ANDREW OF AMERICA sez: History and Geography Important! I couldn't agree more with the gaynetter from the state of Canada who said how important it is for us Americans to know our history. Otherwise you can't appreciate how far dictators will go: *Hitler swam from his native land of Australia to become chancellor of West Germany. (Those snowy walks Pat Buchanan took in New Hampshire are nuthin" *Napolean marched all the way from France to Moscow to pass water in the loo. *Mussolini crossed the Rubicon into Rome, GA and became The Duke of Italy (I guess it was a prize, like the French giving Eudora Welty the Legion of Honor). *Buchanan was actually President before Lincoln in the 1850s. Having lost his post to the tall guy who freed the slaves from building the pyramids after Grandma Moses came down from the Mount Rushmore with the Ten Ammendments (the movie starred Charleston Hepburn). Anyway, Buchanan has been hangin' around for 140 years getting really old and mean like Bob Dole. That is why he was photographed in front of Mount Rushmore vowing revenge on the slaves by getting the nomination of the G.O.P. (Grumpy Old People). Those who forget history... ANDREW OF AMERICA ...are doomed to reap it.
