LOL...I knew I didn't have to convince you! ;-)

The question in my mind for years has been 'when will we reach critical mass'---having educated enough Americans about the historical, the moral, the economic and the political reasons that we should do this---to actually create the political tsunami it would take to force the politicians to go along...giving up their most potent weapon for gaining and keeping power.

We have made huge strides in recent years within the GOP...we have virtually won the argument. But I doubt we have quite made the case yet to the American electorate. This is not a sound-bite issue.

However, if the President would truly use the bully pulpit and his vast political capital to finish the educational job, we could get there very, very quickly...and the end result would be what others on this thread have said...April 15th would be just another spring day, and George W. Bush would go down in history as one of the greatest of our Presidents.
