I was introduced to an exciting treatise on early Patriot Movement the other day. I never seem to finish a paper of length on my computer screen because I surf and write so much. It's like reading after lunch on the couch - non-productive. I am getting it spring-bound at The Copy Store today - 5 Copies and when they get the postage worked out I will tell you how much $$ to order and get it sent to your little enclave out front. I want to warn you all though that this has undoubtedly got some Patriot Mythology in it that while some may not be untrue, is really worthless baggage - (like maybe fringed flags and stuff). I have to have it for historic value and I am sure it will explain a lot.

Pied Pipers of Babylon.

One thing that caught my eye in the Introduction that keeps me interested is that it proposes to pick apart Erie Doctrine simply. That interplay between the federal jurisdiction and admiralty is important to understand especially with the Libel of Review suitors file for an evidence repository. On Page 18 of the Admiralty Exposed paper, I found reference to a lecture/paper by Proctor WISWALL in Australia. This was an interesting turning point for me to get my mind wrapped around this.

What happened next was interesting. I began trying to find WISWALL's paper. I found in the Australian University archives but it was removed. Then after five or six similar hits, without any end paper linked I decided to locate WISWALL instead. By that time I was suspicious enough to record the conversation and sure enough I found evidence of what I suspected. That is that Proctor WISWALL, being Australian did not realize the impact his lecture/paper would have on American judicial politics, with the one comment on Erie in the middle of that Comparative Paper.

Get a Listen.

Needless to say; WISWALL and the Mrs. never emailed me a copy. I used different search engines and finally located a copy of the paper to provide you.
