MAY 31, 2007 --   

Heard you mention, chatting with James Cramer on WFAN's "It's Not Imus in the Morning", today, that our Founders were concerned about factions more than
political parties and your belief that current ills derive more from factions, today, than from the political parties.

One source for your view that factions are art the root of our ills might be traced to The Federalist Papers. 

Urge that you take a look at the first half of Federalist 57, then take note of credit card practices, gas prices -- those kind of things. 

If you agree aggrandizing was  another social problem noted by the Founders, please say so, loud and clear as you can.
