The average Crow is Six Feet? Wow. Most indians I have met (especially from the Southwest) Are rather on the short side. Of course I'm 6' 4″ So most folks are short to me. 😀
This isnt the news article I had read, I cant seem to find it, but this link takes you to a civil war society page based out of the U.K.http://www.acws.co.uk/
Ahem, of course...."Tetrach" was an early Latin derivative which eventually morphed into "Tetrarch" later on through Goth and Vandal misunderstandings.....I was just taking the purer form of the words (yeah! 🙂 ).
Are you saying Donnie is an ignorent vandal? Better be careful he might come to your house and spray paint misunderstandings on your walls. 😀
As a whole My vote goes for the I/R. Like wally said it made us what we are today and I beleive it's effects are more apparent then what was left behind by the Civil War. Not Belittling the war at all, it certainly had it's effect and even so today it had changed who we are and the very course of this nation.
A few years a go I wrote a crossover between these two franchises and after I studied the technologies I really felt it was inconclusive, though I did lean a little more towards the Federation. Anyway here is my feeble attempt at SicFi:http://www.fanfiction.net/secure/live_preview.php?storyid=1088220&chapter=1
Good Point Phid, Star wars really is a whole differnt theme (when you dont consider the Sci Fi connection) It's about the life of Darth vader and good and evil, where as Star Trek is about discovery and relationships. At least those are my thoughts for what they are worth.
Wow what a find! I think it would be neat to find letters like that from any era, but when they just happen to be from an ancestor that makes them even more valuable. It's like you are getting a letter from the past.
I love both as well, But I do Lean more towards Star Trek than Star Wars. Donnie whats your favorite Star Trek series? I like the Next gen myself. By the way if you didnt know, they are comong out with a new Star Trek movie next year, a prequal, with a young Captain Kirk. Rumor is they are trying to get Matt Damon to play the part.
Terrorists? In my own opinion, yes. They did practice politically motivated violence, They were connected with the weather underground. Shootings, assassanations, bombings. Very militant. They had a 'training camp' in the santa Cruz mountians they refered to plainly as “the land”, where they trained members in hand to hand combat, the use of firearms and how to handle explosives. The kept on hand various styles of military weapons as well as c4 and dynamite (which they planned to use to break Jackson out of San Quentin) One thing, if you research Jackson at all you will over and over read about the fact that he was incarcerated at the time of his death for 11 years for taking $70 in a gas station robbery. But if they were going to tell you the rest of the story they would also tell you that once in prison he had been cited over 40 times for rule infractions including stabbing another inmate in the back. They want him to be a hero, but he was just a thug and a murderer. Here is his FBI File:http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/georgejackson.htm little long at 116 pages but it gives you the real story behind this so-called Black Panther hero.
