[Rhodes22-list] Weekend reading, not sailing, some might call it political, just educational

[Tootle]

I get all sorts of emails, this web site was contained in one:

And some so called political rhetoric:  "Let's switch gears here for a
second. Apparently Dick Cheney, in a closed door Senate GOP lunch on
Wednesday, warned the GOP, quote, that it will be Herbert Hoover time if aid
to the industry was rejected for the bailout of the big three. This is
exactly the same kind of stuff that they were saying about the bank bailout,
but now they're saying it about GM. What do you think about what's going on
right now,?' [Glen Beck]

Reply to question: "Well, I think there's no end to this bailout. It's
bailout without end. We need to find a way to bailout from the bailout and
actually, with respect to Dick Cheney, I think he's got it actually wrong
here. You know, it's very interesting to me, speaking as a foreigner, but
the Americans always talk about the great depression. In other countries,
they talk about it as a depression. It started in 1929, the worst was over
in three or four years. What prolonged it in the United States was both
Herbert Hoover and FDR over in overinterfering in the economy to impede
recovery. That's why it's a great depression in the United States and it's
just a depression everywhere else." Mark Steyn

addendum:  "Sextant: an entertaining, albeit expensive, device, which,
together with a good atlas, is of use in introducing the boatman to many
interesting areas on the earth's surface which he and his craft are not
within 1,000 nautical miles of." Beard and McKie
