How many more wooden hulled, wind powered ships built after the Merrimac sunk steam powered ironclads? Are you a Canadian? Man, with your strategic insight, you’d be a star at the Pentagon. Why not take the next two weeks corruption money for vinyl pants and buy him a Gerald R. Ford? Hell, he already owns one president.
