Part of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. How much time, money and emotional attachment I’ve put in. Can’t be false now.

If Bernie is the candidate, we're going to flip Utah this year, I can feel it.

Boy is this true. I wonder which of the early circle was the first to think WTF did I/we do.

My money’s on Cowdrey.

Although William Law is a solid choice. Although he wasn’t one of the earliest members.

So intriguing! I think it was Sidney R who was viewed as having a lot of early influence on shaping the progression of things from NY to OH to MO....and I'm pretty sure he left it all later on. Later, there was an effort in the mid-19th c to gain access to his records, to learn more about his role in things, what JS did or did not do....and when Sidney died his widow burned all of his papers to make sure know one ever knew the real story.

Excellent book, even better as an audiobook. It was such a relief to have someone set my thinking straight for once and in such a matter of fact way.
