I would be startled if history failed to confirm this assessment. If we elect an exceptional leader with both ability and patriotism, this election will be discussed for generations as the most important election since 1860. If we fail, this election could very easily be considered the decisive election in the decline and fall of the United States.
As for the quality of both your thought and your writing, they are exceptional. Well done!
I went to our local City Hall yesterday to pay 2 water bills. While I was there a friend of mine from high school and I were talking about the MF Global mess and the issue of Derivatives. (he was not conversant about the subject, but had seen Corzine on TV) I told him then that we have not had such a corrupt Federal Government since Reconstruction. And that many of the ancestors of families in this town came to Texas because of that corruption. He seemed to understand, but I do not think he understood the gravity of our situation.
