"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "—

mk is right on the relevent issues - has he changed his mind?
MK--I've heard that he didn't want to run either. That's why my title was, "one can only hope"! I think he'd make a great president because he's actually "been there" when it comes to military issues.
So, Charley, no, this isn't an "announcement" that he's running. I just wish he were.
Oh, MK--I didn't know his wife had social anxiety disorder. I'll definately remember her in my prayers.
"Its time we let the mantel fall on the the shoulders of the truely deserving."
I can only add--Amen and Amen!!
