tomtuttle,

I understand, and often share your sentiments. It grieves me greatly to see that the art of writing is all but completely lost with current generations, especially with my own and those younger than it.

Just a couple days ago, I was reading Lincoln's Gettysburg Address -- Nov. 19th was the speech's 140th anniversary -- and I'm pretty certain we will not see so few words with so much power, emotion, and meaning in them in the foreseeable future -- especially from any US leaders. (You have to admit that's a fact whether or not you like Bush.)
