I have played Devil's Advocate for this statue numerous times over the last year or so. My understanding of Roosevelt is that he was not a racist, and that the statue depicts an incredibly important aspect of his great life. He was a b

I'm convinced that none of the people who are stealing from trains in California lack food or a roof under which to sleep. However, I think they are overwhelmed with sights of the rich and glamorous while at the same time underwhelmed

This has happened before, with the Ivy League plus MIT university cartel being in real danger of complete destruction due to law suits. In those days the all the leaders in Congress and the US legal field got together to protect their elite

One German bets on nuclear while another German bets against nuclear. Time will tell which one was wise (maybe both?).

I find this idea intriguing, but who will enforce protecting the forest? All national governments resist loss of their sovereignty, and many of these governments secure financial compensation from allowing people to exploit their forests in

Certainly, but I think it's important to consider that the Prussian landed gentry did not utilize slaves as did the land owners of Jefferson's fellow Virginians. Jefferson's writing often show someone ahead of his time, but h

You're correct, but the circumstances of the first atomic attack caused significant delays for accurate information to reach the Imperial General Headquarters. The first info stated that Hiroshima was devastated in an air raid, but the

I also have a place in the rural Upper Midwest (not MI). Our community-owned electric utility has been very aggressively putting fiber out to all the farms and villages in the counties who participate in this cooperative. I thought it would

If that's the case then it would seem like this attack would be especially beneficial to the Taliban. It would put enhanced pressure on the US to withdraw while also allowing the Taliban to show Afghans a domestic enemy from whom they

I don't think people as high as US Senators face the prospect of criminal charges for most felonies. They would only be in that position if it the criminal charge was advantageous for both political parties; say if he was charged with

You make a good point, but it leaves the Taliban of late 2001 with a very narrow path to successfully complete negotiations: give up Bin Laden in cooperation with the US and then hope the ramifications from Bin Laden's people are minim

To play Devil's Advocate, didn't the US have to label the Taliban as terrorists at that time? I think given their association with Bin Laden, and the 9/11 attacks, most people in the US considered the Taliban to be terrorists

Yes it is good advice for big picture decision making. However, cutting your losses due to small bumps in the road will certainly keep success out of reach. Large orgs like the US military need some people who clearly understand that quitti

I think you got it. Pay a million dollars for a medallion, and then have the right to sit at Times Square or JFK and charge people $50 to drive them for 20 or so minute. The cabs are independent LLCs, so they're on their own for health

Traffic permit and licensing laws meet a high standard for which there is significant legal precedent. Your statement does not have a legal basis in the US or under Common Law. While we have had health tests to ender the country, we have no

You're right, those of us reviewing evidence must strive for 100% accuracy. One of the issues with the cherry blossom data is that it's difficult to be 100% sure that we can accurately keep track of the Japanese calendar 1200+ yea

That's a good point. Did Julius not have a mental disorder which caused him to lack fear? It's a good for Octavian that he got close to his great uncle while he could.

Yes, I agree. However, life is short, and you have to take advantage of every opportunity you can to impress someone like Julius Caesar. There's no guarantee that you'll have another opportunity to spend time with such a busy and

Gaius Octavius (later known as Augustus) at age of approximately 17 was able to convince his mother to let him join his great uncle Julius in Hispania. He impressed Julius so much that upon return to Rome Julius updated his will to make Oct

I can't help but imagine that Tournai and other towns during the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance years smelled of human waste, but I appreciate the lofty goal of filling modern communities with fresh air.

Indeed. Take into account the security clearance matter, and the fact that these two organizations work closely together 24/7, and this just makes sense. With whom would AWS have a closer relationship than with the DoD or DHS?

IIRC, oil and gas companies knew of the crater, but that knowledge was for many years proprietary information belonging to Mexico's state-owned oil company Pemex who paid significant money for the geological studies of the area.

They don't directly lose from Greece, Cyprus, and Israel cooperating further with each other. However, they are missing out on something they need, and this shows how Lebanon is diplomatically struggling to cooperate with other nations
