Don't worry. The history books are already full of trash.

Right now the prevaling American history texts in highschool is by Joy Hakim -- pinheaded lazy@$$ed Communist. Seriously.

If you have kids in a public school, I would recommend borrowing or buying the History of the American People by Paul Johnson. He's a great historian and this is a text that is readable for high school (assuming that your teen is open to doing a little work). It's available new and used on Amazon for about $11 and it's well worth it.

I seem to remember Cornwallis once said he'd go down in the history books for crushing the American Revolution..look what happened to him at Yorktown..(ok, ok, I gotta give credit to the French fleet hangin off the coast), but a loss is a loss is a loss..history remembers him for a far different reason..I think the Sheehadites won't even be a blurb, much less get a full sentence..

Pardon my sloth. I'm a student of American government. I'm not an American (yet!). I have some questions, but not either the ignorance or the gumption to believe that it's the President's responsibility to answer me, so I pose them to you, my fellow Freepers. While I was studying for citizenship, I read somewhere (either the constitution or the Bill of Rights, I don't remember which) that one is directed to approach Congress for redress of grievances. It seems to me that if Cindy is aggrieved about the war, she should ask her Congresspeople. She does, after all, have 2 Senators and 53 Representatives, right? So my questions are these:
- Are the CA Senators Diane Finestein and Thomas McClintock?
- If I'm correct, how did Diane vote? I'm pretty sure Senator McClintock voted to go to war.
- Does anybody know which of the Democrat luminaries in the House of Representatives represents Cindy Sheehan?

I thank you all in advance and take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the existence of this online community. For a while, I was starting to get desperate about the lack of love for this country. Obviously, I worried too soon.
