[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 706038, member: 2189"] I know from a contemporary POV blaming Wilson, Truman or even TR or Mckinley is often fashionable sport but once you cut through all the mythology, a lot of this stuff started with the founding fathers themselves. Even Jefferson as much as I admire some of him was very guilty in laying the groundwork even as President himself. Once you are willing to take the red/white and blue glasses off, those men even in the earliest of days were very human and often fell prey to their own desires and self interests. It's a very good lesson in life IMO of just how corrupting an influence power really is. Lord Acton was so right in that regard. jmo [/QUOTE]
