Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. "Naturally, the common people don’t want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." – Hermann Goering. Hitler’s Reich-Marshall at the Nuremberg Trials after WWII

Well lots of things we can revisit. For starters, 1) I think coat hanger abortions (including sepsis, sterility and death)are likely to make a comeback 2)HOw about the "love it or leave it" bumper stickers 3) remember the "moral majority" and the "silent majority" 4)Vietnam and it's ability to totally divide the nation (for those of us who remember I can tell those who don't --this one wasn't fun) 5)gays--get your a$$$ back into the closet 6) women-we can all be laura bush clones-get your lobotomy here FWIW how come Christians are so into killing? Are they proud when they see what we are doing in Fallouja? I'm so dumb I thought Christians were supposed to love thy neighbor--not blast him away with depleted uranium.
