Poor Ben (rather than " POOR RICHARD ",don'tcha know.), his words have been usurped, misused, and used to mean something they were NEVER meant to .

Tell me, did you knows, PERSONALLY KNOW, anyone who was murdered on 9/11 ? I DID!

Please enlighten us to what they were supposed to mean then.

For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.

If you are able to divine the words of 'Poor Richard' from something other than the written word, could you tell us? I always assumed the men of that time meant what they said. Surely if the numerous generations since the Founding Fathers had known that they should have looked for double-entendres over the years, this nation of states may have been run much differently. Perhaps we were supposed to worship a king as Hamilton suggested.

If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
