Nixon?! Kennedy gets a pass for destroying Americas steel industry and,
along with LBJ, fomenting a war that lead to the deaths of over 50,000
American soldiers and countless Vietnamese?
How about FDR imprisoning Americans of Japanese descent and making the
private ownership of gold coins illegal? But then that leads back to Nixon
officially ending the gold standard.
Maybe we are being too myopic in trying to pick one man. Maybe it's
governance itself that is the worst idea ever.

FDR did a lot of great things overall, it seems, however, he could
have done more to stop the extermination of the Jews... Elenore herself
pleaded with him to do something and he refused...

Great things? Like what? Social Security? That was a simple Ponzi scheme
from the start and still is.
The atom bomb? Well, okay, that was pretty cool...

Bush is certainly one of the worst, if not the worse presidents...
It would be nice if Herbert Hoover was taken off the list... he was an
underrated president in my opinion... though I'd prefer if he was a
democrat... It would be interesting to learn more about Harding...

Not much. Only about 11 trillion $$$ per year.
The difference is so small that millions of Mexicans
"accidentially" cross the border to the US.

Exactly. I think we should offer Mexicans the opportunity to become a
state, or rather a group of states depending on whatever regions Mexico is
currently divided into. But I suspect that the Spanish Mexicians who
despise the natives would throw a wrench in that.

And notice that we haven't invaded them. Or Canada for that matter, which
would be about as hard to invade as Rhode Island.
But I'm serious. Mexico should become a group of new states. It would end
most of their blatant political fraud (and replace it with ours?... oh
well) and create a very small Southern border to defend.
We already offer free access for Mexicans to enter the U.S., as well as
plenty of our tax dollars to support their currency, mitigate their natural
disasters etc. TANSTAAFL. It's time they started paying taxes.
Besides, I want at least one new state to be added in my lifetime.
Oh, and Mexican chicks are hot...

I found a website in German that might have lyrics to Spanish-language
songs I'm looking for. The only problem is I can't read German. Do you
think you could help? These are obscure groups, I'm having a heck of a
time finding the lyrics. It's from a cheap mp3 site, but now I know why
the downloads are cheap - they're groups nobody has ever heard of.

What's the URL? If they're from here, I'll have probably heard of them.
