That is exactly my point.

I took my ragtag intellect to college one day, and they asked me to write an essay about greateness. The way it was framed was: Some men, are born great, some men achieve greatness and some men have greatness thrust upon them.

Werll, that was a day of great sensimillian in my area, and I had a duty to test it before distributing it. So my response was a little awkward. But it went something like this:

Greatness is shit.. Pure poppycock. As the question relates to Abe Lincoln is meaningless. He missed an opportunity to make America great. To say he was great is a gigantic misgnomer.

Anyways, Bush has stumbled upon greatness. Dpn't be fooled by the media. We are going places. This is not an idiot in office. This is a man who has passions against socialism more stronger than uyou and I can ever imagine.

I expect Karen will disagree

I was pleased to see you post something with which I could agree. [Except, of course, for your notion that I would not agree.] It's been a long time. Probably a fluke.

politics in this country has deteriorated to the point that anybody who actually wants to run for national office should be disqualified on that basis alone.

That's pretty generally true, I think... those who want power the most are almost the last people who should hold it.

How about the HHGTTG solution?
