This author is faced with conflicting objectives. On the one
hand, I wish to offer these ideas and these arguments, without delay, to all
those who might find them helpful in the ongoing endeavor to promote and
restore Progressivism as the prevailing political ideology of the United
States. On the other hand, I believe that I am entitled to the compensation
for this project that would result from the publication and sale of a
completed book.
So this is my solution: I will present at this website, a deliberately
incomplete work. No doubt, if a publisher assigns an experienced and
capable editor to work with me, many alterations and improvements will
result. These will not be included in this online version. I
hope and expect that there will be sufficient material online to encourage the reader to
purchase the book when completed.
Accordingly, please feel free to download, print and distribute parts of
this work. But with these conditions: Include the author, title, and the
source with URL ("The Online Gadfly":
www.igc.org/gadfly/progressive/^toc.htm
). Identify the source as "a book in progress." Include the copyright notice
and the notation "with permission of the author." Finally, please notify me
of your decision to use the material at
gadfly@igc.org.
Do not, under any circumstances, download, print out and circulate the
entire book.
As always, your comments and suggestions will be welcome.
Ernest Partridge
