I really wanted to enjoy Obama as the first black president. He's making it very difficult though. His answer to everything is more government more government and yes you guessed it, more government. 🙁
I hope you're right, but all the polls still show a fairly even split. Not much has changed since '08.
Obama isn't done pissing people off either. 🙂
The Civil War and Vietnam are the two biggest scars on this nation. Their impact will never not be felt so long as this nation endures. They remain the two best examples of how divided this nation can be. 911 is the third biggest scar, but it served more to unite than divide, but it's impact will never be forgotten either.
Did Hannibal make a mistake by crossing the Alps?
No, he kept the war on Roman soil for the better part of 15 years. It's probably the reason the war lasted so long.
I don't think that is Frances Willard. I couldn't find that pic in any of the Google images I looked at, and those I saw didn't resemble this pic at all. I could be wrong..... So I'm stumped.
So am I but several of the pics I found appeared to be similar... shape of jaw bone, ear, mouth, and nose. Might be that I just spent too many years ID'ing yearbook photos though. ::)
You might be right Wally, I don't know. I only went a couple of pages into Google images. I maybe should have kept on going.
Or you can go to your library, login to the computer and search under authors. If that doesn't work, you then can go to your friendly librarian and ask him or her to locate Paine's collections via interlibrary loan and see if they can be checked out. I suspect this is easier than it seems.
Obama would do nothing. Biden might go to war, but we'll never know about him. I'm not sure a war would be in our best interest. We could probably keep China off of Japan and Taiwan with our superior navy, but China would take it nuclear anyway, so what would we gain?
I tried Jane Addams, Abigail Adams, Susan B. Anthony, Betsy Ross, Lucy Stone etc... and of course none of them look like the woman in this pic. So I'm stumped.
Betsy Ross? I checked, and she died in 1836, two years before the first photo of a person was made! Actually, she lived much closer to the time of the first cameras than I originally thought.
Obviously this isn't my area. 🙂
Hannibal used his cavalry to flank and assault the slow footed Romans. The elephants might have been used but not in any decisive way.
After further research I realize you are correct. Kennedy proposed a Civil Rights Bill in 1963 and it was not passed before his death and LBJ pressed for it after his assassination. The funny thing about the bill is that a northern Democrat sponsored it while a block of southern Democrats filibustered the bill. There was plenty of Republican support all along. Researching this was eye opening, I have never really delved too deep into the history of the Civil Rights movement and it is interesting to see who the movers and shakers were and more importantly that where a person was from had much more to do with dtermining their support for civil rights than party affiliation.
I could have "abused" you on this like I got "abused" on Genghis Khan. LOL 🙂

Yeah I generally like WordPress and have built two sites with it thus far, but I have heard really good things about Drupal and have done some testing on it in the past. For my GA site, I just need something relatively static because I don't have to keep adding pages. But I'll still probably go with WP for that anyway.Oh, and I have tried to direct some traffic to WCF from GA, and I think it has worked to a degree thus far.
I think compiling bibliographic data, articles on the GA, and other informative things will get visitors.
His death did kick off the civil rights movement in earnest though.
How so? That is a new one, I have not heard that claim before.
Kennedy made it no secret he advocated civil rights legislation and wanted to be the president that got it done. He never got the chance to do what he wanted and so LBJ took up the cause knowing it was what Kennedy wanted. Had Kennedy lived, he might not have been very effective in getting his civil rights legislation pushed through because many in Congress were still afraid to make the first move. JFK's death changed the atmosphere and MLK's death put it over the top.
