I think the age of the common man is a less problematic term than the age of jackson because a lot of these things are happening independent of jackson or the jacksonians. I think you could do worse than the age of the common man. If you want to pitch it that way. Granted, native americans probably disagree with that. That is the thing. I am jotting down a list of the broad themes that happened 1815 to 1848. Youve got enfranchisement transportation revolution, a rise in the conflict over slavery, president jackson who towers over the period for 812 years or so, market revolution the age of reform. You can attach historian names to all of those themes. Professor feller well done. Thank you. And we are trying to look for the unified field theory. It probably does not exist that ties it all together. Maybe the best thing to do is here is all these themes, and Andrew Jackson was the big kahuna, and so jackson was the and Andrew Jackson was the big kahuna and be done and not try to figure o
It comes back operationally, we do tolerate failure. The first thing in the field, this is not a zero mentality. People make mistakes. Theres fog and friction and we reward innovation and i think it exists. Constitutional ly institutionally, its a little harder. But in the acquisition realm the processes are not they grind on so its not that they dont reward innovation. Its that innovation and new ideas dont naturally arise from it because theres a risk aversion. Everybody wants a piece of it, they want to add their requirement to it. Its hard to get the process right. Intellectual intellectually, you read other things, you read small wars journal, every major interesting piece that are at odds often with what the secretary and the chief are saying. Thats a great thing. And the army has this incredible ferment. Do those people stay in the army . Are they punished for . I never really sayee that. The army is a culture, and so i have no doubt we have certain cultural biases. We try to no
Steve comes from an entirely different background. He has all the credentials for anyone going through medical and psychiatric work both in 5 00 deem ya and in public and private service. But, rather than go through a recitation of his ceil denble id rather give you some insight to steve as a writer, researcher, historian. In 41 years last 25, as the civil war specialist and lincoln curator, i entertained many prospective writers and very seasoned authors. We would talk and, occasionally, i really could be of some service. I was responsible for bringing in new material. Neither purchasing or accepting donations of rare manuscripts. It had so few users on record. It was really a contest about a contest set up for civil war veterans who lost their right arm, many of them lost their right arm or leg. They applied the object was to stimulate them or train thems into the use of the opposite limb. With a 500 top prize and that was so successful, it repeated several times. The life writing of
According to the official results of the referendum it was what . 98 support for seceding and becoming part of russia and that was during a time when the russian army occupied crimea. And so it was not a free and Fair Election. But im prepared to believe that had it been a free and Fair Election in crimea at that time over half would have said the same thing. I would agree. There is clearly discontent in that part of ukraine. I would just like to add that this is spoken of a fan of usia in the past. I think it shows the effect particularly among the russian speakers who depend on Russian Television in those areas as a source of information in their view of the world is a constant 24 hour of russian information policies. The effect of television particularly monopoly television and the fact that as the crisis started there was almost nothing comparable to the organized innovation information transmission that was going on in that part which was voluntarily chosen. Its possible to get ra
