president washington speaks out against large public debts, military establishment, etc.

would george washington be voting for bush? on september 17th, 1796, during his farewell address (the one where he declined to run for a third term), it seems that he "strongly warned against permanent alliances with foreign powers, large public debts, large military establishment and devices of any 'small, artful, enterprising minority' to control or change the government." go spend some time with the nice folks at working for change, you may learn something.

and while you're at it, say hello to the nice boys at fresyes. they've been doing a fabulous job. let them hear about it.
