I just watched a channel 9 program about women suffrage in the US. The
idea that women should have the right to vote had to be submitted to
Congress in every session for 45 years before it became a reality. Let's
try to not get too frustrated because our efforts do not result in
immediate success. Time is on our side.

Dear Mike;
You're right time is on our side. With enough "global warming" the tides will rise enough to drown all the rats in Washington.
To paraphrase the old saying time and tide wait for no man or woman. So if we don't have the time we do have the tides of time.

Mike
but on the other hand, Mr.
Denny, the Reverend Doctor
Martin Luther King Jr. said that
" time changes nothing." You
can wait for tomorrow to change
things forever. Yes, the battle
may have to be fought for a
very long time but the battle
must be taken to the enemies
of Liberty today, and not put off
for tomorrow.
And yes Derek, on the
essentials of peace and war,
freedom, security, and human
nature;, the wisdom of 1789
and 1797, GW1's retirement
speach, not to mention 1832,
De Toquevilles Democracy in
America, are as fresh today as
the day they were written. I wish
I could dig up GW1 for just one
day to have Tthe Last Word,
with oh so much class,in the No
Spin Zone, and maybe a few
chuckles with Letterman. I
wonder what Paul Schaeffer
would play when he walked in
and put his hat on the desk and
shook the powder out of his
wig, adjusting his wooden teeth
and reaching acroass the desk
to shake Dave's hand. But, as
Bill Bonner Says, the dead get
no respect. they don't go on
Letterman, no one reads thier
blogs. But Ron Paul gets it. He
says it right on the first page of
his website. Human Nature is
immortal.
The biggest proponents of "
things are different now" and
"the Constitution is therefore
irrevelent" are the big
government leftists, the neo con
Commies, and of course Nancy
Pelosi's immortal hero, the
greatest spinmeister in the
history of mass media, the
Sultan of Socialism, the griinch
that stole Gold, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, who destroyed the
Constitutions limits on the
power of the Presidency, built
the nations second gulag of
concentration camps, and kept
the great Depression going for
eight long years after his
inaguaration, and somehow
spun that dismal record into
being Ms Pelosi's hero of the
common man, the man who
ignored the holocast, denied
visa's to all but the most
connected Jews, and spun that
into being a friend of the Jews,.
Your in good company, Derek,
there with FDR and GWB in
the" things are different since
1929 or 911" crowd.
I will ake Ron Paul over FDR
anyday.
and as somewhat related aside
....
In fact the most immortal thing
in this whole world, longer lived
than the oldest rocks, and
perhaps older than the earth
itself, is the genetic code of the
histone molecule, the backbone
protein of DNA..The code is
unchanged in blue green algae,
wierd bacteria that live at 700
hundred degrees farenheit in
rocks miles below the surface,
lobsters, Republicans, and yes,
even Greens.
Most liberals
think the
economy would be
fine and the
deficit go away
if the Bush tax
cuts were
eliminated and
the cap on
Social Security
taxes was
lifted. Could
someone point to
data that
indicates that
these tax raises
would actually
cut federal
revenue as they
elicit much tax
avoidance
behavior, and
stall the
economy,
and as a related
question, have
the tax cuts
actually cut
revenue or are
revenues in fact
at record
levels. Derek,
especially could
you help on
this.
