people don't talk like this anymore...

"Justice among the nations of mankind, and the uplifting of humanity, can be brought about only by those strong and daring men who with wisdom love peace, but who love righteousness more than peace."

- Theodore Roosevelt

this is one of the reasons why history is such a relevant discipline, why we ought to study the past - because some of the great men of this nation, and this world, see things so much more clearly than we do today. and in seeing so, are not afraid to tell others.

Ah good old Teddy, we could really use him right about now. He would punch Obama in the jaw and nail McCain with his stick. Then he would burn down wall street and give the media the finger. Sigh...
