Our history teachers tell us here in the States he was trying to bail our country out of economic collapse and, of course the Great Depression was a nasty time for us here in the states…(FYI we do refer to ourselves as Americans but that’s not my point). Personally, all his good intensions aside, FDR ended up being the father of American social ism, of which the cost to this country makes the Great Depression look like a bargain. But hey there is a whole new thread!
My point is this, it’s a nice debate and everyone has gotten delightfully indignant and all but THEY ARE ALL STILL DEAD. And tomorrow more people will die somewhere else…so it goes. We can ban every gun on the planet and it won’t change a thing.
