I agree with you on this one Tom. Enlightened/ absolutism is an oxymoron.

Sure, perhaps Frank is right about Fredrick the Great.

Ummmm...any others? Yeah...not too many I suspect.

I don't trust the concept. Not one little bit.

Now...lemme see...enlightened individualism...THAT has a nice ring to it. I could get on board with that.

        I meant "political liberty," of course, not the "liberty" to do whatever you want no matter what the damage. - TB - 5/27/2012 6:41:56 PM
