Jerusalem in the time of David (not possible now) also the sea of Galilee. I wouldnt mind wondering all over that are. Massadah would be very interesting as well.
I think that alienable rights are few and limited; other benefits are "privileges", not rights.? There is a big difference.
Good point. If you dont play by the rules, even in this country, you can lose those rights, so really privleges is a better word for it.
All the way to the Oregon coast. You can follow it along portions of the Columbia as well. Bck through north central Idaho and Montana. It's incredible now, imagine what it must have been like when it was unspoiled.
Absolutely. We in this country are never satisfied (no matter who's elected half the country is made at the results) We have a system in place that allows us to change things without violence (civil war not withstanding) I believe if we didnt we would be more like Ireland, with no choice but to use violence to make the changes we wanted. But the question is ; would we have ever acheived it?
I was born in 1970. My memories are of the end of it. The fall of the berlin wall and communisism will always stick out in my mind.
For those of you who will argue that we freed the Iraqi people from Sadam's tyranny and mass murder, I would ask how many Iraqis are dying today at Iraqi hands and are they safer than they were before the invasion?

The one thing that is common is that we are not regarded as saviors but rather as unpopular foreign invaders in both situations.
I think this is the case? no matter who is occupying who. Wouldnt we be resnetful if we were occupied by a foriegn nation?
Saving private Ryan is excellent. Speaking of casablanca I just got the two disc special edition and loved it, if your a fan you have to get it.
It kind of reminds me of bullies. People get pushed to far, and like you said, they look for anyone who will help them pushback. They picked the wrong person. But when you tell a people that are down trodden and feel they are being persicuted that they are the master race and do it with conviction, this is what you get.
I believe it's harshness set the stage for german rebellion (against the rest of the world) and WW2. I know I read something a while ago that talked about how bitter Hitler was over the treaty and it's effect on Germany.
Winston Churchill called it the first world war, and it effectivly ended french power in the americas. It certainly is one that I think is overlooked. But it is very intresting. I was thinking of the parralells with it and the Revolutionary war , and the war with mexico and the civil war. How many men fought for one side and then switched sides in the following conflict.
Obviously, other media replace the fine arts, such as TV, movies, and the internet, but there is still the opportunity for high public contact with the fine arts in public spaces.? I think that by enticing artists to create that which is demanded by the public, the public will appreciate the fine arts and there will be less controversy over their funding.
Good point, now I understand yours. I could see how something like that could swing more intrest back to the arts.
