Quote of the Day

Warning or prediction?

“No free Government can stand without virtue in the people, and a lofty spirit of patriotism; and if the sordid feelings of mere selfishness shall usurp the place which ought to be filled by public spirit, the legislation of Congress will soon be converted into a scramble for personal and sectional advantages.” —President Andrew Jackson

    Hmmm,

    Maybe a better choice of words would have been "prophet..."

    (Hooda suspects/fears that the ghost of a Catholic Nun (with an all too real ruler) will "get him" for that grammatical slip-up...)
