题目: Re: Racism and Joe Wilson

GTCharlie:

Robert Byrd was a member of the KKK and he opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Of course, in this day and age he has tried (or pretended) to moderate his views. He became a senator in 1959. He was born in 1917. That makes him 92 years old. Something is very wrong when a man can remain in office for 50 years and into his ripe old age.

Well, senate reform is another topic, and a difficult one because it would involve a major rewriting of the constitution. Here in Canada it is not much better. Senators stay there until there are cobwebs on their dried up old bones!
