    What way did their politics lean, within the context of America?

    Education is extremely important.

      Etymology fun fact: The arteries in the neck are called "carotids," from the Greek word "karotides", relating to the word "katotikos" (to stupefy) and "karos" (deep sleep).

      The ancient Greeks used it/knew that compression of the carotid arteries would produce unconsciousness.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        No idea if this is true or not, but if so...cool!

            Wonder if there are cool features that would be revealed on currency bills under UV light, too.

                    The Women’s Christian Temperance Union, to which we owe the failed experiment of prohibition, still exists. It claimed 5k members in 2012, down from 350k a century earlier.

                    On the website it tells you how you join. You print out the temperance pledge, and mail it to Evanston IL along with $20.

                    https://www.wctu.org/

                    Only non-witches get due process.

                      It was a source of never-ending mockery when I went to college there.

                          I have learned that Madeleine Albright wrote a book with a mildly interesting title: Hell And Other Destinations.

                              From the preface of the book Information Wars by Richard Stengel: "In 2010, Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, said we create as much information every two days -- about five exabytes -- as all the information created from the dawn of civilization until 2003."
