"It's the Economy Stupid!"
"I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me, and the financial institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in my rear is my greatest foe." -Abraham Lincoln
"You are a den of thieves and vipers, and I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out." -President Andrew Jackson to the bankers in 1835
By 1836 Andrew Jackson had successfully killed the Second Bank of the United States and in only two years (by January 8, 1838) he paid off the entire national debt. When he was asked what his most important accomplishment had been, he stated without hesitation, "I killed the bank."
On June 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy (executive order 11110) declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business.

November's Election
General Comments, opinions, and questions on the upcoming November 2008 election. Are you registered to vote? (11th Congressional, 38th State Senate, 75th State Representative, 13th Judicial)
"There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false. I believe that these assertions still make sense and do still apply to the exploration of reality through art. So as a writer I stand by them but as a citizen I cannot. As a citizen I must ask: What is true? What is false?" - Harold Pinter; The Nobel Prize in Literature 2005.
