I find some things about Ben Frank to be very inspiring. Other things -- like the blatant racism and sexist portions of this book -- I wasn't so into. I know he lived in his times and all of that good b.s., but I still don't have to like it when someone writes something fucked up, be it last year or 300 years ago. I think the best part of Mr. Franklin is his 13 Virtues (which I want to paint on my wall) and the fact that he describes my city in very good detail. Philly is a wonder!
