Athens, GA
 
Is the Jimmy Carter presidential library in Athens? I was wondering what people think of it. I figure there must a peanut display and probably cans of Billy beer for sale there. Are there any pictures of Jimmy and Fidel Castro together? <BR><BR>Pardon me, I'm feeling a terrible malaise coming over me ...

What happened the time he was "attacked" by a ferocious bunny rabbit? Does anyone remember that story.

The Jimmy Carter Center (and library) is not in Athens, GA. It is in Atlanta. I thought it was very interesting--in addition to a beautiful facility and garden area, there was much to learn about Jimmy Carter, especially his contributions to the Middle East peace process and his presidency.<BR>Check it out for yourself:<BR>http://www.cartercenter.org/

<BR><BR>In case you hadn't heard, Jimmy Carter just won the Nobel Peace prize. His dedication to peace while president and after his presidency--as well as his involvement in Habitat for Humanity--is in marked contrast to the activities of other former presidents.

It's also in marked contrast to the current president.

to: Jim Not work.<BR>Mr. Carter has probably done more good in the last 5 minutes than you have done to date and will do in the future.<BR>Just because he raised peanuts does not mean he thinks like one, and people who don't raise them do indeed think like peanuts, i.e. they are in a persistent vegetative state although ambulatory.<BR><BR>Why in the world would you harbor the idea that the Carter Library was in Athens? It is a little east of downtown Atlanta, in case you really wanted to know. (Which I doubt.)<BR>
