The Net Worth of the U.S. Presidents: From Washington to Obama - The Atlantic



I love information like this, it gives you a great perspective on American History. President George Washington's net worth would be equivalent to $525 Million today. When you look at it like that things don't seem to be so out of control with our society. That's why it's important to know and understand your history so you can put things into context.

A Brief History of American Assassination Attempts


A Brief History of American Assassination Attempts

This is a great time line of American History. You have to learn and understand History in order not to repeat it. One thing all these assassins have in common is that they were more or less mentally ill. Rarely do you find yourself with a sophisticated intellect who happens to be a assassin. That's why it might be your right to do and say what you want but you still have to be responsible with those rights. If this time line of history does not show how outside influences can cause nut jobs to act crazy, I think we are doomed to repeat history again.
