Can anyone remember what Elizabeth Edwards posted on DU
back in '04 or '05?

It quoted something about how one day the "reign of witches" will be over.
At that time it seemed like a distant dream.

If anyone can find the specific quote I think it would very appropriate for today...

1. It was this
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt...If the game runs sometime against us at home, we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."
