    Mark,

    Please tell me every one *except* Jimmy Carter. His is the one presidency in
    recent history that I not only admire, but the only president who I feel is, as
    the Indians described Dusenberry, "a Good man".

    Not that his presidency was without its mis-steps, and not that one can't point
    to underlying power abuse in the system, but his legacy is the only one that
    doesn't turn my stomach. Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II...
    Bleeeeech (that's my Mad Magazine sound effect), C'mon... I have to believe in
    someone! ;-)

    BTW, I will repsond to the article in the "Hurricanes, Genocide" thread you
    posted shortly. (Platt has not responded to me with a National Review
    rebuttal).
