Your quote of Geo Washington is worth listening to in light of today's activities: "Washington .... was... speaking of speculators in ... vital supplies [who] sold them at huge profits, while privateers would slip out of port & trade in other nations making individuals rich to the detriment of the national treasury."

Sound familiar?

What's happening in Texas this morning -- anyone getting rich down there, at the expense of the nation, and the national treasury?

"In a letter to John Augustine Washington (10/26/1778) Washington wrote:

"I would to God that one of the most atrocious ... was hung in gibbets upon a gallows five times as high as the one prepared for Haman." (Haman~In the Old Testament, a Persian minister who was hanged for plotting the destruction of the Jews.)"

You got it right, Mr. Washington.
