Andrew Jackson. One of the greatest presidents in history. Gave the gov't back to the people and erased the debt. The indian stuff was a little over the top though.

Talk about a false idol, or Golden Calf. My feet are definitely made of both iron and clay, bro.

Look up his Washington inauguration, bro. Basically the party he threw trashed the White House. It was like Animal House. Would have loved to have been there.

FDR!! Franklin D. Roosevelt was also an amazing American President and figure. I believe his face should be on Mount Rushmore instead of Teddy's.

I used to dote on him in my uni days until it dawned on me he was a moral relativist. His political forensic skills are amazing. Up there with Seymour Hersh. If you haven't seen 'Manufacturing Consent,' it's worth a watch. Very interesting guy.

I also look at his contributions to Linguistics. I mean, he created the science. It is pretty amazing...

Absolutely. Good point. Maybe even a more important contribution. They still hold to this day and look better and better, or seem to hold truer. Amazing stuff right out of the box. No wonder he is seen as an academic 'superstar.' Now, there's a guy that would bust the bank at ~~Monte Carlo~~ Mensa. 'Course he's a Jew, so MattC would discount him out of hand for test inflation or skewing or some such nonsense.

Yup. I have to read him all the time and there are dozens and dozens of terms attributed to him or linked to him.

Right. Matzi=grudgingly admits his intelligence but as a 'Jew' clearly out to destroy the world...

LOL@ destroy the world. Sounds like a James Bond villain. Matty so likes to quantify the world, but as I get older (probably not wiser, tho!) I am really turning more to the beauty/ugliness that is unquantifiable, mostly the arts like music, literature, and artworks. How do you put a number on that stuff. Quantifying by IQ now seems so inadequate to measure such stuff. No wonder the Nazis rebelled against such stuff, or rather the stuff they couldn't understand, and co-opted what they thought they did.
