Just what we need, more prophets and wise men. I think I'll
write to this jack ass and ask him to tell us who is going
to president of the USA. 


    Power unanointed may come - 
    Dominion (unsought by the free)
    And the Iron Dome,
    Stronger for stress and strain,
    Fling her huge shadow athwart the main;
    But the Founders' dream shall flee.
    Age after age has been,
    (From man's changeless heart their way they win);
    And death be busy with all who strive - 
    Death, with silent negative.

    Yea and Nay -
    Each hath his say;
    But God He keeps the middle way.
    None was by
    When He spread the sky;
    Wisdom is vain and prophecy.

			--Herman Melville
