Those Americans, unlike ours today, believed in the beneficence of good schools. They had Lincoln as president -- who was literate, humanities literate, as his sentences redound from the King James translation of the Bible as well as from Shakespeare. This was the same Lincoln who in 1862 signed into law the Justin Morrill land grant act assuring the country of the best universities in the world.
Today, or very soon, America will have no Lincoln as president, but a convicted criminal. An adjudicated rapist. Multiple fraud. One who could degrade the nation's highest court into one egregiously taking rights away from women -- and could get that same corrupted, multiply perjured court to ending the Constitution's premises of no man above the law.

That's a GREAT comment. Thank you!
