Will Rogers died in a plane crash in 1935.


Some of his quotes are timeless, imo

Not sure what this has to do with the election.

But there is a "shrine of the sun" in his memory in the mountains behind the zoo overlooking Colorado Springs. Its a great little shrine with an amazing view.

Forum is 2020 Elections so of course there is a thread about Will Rogers who died in 1935...

Another point sails wide of the mark!

The quotes apply as much today as they did pre-1935.......as much as things change.........thought you had a degree in history...:shrug:

Let's look at a few of the quotes.

Remember, write to your Congressman. Even if he can’t read, write to him.

Why don’t they pass a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as Prohibition did, in five years we will have the smartest people on earth.

This country is bigger than Wall Street. If they don’t believe it, show ’em the map.

We elect our Presidents, be they Republican or Democrat, then start daring ’em to make good.

It takes nerve to be a Democrat, but it takes money to be a Republican.

Republicans take care of big money, for big money takes care of them.
