RE: Food for thought! Abraham Lincoln Today
I thought about that too, Bill, I don't know if anyone but his father thought that. It seems his father thought Lincoln's love of reading was because he was lazy. I think Lincoln thought that using his mind was a far better way to get ahead than farming. What's ironic is that as President, he said he was much happier as a boy when he dug potatoes for 25 cents a day.
