About 400 elementary- and middle-school students taking part in the Shenendehowa Inventors program will display their inventions at the former Cotton Market store at Clifton Park Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
And also, a history lesson, since the op-ed writer mentions 1908.
At that time, the Republican President was a guy named Theodore Roosevelt, a progressive who created many of New York's beautiful state parks and is responsible for several of a natural parks. In that election year, he endorsed his vice president, William Howard Taft.
Four years later, Teddy was back to run for President again, this time in the Progressive Party because Taft had completely screwed everything up. The resulting split of the vote resulted in Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, who lead us to victory in World War I and who's propsal for a League of Nations was ahead of it's time, and, had it been created according his plan and not stonewalled by isolationist conservatives such as yourself, would have prevented the Second World War from breaking out.
Stay out of present matters if you don't know your history. Which, by the way, was made in the recent Democratic Primary in the 21st, and will be made again when Barack Obama is elected our 44th President. Peace!
Great work, Gazette. Your main competitor did not see fit to mention the entire slate of announced Democratic candidates. Thank you for being an independent, comprehensive voice for Democratic voters.
