Most of the people in the USA should read this, and then be tested on what they learned. This is one of best editorial pieces I have read in a long time.

I hope you succeed. I think you have two choices (but I recommend you do your own research to validate or disprove my opinion), both predicated in copyright law. One choice would be to get permission from the copyright holder. I suggest you use the link to the original article above to start identifying the copyright holder. The other choice would be to write an original letter citing major chunks of Mr's Reese's piece. You'll have to look up guidelines for how much you can cite without violating copyright. Good luck! Christopher Ken, thanks for your quest. I hope you succeed.

Then comes the question, with whom should these new candidates agree? Which flavor of "right" and "good government" should they support? Should they be strict-constructionists? Should they come from a particular religious or moral viewpoint, and if so, which one? Should they have military experience? What education should they have? Should each of them have demonstrated their understanding of the difference between policy and operations, between strategy and tactics, and between leadership and micromanagement? Should they have demonstrated their skills in working together to develop a wise decision, and to build a responsible budget to support the decision? Where would we find these untainted but experienced, idealistic statesmen? It is irresponsible to call for drastic change, until we have built the solution. Previous crises have shown that the US Constitution has framed for us a resilient government that can be changed when enough people build the political will. To accomplish a worthwhile and lasting solution, we need, beginning with renewed civics and leadership training in the public schools, to start building that solution in the next generation of Americans. Anything less strategic and fundamental will merely lead to yet another political and economic debacle, and will create an even worse mess (and 545 more rascals) for the next generation.

Mr. Reese has an interesting political point of view, as explained in his Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charley_Reese

That's a good clue. Anyone else able to find a more specific reference? I'm a little surprised the Orlando Sentinel Star doesn't have a catalog or archive.
