      From: radioactiveseattle@hotmail.com              Linked below is an interesting Associated Press piece contrasting the       world of October 1924 with the current state of our devolving       civilization--you know, comparing then-and-now prices and all that over       Jimmy Carter's lifespan.              I'm loath to term President Carter's impending centenary milestone on       Tuesday, October 1st as a "finishing line", for of course I hope he       manages to far surpass it. In any event, in less than 60 hours from       this writing he shall have endured 36,522 days* of a remarkable life and       begun seeing how his second century unfolds. May we all live that long       and leave such an ever-smiling mark on the world, WHATEVER you think of       his seriously-uneven, single-term Presidency.              Meanwhile, why didn't Carter's name ever come up when--following the       Biden/Trump debate--the Democrats were thrashing about seeking someone       experienced AND respected to replace their doddering sitting President?              Hoo nose, Carter just might have had a better chance of thwarting       Trump's ambition to become a 21st Century Grover Cleveland than Biden       ever had! After all, the 22nd Amendment is clear--Carter IS       constitutionally eligible for his OWN Cleveland-emulating second term.              BRYAN STYBLE/Florida       -----------------------       * My quickly-calculated, leap-days-included figure; feel free to correct       my arithmatic if you like.       =================       https://apnews.com/article/jimmy-carter-100-birthday-then-now-34       eff0c3bb527863dae1c6788095c81              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
