Presidents and Cities




We have been having some discussions lately about the state of affairs in the United States. I asked Al if the withdrawal from Iraq is a calculated move. Hmm...

Anyway, I was thinking of one of my favorite quotes by John Winthrop (1630):

"for we must consider that we shall be as a city on upon a hill, the eyes of the people are upon us...therefore let us choose life, that we and our seed may live; by obeying his voice and cleaving to him, for he is our life, and our prosperity."

That was our foreign policy in 1630.
