The voter rolls in Detroit would beg to differ.

Hockey Ref, I will agree with you on the humanity and humility of Jimmy Carter since he left office. More than almost any President in our history, he has used his position for good and to make the world better, while also not enrichenning himself or his family in the process (save for Billy Beer). With that being said, I just wish he had stayed in Georgia as the governor way back then and kept his niceness for the Peach state, and not the world at large. In most ways, we are in deja-vu all over again today, but the person in charge makes Billy Carter look like a mensa member. As Chuck mentions, learn from history or you are bound to repeat it.
Politics aside, we need more Jimmy Carter's in the world, and a lot less of a few others who care about their own selfish gains. While I do not agree with your view of things necessarily, that is ok as 'to each their own' and I do my best to be respectful of that. Why is being 'nice' such a terrible attribute? I heartily agree you need a person of strength in positions of power, I get that...but sorry, I don't particularly care for the Putins of the world and others like him. Nope. God help the people of Ukraine. I am heartened by their stand they are taking.
Ok, am really done talking politics here...I do not wish to engage; given a recent heart thing going on, I just can't do it. Going to these games is enough!!
