The Witches Are BACK!!!!

The following excerpt was sent to me from my sister, and it certainly helps put the current election results in perspective.

From a letter from Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor,
Philadelphia in 1798:

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass
over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true
sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that
in the mean time we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring
the horrors of a war & long oppressions of enormous public debt . . .
If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience
till luck turns, & then we shall have an opportunity of winning back
the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are
the stake. Better luck, therefore, to us all; and health, happiness,
& friendly salutations to yourself. "

Well said I think. If only Kerry has been from Salem, MA instead.
