Did I say somewhere that I had lost the ability to see in color or even shades of gray? Not that I remember.

Golly gee. Good and bad happened during Nixon's terms in office, tell you what. I'll start naming all the good things, the Nixon supporters must chime in with an equal number of bad...... okay...go:
the opening of direct relations with the People's Republic of China.
the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.
the institution of wage and price controls to combat inflation.
Henry Kissinger (The Early Years)

Hey, this is fun.
PS: I love yu, HelenofTroy, and I know subversion when I see it. Packing the court has to be the most egregiously transparent attempt in history, it was crude, clumsy and a failure, but, as Foxfyre might say, other things went rather better in FDR's three and half terms, but not good enough for the American people to trust another President with four, or even three terms. If we had we might have had Ronald Reagan in his third term in the midst of his tragic, tragic illness. So lucky us.
PSSs: and I don't think I was being particularly hard on Richard Nixon, I wondered what would happen if I made a face or two at a conservative demi-god and what happened was what I thought would happen: those who see things only in black and white try to make the claim that I am afflicted with the same kind of bi-opia. I'm not, but they think if they make the claim
first, then it's true. Kind of a good trick, Huh?
