  1. Were we perfect; no. But it was a path. We got to where we are today because of it. There were many reasons the framers let slavery exist within the colonies in the beginning while opposed to it. I'm going to be offline for a few days - If you would like to know more about the depth of it - I would recommend Professor Rakove's book, https://www.amazon.com/Original-Meanings-Politics-Making-Constitution/dp/0679781218
  2. However, that thumbprint in the Constitution created the path for the reconstruction amendments of 1865-1870 which marked a second constitutional founding that rested on other premises. Together, they made equality part of the constitution and they gave the national government an effective basis for challenging racial inequalities within the states.
  3. What I found seemed to imply the glue helped create that vacuum
  4. While Jerry and I disagree on political matters. He is a man of integrity whom I respect greatly. I sometimes wish we could all schedule an evening firepit with a few beers and solve the world's problems.

    Biden out

    Afternoon, Jerry Just some random thoughts - Promoting VP Harris as the key replacement is more of a way to keep the PAC funds and I do not think she's the best person for the job (i.e., Border Czar). Whitmer - I just don't know. The Democrat party is going to have to take into account the southern Democrats are Billy Joe Bobs and I'm not sure they're ready for a female President. Or a Kamala/Whitmer ticket. IMO - the best strategic plan would be a Kelly/Moore ticket. Let's keep in mind the number of Trump dissatisfied Republicans and a way to shift then as a FOR instead of an AGAINST rather then being like me and not voting. I can easily jump out of the door for a Kelly/Moore ticket.
  6. I'll tell you my main reason that I cannot vote for Trump. When you pressure your VP to not certify the election - you've chosen to go against the most core democratic principles in our nation and tried to turn it into a dictatorship.

    Kelly/Moore, please. (not the paint for the smartasses).
  8. I think Bill Clinton already did that.
  9. Yeah, think of it as a new presidential reality game of "Survivor - White House Edition."
  10. Bill, can you help me understand what is going on here?
  11. Perhaps someone should start a new thread to shift this conversation out of the second amendment thread.
  12. I sometimes wonder if there was a human race before us that existed. What if the blue marble shed all human life. There's growing evidence of ancient civilizations that were wiped out. Evidence of those civilizations are seen megalithic structures in Central/South America, Africa & Asia that are out of place with our current model of human history. What if they advanced on a trajectory not unlike our current one and we are three generations from wiping out the planet again forcing another mother nature evolutionary track to an earth reboot v.3. This is the kind of shit that keeps me up at night. :)
  13. Morning, Wendy We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Abraham Lincoln called it “a rebuke and a stumbling-block to tyranny and oppression.” It continues to inspire people around the world to fight for freedom and equality. If this were not true, why do so many die trying to cross our borders. I get tired of the new word speak of the day. Perhaps if the US Constitution was again required reading in JHS HS, we wouldn't have these silly political footballs.

  15. Yeah, so for my three lines posted - between Sky & you; I'd have to spend the whole day answering eleven questions of taunt. It would degrade into a silly argument. Not going to do it. You guys know the difference between sex education and porn.
  16. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pornography Science vs. Social Reproduction vs. Pornhub/OnlyFans type materiel in visual or written form.
  17. Not sure which camp you'd put me in; teaching sex education in class is one thing. Pornography is another.

    It's a shooting term referring to the grouping. Quarter, Nickel, Dime. Not real money, just the diameter of. EDIT: And the best one is - able to drive a nail at X yards.
