More From Edgar Allan Poe

I sometimes think we ought to bring a bill before congress changing our national symbol from the eagle to the buffalo, because we are more like the buffalo than the eagle. the eagle is a powerful bird. it flies alone. it rises up into the sky with authority. it is master of all it surveys. the eagle is an individualist and was selected from among the rest of the birds to be our symbol. but the buffalo was never alone. it always ran in a herd with other buffaloes. and, friends, i call your attention that the buffaloes are gone from the open range, but the eagles are still soaring.

Back in 1960, the paper dollar and the silver dollar both were the same value. they circulated next to each other. today? the paper dollar has lost 95% of its value, while the silver dollar is worth $34, and produced a 2-3 times rise in real value. since we left the gold standard in 1971, both gold and silver have become superior inflation hedges.

Fashion Moving Past
We believe that our truly urgent need is to make our nation secure, our economy strong and our dollar sound. for every american this matter of the sound dollar is crucial. without a sound dollar, every american family would face a renewal of inflation, an ever-increasing cost of living, the withering away of savings and life insurance policies.

One of our most important tasks will be to save future generations from a similar political fate and to maintain for ever watchful in them a knowledge of the menace of jewry. for this reason alone it is vital that the passion play be continued at oberammergau; for never has the menace of jewry been so convincingly portrayed as in this presentation of what happened in the times of the romans. there one sees in pontius pilate a roman racially and intellectually so superior, that he stands like a firm, clean rock in the middle of the whole muck and mire of jewry.
