RE: AFTER THE WAR

Think of a little further back than WWII. We still haven't recovered from having a democrat in office for four terms during what should have been a short recession which was milked into becoming the Great Depression. Now look at the same problem today--a democrat in office during a financial crisis.....a perfect storm of sorts.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
