Not really; guns shouldn't be an issue at all. We all have the natural right to protect our life liberty and property, the @nd is a right of the people… you and me; end of story.The only reason we have a Bill of Rights is to remind the gov't that it is their job to protect same. Given that the Federalists thought no one would ever forget this they didn't think the B of R necessary.... WRONG! Thankfully the Anti-Feds prevailed: these are such important rights they needed to be set out as a separate part of the Constitution so all can see that both Feds and Anti-Feds meant these to be observed and preserved forever and for all.
First it was slavery, then it was alcohol, and now it is abortion. America will always seek out issues to divide itself.
You forgot gun control... my personal hot button issue. I'm the NRA and I vote!

Might have been copied from one of the Chinese maps that was supposed to have been made on the grand world voyage of 1421.
According to what I've seen the Hittites worked their way SE from Asia Minor (somewhere in Turkey) capturing Babylon c. 1595 BC; the Hyksos were being run out of Egypt about the same time (mid 1500's BC) by Ahmose of Thebes. He also captured the Hyksos homeland (said to be south of modern Syria).Horses, chariots, and advanced weapons is a common thread though. Being the same group seems unlikely to me.
What made Cyrus "great"? I think....
Don't forget he came to power leading a revolt against the Medes that had ruled the Persians for 150 years or so. Heroic beginning to the Persian Empire plus all the good things you listed. Yup, he earned the Great moniker.
+1 to all of the above. Don't forget though that the Spanish found several tributary tribes that were ready allies against the Aztecs.Wally
Gets all balled up; our Founders were very liberal at that time… George III and Co., the conservatives (pro status-quo).Given today that Teddy, Diane, Chucky and the rest of The Hillary Crew are seeking to keep their Nanny Gov't. trend going they are the conservatives and the folks that mean for us to have a gov't that isn't in our lives soooo much would be liberals.Depnds on where you stand.
Be thankful then you're not Canadian; T'giving is the second Monday in October [at least since 1957], eh?Cheers of that day and this,Wally
