... guard might be nonplussed as would the personasking the question. What answer would you give the person?....
No one sees the great Oz! [unless they have a small dog and are with a lion, scarecrow, and tin woodsman ;D]
Taxes are, and always have been, a redistribution of wealth; originally to pay for the specialized things that urbanization gave us. When we no longer, all, had to farm, some could do other things… those that provided services to the Crown and the general population had to be paid… taxes collected from the folks that benefited from those services were that pay. Simple.
At the time the biggest thing was that she was a she… shooting was a guy theing at that time. Also most folks thing=k the shooting of the glass balls may have been bird shot.Forward to today; Noma Mayo, Nancy Gallager and her daughters... just the tip of the iceberg in high class competitiors in the shooting sports. 8)
willy,The other problem I have is the party leader that doesn't will his / her district. Special election in some other riding is called (where victory is assured) and the elected rep resigns so leader can win in return for a ministry of something position. Sorry if I want this I'll move to Canada... I like their beer and their style.
No. If you open up the Constitution again, the states may cede more civil liberties to the Federal government.
Yeah, that too. POWER TO THE SHEEPLE! 😉
Memory fails me, but there was a short story--19th Century I believe--explaining the origin of cooking.If I recall correctly a pig was trapped in a burning building and when the fire died this wonderfularoma spread throughout the camp....
??? This is what I was talking about.
“On every question of construction [of the Constitution] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”–Jefferson.In a word, no. Otherwise it ends up (after years of argle-bargle) like the California Const., pages of pages... nothing that does anything but confuse. Before they set about to change anything they need to understand the document as written. To accomplish that; see quote above.
The article states:"Our ancestors most probably dropped food in fire accidently. They would have found it was delicious and that set us off on a whole new direction." I wonder if that is true. Although cooking food makes it taste better to us, I wonder how we would know if it tasted better to our primitive ancestors.
Fancy a raw meat ?
I'm a student of the school of the accidental; more likely Ogg was sitting around the fire with his friends / family enjoying a raw leg of thing when (klutz that he was) he dropped said leg in the fire... it having been a long day of hunting and gathering his hunger overrulled his distaste at eating something that was all burned and smokin'. To the amusement fo f&f he ate it anyway. Likely the fact that he had less GI upsets that night had an influence... also on a cold night hot things are better to eat... the list goes on. Having figured it out (burning beff that is) could the brewing of beer be far behind?
I was pretty happy with the way the US team did and how they handled their exposure to the world stage (one exception… the nasty looks on the faces of the women's hockey team upon winning only silver >:(); terrible about the luger's death and a few glitches (natural and manmade) but in all a terrific games. Canada showed their goodness in sundry ways.
