All I can say is somehow,"We the People" have got to get the electorate, young and old but especially the young to actually read, be taught and hopefully learn from history!joetotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-5607266890177279132010-12-19T01:48:31.554-08:002010-12-19T01:48:31.554-08:00Thank you for a great post!

It goes on to describe a woman who visited the bakers nearby her house to purchase a loaf of bread. Waiting for the shop to open, she realised she had forgotten something from home. She had with her a basket chock full of Thousand Deutschmark notes, just to purchase the one loaf of bread. Realising that the value of the money she had was virtually worthless, she placed the basket with all the money on the step out the front of the baker's shop, and went back around the corner to fetch what she had forgotten. When she returned, all the money was piled on the step. Someone had stolen the basket, and left the money behind.TonyfromOzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272988986249451458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-81202502876127307422010-12-18T18:35:57.732-08:002010-12-18T18:35:57.732-08:00@KE5WLM.
