It might not be a bad idea to do that. Maybe we should... we have spoken of the President leading by example, maybe we should have the candidates take refresher courses in American History, Civics - with special emphasis on the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, Georgraphy and last but not least economics.

While we are at it, we should have all candidates who are running for public office take the same course, with special emphasis on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I have a dream... that someday in America we will have politicians who are REALLY working for the people and not lining their own pocket. Sighhhhhhhhhh, dream on Dixie!

Samuel Langhorn Clemens, who died in 1876, wrote "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctively native American criminal class except Congress."

And you know, things haven't changed that much since Mark Twain's day. So it may be a while.

Hi, dixie, my friend,

Sorry to hear of your troubles across the border in the other Carolina. (No offense meant from your larger neighbor. I have my great-grandmother's personal account of fleeing Columbia when the Bluebellies captured and burned it.)

Regarding your comment about a better breed of politicians, click the second link below, and let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Congressman Billybob
