, and since I am working on an AR build throw in a pic of yours if you happen to have one so the thread has some eye candy.
The prize is my beat up old copy of The Federalist papers. You must have a Rat Pack # to participate, UNLESS, you post a pic of your AR-15. Will pick a winner on 4/4 some time.
