Interesting Read on FDR's Second Bill of Rights.

That's why he's my favorite.

And this is whayy I think he's highly overrated, asside from teh following essentially spelling out socialism many are flawed on a more specific level:

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

The right of every family to a decent home;

The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

The right to a good education.

I have to go, but i'll be back later to go into each specifically, but I wanted everyone so see what y'all were so excited about and see if they can find the inherant flaws in each of the above "rights".
