Subject: RE: BS: New Low in the Annals of Partisanship
Once again we run off without doing the research. And our idiotic GUEST uses it to run the usual horseshit rant. The Presidential Libraries ARE A PART OF THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES. Think of them as branches of it. They are put in various cities, usually the hometown or a major town near it, so that local scholars/interested parties can research that President's years. They are not solely complimentary to that person, rather they look at the failings and successes of the President. They provide exhibits, movies, and discussions of the life AND times of that individual. I know these things because we have such an institution in my home town.

Rant on about the individuals, that is fine. But the libraries serve an important purpose. And do your homework so your rant will make sense.

Mick, who is a bit grumpy today.
