In his fumingly-temperish disagreements with Alexander
Hamilton,
Aaron Burrdock must have really had a you-know-what up his "you-know-where" to actually want to kill a fellow politician merely because said statesman had opposing political views. Too bad that the "Gentle Art Of"
book-series (i.e., verbal self-defense, self-control, etc.) wouldn't be published for another 150-plus years, or his reading up on these topics might have helped him moderate his "spiky" emotions.
