    British Royalty

    Very fasinating people indeed. Henry was as ruthless as he needed to be to accomplish his goals, whatever they may have been. The betterment of England, the desire for a male heir, the conquest of the next beautiful woman...he was a living example of power corrupts..absolute power corrupts...

    Television Fall 2009

    In other words, not a d*&n thing worth watching. NCIS might be ok, if they don't go all soapy. sigh. Well, back to trying to figure out how to download/stream shows from Australia or England. (Rush; The Strip; Rescue Spec. Ops; Sea patrol; Ashes to Ashes; etc)

    The Libertarian Viewpoint

    It fails because of disproportionate government spending, lack of govt. oversight (note my use of the term oversight, as in not control) and skewed priorities. Three times (that I know of) we have had massive tax cuts. (Kennedy, Reagan, Bush43). All three times revenues to the govt. have...

    What has Sarah Palin actually done?

    Really? How is she evil? Ignorant as to the ways of the world? Clearly. A lightening rod for media attention? Absolutely And why is it a problem if I like her? Which, btw, I do. But liking her does not mean that I think she would be an effective President. Although I do think that if I...

    British Royalty

    Anybody study the Tudor era of British History? Its amazing how religion plays a role; how religion was used by power brokers for their own personal gain. But I'm thinking of one in particular...Lady Jane Gray. Technically, she was Queen Jane, if only for a week or so. Her story is...

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    I think Lincoln said it best when said "A House Divided against itself cannot long stand", or words to that effect.

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Without slavery, there quite possibly would have been no war. Or so many say. But I do not think it was slavery in and of itself that 'caused' (I use that term loosley), but rather the Southern States assertion that the Feds had no legal or moral right to force the South to end the practice. I...

    Who Won The War of 1812?

    Depends on how you define 'Victory'. 1. The British finally recognized American Soverignty; They figured that as long as they held Canada, the cost in blood in treasure was not worth the gains if they did win; 2. They pretty much left America to its own devices. So in the long run, the...
