Another Thing About Lincoln...

They don't shine too big a light on it, but Lincoln was basically self educated.  I almost can't fathom a person in today's America being self-educated, much less being able to rise to the President of the United States.  And much less rising to being the greatest President of all time.  I find this notion a tad troubling...like maybe the structures of our institutions are faulty.  Perhaps we overly focus on credentials.
