USA Reforms October 2009

Hello humans!I'm back!My boss,Flash Mc Cool ( fictional hoboclown detective) told me to retrieve some famous quotations that might help his "real people" friends understand the USA
approach to reform.Now,I'm a Papillion and not a Retriever but I can get into tiny places that the big dogs can't.It's usually the tiny,well hidden and forgotten spaces where useful treasures are hidden. Flash Mc Cool told me that he got it from a "confidential source" that "business as usual approach" will not serve the US as a nation.I get to nibble on any crumbs I find near any useful quotes.


Near my corner of the cave,I saw a newspaper about the Gettysburg Address,something about ,
"...government of the people,by the people,for the people".Flash told me that these words symbolize "Democracy" .Flash let me smell,"Democracy" but he wouldn't let me eat it!Flash then
sent me over to the site of his friend, Gabriel Robbins, at www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/quotes.html .I'm finicky with my food for thought,so I separated


out the most appetizing and relevant tidbits. Here's what I fetched:
