Thread: Rulers vs. Leaders

I appreciate your honesty and will keep that in mind for the future. I was on an entirely different wave length. In other words, I was thinking like a Canadian. Aware of your history, but not how it feels to you. Anyway, enough said. Take care and I'll see you around.

The union boss of PATCO got jail time too if IRC.

CR, Perhaps you should know that Americans fought a revolutionary war to free ourselves of rule by a monarch, we thus are very sensative to any suggestion of such rule. As a matter of fact it really makes us angry.

Very wealthy people all of them. Aren't they? And your point is? Most of them were lawyers, so yeah, they had money, Kennedy came from a rich family, bootleggers they were.

Being elected at the ballot box has nothing to do with the difference between a leader and a ruler. George Washington was a leader. Barack...

The President is both Chief of State and Head of Government. In Canada the Prime Minister is Head of Government, the Soveregn-Queen Elizabeth II at present-is the Chief of State, and is represented in Canada by the Governor General. In the Third Republic in France the President of the Republic was Chief of State and limited to "meeting and greeing" as they used to say, the Premier was Head of Government. The 5th...

Milt, thanks for reminding about that 48 hour grace period thing. I'd forgotten all about that. And not that Bubba's recension matter all that much, because I think most of them were close to retirement age by that point.
