Reply #19: Not my era

FDR, while he may have taken the wrong path, did what current Presidents are too scared to do- he took the people who were raping society and told them to keep it in the lines. I respect that kind of courage, even if I think what he did wound up being a 70 year bandaid on a problem that isn't going away.

Still, it's unreasonable of me to think that we could have gone from what we'd done since the Revolutionary War to something fair and just...but the opportunity was there, even as it is there today.
