As I recall this all began when some computer scientists at State Universities questioned the fact that all the boroughs using electronic or computer controlled vote tallying went Republican , while all the preliminary polls and all the paper based tallying boroughs went democratic!!!!!
The level of concern from the Trump party seems way, way out of proportion to something they describe as trivial and useless.
I had a similar experience with a baby duck as a child. It died Christmas night while I fed it with an eye dropper. The other ducklings had sensed its weakness and pecked at it relentlessly. I felt like its last moments gave it some joy and peace.
I dont get the cuban missle crisis comparison. We have been at cold war status for quite a while, but during the cuban crisis we were 60 seconds from doomsday. The last cold war was decades long.
Russia's invasion of Afghanistan directly led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the liberation of Eastern Europe as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Unless Putin and Trump win the election, the CIA did a great service in Afghanistan.
Z is right about the first Iraq war. Bush senior did an awesome job, thanks to Baker, Scowcroft esp., and Colin Powell (in the news today) among others.
Norman wanted to crush Hussein at first but wiser heads prevailed. Bush 1 never did like Cheney or Rumsfeld.
the Saudi U.S. diplomatic relationship is based on acceptance of Wasabi radicalism brainwashing millions of Muslims in return for their oil. Very cynical, also critical to us.
Truth is her plagiarism has more liability than Hillary's sloppiness. Trumps inept attempt at managing a campaign speaks volumes. Wait until he manages the country!
NRA is the most corrupt,largest and powerful lobby in U.S.A. It works for gun dealers not gun owners. When a kindergarten of children were slaughtered by a lunatic in California, the NRA fought to protect the military style automatic weapon the lunatic used to kill them.
South Africa ,though, is very different from the U.S.
I was close, as a child to a Chinese missionary active in the early 1900's. She taught English. China had a deep and profound influence on her.
Most of her ideas of beauty were rooted in Victorian concepts but she had friendships with some Modernist poets like Eliot and Bogan.
Early Chinese and Japanese aesthetics are extremely interesting but I have had a hard time really understanding much of it. I stumbled onto Buhtto recently, I think it will have profound implications for contemporary painting.
I live near the city and last year some poor deer was in my back yard, briefly. they can be beautiful, but overpopulating like mad. maybe the coywolves will balance things.
Ive heard of lots of cases of men as well as women being deceived and manipulated by bf or gf that they really hardly know. Knowing the immediate family and there background is crucial. Women are particularly vulnerable to the rare psycho that waits until the third or fourth date to change from jekyll to hyde. Double dates, small groups of friends, all are helpful but the extensive background the op noted is expensive.
