From Jefferson to Jackson to Lincoln to FDR to Reagan every great president inspires enormous affection and enormous hostility. We'll all be much saner I think if we remember that history is full of surprises and things that seemed absolutely certain one day are often unimaginable the next.
If we don't make earnest moves toward real solutions then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad and yet potentially joyous state of America.
