This has to be the craziest case I've heard of yet…oh wait, the “twinkie defense” ranks first probably. Anyway, I agree; delving into the documents would be a dream for me. I'm soooo interested in the Templars.
All of you gentlemen are correct; tolerance is best. I really enjoy this forum because I'm allowed to post ideas, opinions, etc. without others “pouncing” on me if I'm wrong. With this being my first year as a History major, I admit I am definitely NOT at the same level of education as the majority of posters here.
Oh thank God, I thought the problem was simply me. Each and every post I've had to reread a few times to figure out what he's saying and then I sometimes give up. Some of his posts have really disturbed me because he doesn't write in a fluid manner so reading them are a bit 'trying', imo. Anyway, nice to know that I'm safe in how I feel when I see his posts.
Any citizen unwilling to bear arms is not a citizen.
While I agree with much of what you say philosophically (I say as one who possesses a concealed carry permit), the argument that a refusal to bear arms should deny citizenship is better suited for a citizenry not founded on the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thank you for this comment as I've been biting my tongue or better yet, sitting on my hands so I wouldn't type a similar reply.
I do love Elvis and I've lost count how many times I've watched on DVD the 1968 & 1972 performances. Fortunately, my husband & teenage daughters are fans, also. Each of us have our favorite songs. Sadly, Elvis is a perfect example of how the music industry in its infancy took advantage of the performers. And yes, a game of Elvis trivia is right up my alley, per se. ;D My co-worker and I listen to satellite radio at work and test one another whenever one of his songs is played...lol
Pretty interesting, imo. I'd like to correct the caption of the photo in newspaper article as it's labeled the year 1968. The photo used in the article would have been his "Aloha from Hawaii" performance around 1972. In 1968, he performed his comeback show on TV featuring him in his famous black leather outfit in a more intimate setting performing accoustically with the "Memphis mob".
I've been seriously out of the loop here for awhile. My youngest daughter is playing for a couple of fastpitch softball travel teams and my oldest daughter is getting ready for her first year of college so life has been a bit busy around my house. Sometimes, I look forward to winter because our “softball life” slows down to a few weeks of indoor ball before Christmas then stops completely until March of the following year. No summer classes for me, currently, and I feel guilty but with my girls and their activities, my full-time job and helping my dad take care of my mom who suffers with alzheimers....ugh, I'm a tad worn out. I am looking forward to my fall classes, though, and giving my brain a good "work-out".Have a good one & enjoy everyone...
Those jokes on “He-haw”…we Hoosiers got them too. And I identified with standing in cornfields. Detasseling corn was a rite of passage as a first job for teenagers in the 70's. The job was hard work and long hours but it was decent pay for kid at that time.
My family watched the Carol Burnett every week. Dad loved the skits with Tim Conway & Harvey Korman together. Both were excellent comedians in their own right but together, they were brilliant. The best skit ever on that show was the “Gone With the Wind” moment which didn't have Tim in it, but Harvey & Carol were something else! Fortunately or unfortunately I remember the show, “Laugh-In” so, all those wonderful shows of the 60's & 70's I miss tremendously.
