Rich Lowry takes on the NY Times 1619 production, which explained that the US revolution was motivated by a desire to avoid the British abolitionists. He has them outnumbered.
Frequently Unasked Questions: This NY Times 1619 project has a broad scope and its mission is to show that America was founded on slavery, built by slaves and remains hideously racist today. My queston - what is the involvement of Times editor Sarah Jeong, who quite famously hates white people (but its OK, because progressive reasons.)

My ancestors suggest the NYT can kiss our lily white behinds.
Quakers were pleased that, during the Revolutionary War, there was a near cessation of the importation of slaves. Under the Articles of Association, the American colonies agreed to stop the practice largely as a punitive measure protesting British trade policies. Throughout the 1770s and 80s, Quakers’ efforts to end the slave trade and slavery consisted mainly of moral suasion and petitioning. Their work met with some modest success as several states banned the importation of slaves and several abolished the practice altogether. But the rhetoric and logic of liberty was not fully extended to slaves. The importation of slaves resumed after the war, and ultimately the Constitutional Convention reached several compromises regarding slavery. Quakers were generally supportive of the Constitution but actively sought to correct deficiencies in the new plan of government in regards to slavery.

Re the discussion of the IRS and the Constitution on the last thread;
The Constitution specifically prohibited an income style direct tax. Most of the revenue was raised through tariffs [external revenue] and eventually excise taxes [internal revenue].
So the Constitution may have anticipated a mechanism by which those other taxes would be regulated and collected but I don't think it's fair to say they anticipated an amendment making direct taxes legal.
The amendment process of course makes the complete repeal of the entire constitution's intent theoretically possible but I don't think they anticipated our collective IQ would decline quite as precipitously as it has.

Iggy, other than finding some way for you to again disagree with some conclusion of mine, your 12:22 contains enough for me to agree with to make disagreeing with you difficult.
This started with my offering an observation in support of James' and MM's comments about the role of government employees' bad faith and/or competence in the decline of our governance, which Cap'n took off point by informing me that neither the IRS nor the DoJ et al were in the Constitution, and which you now pile on with imagining what the Founders might have been thinking in order to dispute what I said they wrote. But which you then agreed they wrote. The fact is they gave us the tools to unwind the entire system they designed, and two centuries later perhaps half of the country would do that if they could. And no, I don't want to quibble about the size of "half", nor do I want to make the mistake I made last week by calling them "neighbors" since that drew lightning too.
I stand by my point. If I could recall what my point was.

AND the very thing that she dislikes about so many churches is part and parcel of what the democrats are currently up to.

Rocco, the scene where Edward Rutledge of South Carolina objects to that wording of Jefferson's is a very powerful one in the 1776 musical. Rutledge calls out the northern colonies (and the Massachusetts delegation in particular) for their hypocrisy in profiting from "molasses to rum to slaves" while simultaneously castigating the Southern states for allowing the practice.

So, I have added 3 books to his dorm room library: Brian Lamb's "Booknotes: Stories from American History", based on his C-Span show. Also "The Great Republic: A HIstory of America", by Sir Winston Churchill and edited by his grandson, Winston S. Churchill. The best single volume history of the United States published outside the country. Lastly, "1776", by David McCullough.
I told him that they were to be used as reality checks and to supplement any critical thinking in terms of papers and/or supplemental discussion. I've read all 3 and found them to be very informative especially Churhill's opus.

Oil fields, even abandoned oil fields, still contain significant amounts of oil.

Jim, costco,com (Kirkland) and Jet.com(Blue Diamond) both carry almond flour at the best prices. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid so recipes that call for almond flour cannot be easily substituted with coconut flour , Bob's red mill also on line carries it. I think it has a more neutral flavor than coconut flour does.
Other nut flours like walnut can be used in its place.
If you have a powerful blender you can turn blanched almonds into flour.

RSE, you are doing a great job with your very difficult situation with your parents. And that link was indeed just ghastly--run, do not walk, from public schools and many private ones.
James D.--I always agree with you!

Oh, and I have a boy too (my last child of four and latter of the boys) as a senior this year (a year ahead of Frederick). Football varsity DE, Eagle Scout, straight As, 5 APs last year (all 4s and 5s), 5 APs this year plus Calc III. Also, he's a sweetheart who moreover hates to spend my money, and gorgeous. I am hereby bragging! Won't do it anymore. GUS will understand (that's so nice, GUS, you still have my Christmas card!).

Catsmeat:
Sounds like your son has the complete resume to attend the college of his choice.
Good luck to him in the college choice process.

If Frederick is very verbal,an AP English course would be recommended.
