I never go through a checklist with my car. I don't test the brakes, the steering, or check the engine fluids/fuel etc…every time I get in. I can see that being normal in the early days of aviation.
Why?
It's the right thing to do since the union is whole and we no longer suffer the old divisions. This is a gesture of good will.
This Pope is no idiot that's for sure. He is a reformer and his words are just being scrutinized very closely because he is determined to set new precedents for the Catholic Church. I'm afraid he will make quite a few enemies through the course of his tenure.
Even if your wisdom, espoused in such private threads, could lead some lost sheep in the ways of historical and political analysis? And also, how are the historians of the 22nd century supposed to find archival material on "DonaldBaker" unless we make the information publicly available to them? 😉
My wisdom is so valuable that if I made it public, it would immediately be devalued. Just be thankful I don't levy a charge. 🙂
I'm against the idea. I think what is said in the Senate Chambers should stay in the Senate Chambers.
I believe videos are disabled right now. Probably lost the ability with the forum upgrade and or the new theme.
It might be a Gargoyle. The Church used Gargoyles to scare away evil spirits and remind the congregants that evil exists in the world…per Wikipedia of course.
The 3/5 Compromise in the Constitution formed the legal basis for slavery. The Civil War overturned that.
I can't. I can however, see them as sore losers trying to at least partially overturn the verdict of history. What I find particularly galling is the veiled threat by Virginia to lawyer up if Minnesota doesn't pony up the flag. Very post-modern of them.
There are more ways to wage a struggle. Virginia obviously is taking the war to the courts, where they should have done in the first place rather than siding with South Carolina who fired on Ft. Sumter.
How so? How exactly is Virginia the wounded party here? It is not as if Virginia was not in a state of rebellion at the time of the flag's capture.
It's their flag that their troops died trying to protect. I can see them as a wounded party.
Do you think that spoils of war are so easily purchased back by the conquered?
Keeping it only festers old wounds.
The ideal would be for Virginia to try and purchase it at some agreed upon value or agree to share it.
