Do No Evil – "A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds." - Mark Twain
Good article! Mentioned in the article, is the number of military bases that the USA has around the world, this is one point that I have wondered about for years! How many other countries are allowed to have bases here in America?
I don't know what the baseball card is worth, must be a lot! I have an autographed, B&W picture of Roger Maris, after he hit his 61st homerun. (don't know what it is worth!) I lived right next door to him in Raytown, Mo.
Many good points in the article! And thanks for the Mark Twain quote! One of my favorite authors!
Thanks GHOST!

"Here's a guy, I thought, who's comfortable with himself. No pretenses. No prepared speech. No notes. Just up there winging it. He knows what he wants to say and he says it. He reminded me a lot of Jimmy Stewart, the late actor. Incidentally, both Rep. Paul and Stewart were from the same great state--Pennsylvania. As a young man, the Congressman, now 72 years old, had a milk route in his home town of Green Spring, not far from Pittsburgh. One of pro baseball's legends, a member of the Hall of Fame from the Pittsburgh Pirates, was a customer of his--Honus Wagner. (1) (Do you have any idea what a Honus Wagner baseball card (T206) is worth today? Think megabucks!) Rep. Paul went on to Gettysburg College and then chose medicine as a career. He graduated from Duke University's School of Medicine."
