5. I never heard there was a Yacyretá dam. Had to look for a photo. It IS enormous, like the other one.

Amazing.

We need FDR back, over and over again. What a shame the Republicans realized how people love Presidents who actually help the country, and would re-elect them endlessly, and it drove them to pass legislation which would never allow a President to be elected 4 times, as FDR was, until he died. They knew then, and know now, people would NEVER want a Republican in the White House repeatedly, as they did FDR. All they've got is greed and filthy behavior, and violence.
