Sorry, I wasn't paying much attention. I just saw a Machiavelli
reference and responded with, in my opinion, the better of the
two books. The Prince and The Discourses tend to be polar
opposites with The Prince being the more famous of the two.
Given the long Newsgroups: line and Machiavellian relevance I
doubt I could be of any more use on this particular branch of
this particular thread so I will leave it at that, having made
what little point I intended to make.
