I think that was said just before "How about going to the theatre tonight?" :-)

What's interesting about Lincoln is he didn't even have a formal education.

He was a republican, and pragmatic.

Jarasan, I know he ran as a Republican, probably because he wouldn't have been able to win the presidential election on the Whig ticket. He was a Whig for longer than he was a Republican. In any case, he said a lot of memorable words that have been quoted throughout history. Since this blog was written about happiness, I'll smile and say "Don't worry, be happy." However, Lincoln has been given way too much credit. I wonder how history will remember our current president. The 2 have many similarities. They both started unnecessary wars for their own political gain.

Yeah JX you're right they are similar, Lincoln freed about a million people, and Bush freed about 50 million people. One of the unfortunate outcomes of those political gains wars.
