RE: AFTER THE WAR

Think of a little further back than WWII. We still haven't recovered from having a democrat in office for four terms during what should have been a short recession which was milked into becoming the Great Depression. Now look at the same problem today--a democrat in office during a financial crisis.....a perfect storm of sorts.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
