Ed you can rest assured that these guys have not read Alan Greenspan's
Autobiography, or anything written either by George Soros or Michael Moore.
*IF* they're book readers at all, they read trash produced by Hannity,
Coulter or O'Reilly. All emotion, hay8 and blame, little substance,
thought and/or historical perspective with integrity.
They'd do well to better grasp your 1-6 above, by starting w/
A. A Peoples History of the United States (Howard Zinn) or
B. slaverybyanothername,com (Douglas Blackmon)
However, most humans are creatures of emotion, concerning themselves
with fear or greed, not intellectual considerations of right, wrong.
