Joshua Dolezal,

The Pox- the Vox? They did alright in the 1780s when ( incident in American Nations book by Woodard ) the people shafted by the scheme to deflate the revolutionary war payments in bonds, which then were concentrated in the hands of a ve r y few well connected District of Columbia Seventh Sons, in 178x rose up in force to burglarize Philadelphia, if I remember arightly from chapter 2 from Woodard's Am'can Nations book. But were persuaded by being allowed to camp outside Philly that the new nation had might on its side. With then the exact similar thing happening when the alcohol taxes hurt everybody in the appalachias bequests to their grandchildren, in the 1790's George Washington had to threaten to cut their thro a ts as traitors, historically that is correct? Hard knocks beats alcoholic ideaology in those, and maybe our modern instance. I submit that what we are missing is that a unified foreign policy from a nation spanning a continent necssrly expresses opposites, in one way of saying it that Jane Fonda is preternaturally a relief valve of our body politic. She expressed our national Oops, sorry, to Whom it may concern in a way that we are doomed to do without.
