1 Heh... somewhat amusing turn of events.  Gotta love the Internet.

I used to try to read Mead's "4 archetypes" articles once a year or so, but I don't think I'd looked them up in the last couple of years... too depressing, of late.

I'll readily confess to being a hardcore Jacksonian.  Curiously enough, I despise the name Mead has given us, because I personally believe that Jackson violated the honor attributed to Jacksonians with the Trail of Tears.  Here you had a people who were willing to adopt Jacksonian rules and honor whole cloth within a generation, and they were treated dishonorably for it.  In addition, in rebuking the Supreme Court over the matter, he violated his Oath of Office, a mortal offense to a Jacksonian.
