I have just been checking this out - I have not read all of his material for his proposed book but WOW, does it look good so far.

Give it a look and keep this bumped if you agree.

My understanding is that it is still a "work in progress".

I did see the date, I have not checked out his forums to see if his ideas are actively discussed or not. I heard the book was supposed to be called something like "foundations of an ideal society".

well, it took Shelby Foote 20 years to write The Civil War: A Narrative.

I'd think that if Mr. Skousen takes that long, the Revolution will have already succeeded or failed by then. but maybe not.

I wonder if 9/11 had an effect on his schedule. many revolutionaries dropped their protests and became government supporters about then. you know, "with us or with the terrorists".
