Sorry about missing your midnight deadline. I actually slept yesterday, which is a rare event. My picks are Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman. All three made strong decisions that put the country ahead of their personal and political gain. On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 8:34 PM, LRS

FDR's legacy has pretty much been fed to the economic wolves. So depending on your economic views, you may view him a great leader who used "big government" to pull us out of the Great Depressionor as a socialist who prolonged our misery by stifling the private recovery with out of control fed

REmember that Lincoln was 150 years ago. Attitudes, by and large, have changed. Even the most radical Fabian socialist of the 1860's would sound worse than a fanatic tea bagger these days. On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 11:41 AM, LRS Scout wrote: > > I'll probably see it, compare and contrast. > > Larry

Good PR. Kids rock shirts with pics of the murderer Che and wear hadji scarves to act out. A friend, a combat medic, had a kid at her son's school come as a suicide bomber. The legend and the truth aren't very close in line in this case. Do you know the story of Liberia? On Wed, Oct 31, 2012
