Since I was born during the waning months of his presidency,
I have no memory of Harry Truman.
Subsequent administrations did leave memories, many of them
profound. Which president will I nominate as the biggest economic control freak failure of them all? Richard Nixon with his “wage / price controls.” Who was the most ineffective and uninspiring? Jimmy Carter.
I guess what I am hinting at is that whoever wins this
election probably won’t rock my world any more than did those who have gone
before. Once the tally sheets are in, I
will shrug my shoulders and continue to sail my charted course whether the weather
be fair or foul.
