Our system continues to work even if some of the situations look out of whack. We are lucky to have produced men like Theodore Roosevelt, and the intellect of those people of old continues to amaze me.

October 13, 1912: Three and a half years after he left office, Roosevelt was running for President as a member of the Bull Moose Party. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, John F. Schrank, a saloon-keeper from New York, shot Roosevelt once with a .38 caliber revolver. A 50-page speech folded over twice in Roosevelt's breast pocket

I think if Lincoln had just found a way to assure blacks the right to vote, then they would've elected Republican legislatures who would've ratified an amendment to end slavery...

instead of light would not glory be preferable and instead of righteousness of humans the righteousness of christ-mr president?

Looking over Roosevelt's ideology I am inclined to agree. However, Nader is the same way (with intervention into food markets and such). Is it odd that I consider Nader to be close to Ron Paul? Both are against the bail outs, foreign interventionism (mostly), and things like the Patriot Act. I think TR would be to on the first and last. Teddy was odd on foreign policy in that there were times he was interventionist and times he was not. He did lose a medal for criticizing the occupation of Cuba.

3: South Carolinians fired warning shots at Union soldiers that refused to leave fort Sumner which was in their territory after repeatedly asking them to leave. Not a single person was killed.

Union fired the first lethal shot. Over property damage.

How many people were killed? =p
