Burr-Hamilton Duel
Today is the 203rd anniversary of the Aaron Burr - Alexander Hamilton Duel. (Or is it the Alexander Hamilton - Aaron Burr Duel?) Either way, this duel is probably still the most famous in American history. I used to think as a kid that this was yet more reason to think that politicians were crazy because they got so worked up about things that didn’t really matter all that much. For the most part, I still think this is true. It’s good from time to time to take a few steps back and recognize that most of the time the things we are worried about aren’t really all that important.
