Kudos to Kevin Baker on his memorandum of sorts, “A Matter of State,” in defense of his home. It is a little masterpiece of philosophical eloquence, with some simple beauty on the side.

I hope someone distributes and reads this exemplar of homespun common sense to a joint session of Congress, especially around any election time.

Thank you, Mr. Baker.
