It is hilarious. PL/I must be incredibly easy if this cute blonde can handle it!
- Deestan 17y agoThe ads on the last two pages were breathtakingly horrible. It is hard to imagine how that sort of advertising could ever have been legal.
- eugenejen 17y agothat was the world before 1970. Law is just a set of Boolean functions of the society that defines the law. It was illegal in 1860 to have a half black half white president in U.S.
- anamax 17y ago> It was illegal in 1860 to have a half black half white president in U.S. No, it wasn't. Disagree? Point to the relevant part of the US constitution. (The 3/5ths clause isn't on point, and before you point to it, ask yourself who benefits from a higher number and who benefits from a lower number. Hint - slave states wanted a higher number....) There were free blacks in the US from before the revolution. The males were eligible to vote and hold office.
