Check these three viewpoints on looking back. 
- Edmund Burke, 18th century statesman and conservative political theorist
- Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.
- Sarah Palin, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate at the Biden-Palin debate
- Say it ain’t so, Joe, there you go again, pointing backwards again.
- Satchel Paige one of the greatest pitchers of all time
- Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you.
- Satchel Paige offers great advice for Sarah Palin.
- Edmund Burke offers great advice for you and me.
- Sarah Palin is hoping we don’t know the Burke quote.
Before you vote, think about these two questions.
- Which parts of recent history would you like to repeat?
- Why does Sarah Palin not want you to look back? Is recent history gaining on her and John McCain?

I think we should all look back and see the trends that have led us to toda’s debacle, economic and political. Maybe we could see a few things that we can learn and better understand to fix these problems!
