Things in the scheme of things don't change very much....Lincoln was elected when he was 52...so it took him a lot of time to work things out...it is a matter of perspective and paying attention to those details as you go along..working things out one piece at a time making sense of each and everyone...
Ii wouldn't count Linoln out today..
