Remembering "History"

I remember sitting in my h.s. American History class listening to my teacher (who incidentally went to our church) talking to us about the public demonstrations by students overseas. She was of the opinion that  they're doing the right thing and that American college students don't have interest enough or gumption to do that.

Along came Kent State and I wondered what she thought.
Now the problem isn't Viet Nam...it's the economy. The phrase during the Clinton race was "It's the economy, stupid".....Talk about a phrase coming back to haunt! Wall Street was bouncing back before the Clintons had time to try out their new home. Bush Sr. said it would straighten itself out and lo and behold it did! The budget took help.

Some have actually had to live within a budget - do without when necessary -  to make ends meet.  They should be very concerned about the government spending. But - apparently, some are more party oriented (Democrat) rather than logical and clear sighted. They are like children following the Pied Piper. Do they not know that someone can be charming and not be wise or trustworthy? Most people know what it's like to want to trust someone. It's human, so in that respect, I can understand.
