“Teddy” Roosevelt said a lot of bad things – but he was all-over-the-place in his thinking (he was not really a total state person – one could never know where his butterfly mind would go).

Woodrow “The State” Wilson was a total state person – as is clear not just from his own works (and what he tried to do), but also from the work of his “other self” Colonel House – “Philip Dru: Adminstrator”.

The irony is that Woodrow Wilson was a racist (he pushed “Birth of a Nation”, the revival of the KKK in the 20th century was his doing) – and yet his work (the work of “fundementally transforming” American to slavery, sorry to the “New Freedom”) is being completed by a black man, Barack Obama.

Woodrow Wilson would not even use the same toilet as Barack Obama (Wilson was the President who insisted that black and white Federal government employees use different toilets – no previous President had done this), yet his evil work is being completed by a black person.

History is laughing.

I think I’ll have a nice cup of hemlock tea to soothe my nerves. :>)

However, it is a vile year as far as the United States is concerned.

What’s a pillar box?

Unlike France someone (if they wished) could leave all their money and property to their daughters (“cutting off” their sons).

Also in England and Wales – women who paid the rates (the local property tax) had the vote for local Poor Law Guardians from 1834 and for local councils from 1835.

Yet, even in 1912, they did not have the vote for Parliament.

However, this is partly bacause the leftist element in the “votes for women” movement hated the idea of just women who paid tax having the vote for Parliament – as they believed this would benefit the Conservative party.

On the unions – and the strike-threat-system (as W.H. Hutt called it).

There negative effects on gender (and racial) matters go back a long way.

Even in the, late, Middle Ages it was the GUILDS that pushed women out of so many occupations.

Many women were forced to become servants (or even prosititutes) because so many other trades were effectively closed to them.

The idea that the unions are the friends of women is a modern myth.

I apologise for the confusion I seem to have caused. I thought the word “1912″, the old-fashioned type face on the graphic and my reference to events “a century ago” would be sufficient.

Wrong, Crozier. Wrong.
