Outstanding. Some republicans have even been saying lately stuff like 'there's no need for the Supreme Court.' That's seriously messed up. I too love history. I learn more about today from reading history & watching documentaries than I do from watching the endless conflicts of cable tv 'news.'

In this country, as in most, progress occurs when good people vote. When good people don't vote, things regress. And if we can learn anything from history it's that no matter how bad you think things are now, they can get much worse if you don't exercise your right to vote. Use it or lose it!
