You could have made the same salient point (i.e. it’s creepy & weird how much people would rather watch low quality video of a famous person taken during a moment of expected privacy when so much porn is freely available already) without the misogynistic & unasked-for evaluation of the victim’s appearance, but you’re…

This isn’t a major point of disagreement, but I don’t think ‘tremendous luck’ is necessarily required. Richard Pavlick could have killed Kennedy years earlier with a automobile laden with dynamite and only didn’t because JFK’s wife and children were there at the time.

The short version is that Mary almost certainly didn’t make up anything; that would come later as adherents to the new Jewish sect applied their understanding of the Greek Septuagint version of Isaiah to the story of a messiah.

It leaves out some of the race-based animus of the time. Cannabis was identified as being used by black jazz performers at their clubs in the East and by Mexican-Americans in the West. Criminalizing it was probably due to some sincere belief that it made people crazy and violent, but it was certainly useful for…

The trouble with this is that every other assassination or attempted assassination of a U.S. president that we know of involved only one person, except for Lincoln. That was a conspiracy to wipe out the Union government leadership, and everyone but Booth messed up or failed to do their part.

Much like he did two weeks ago against the Dolphins,

Since 2000, the US is averaging 20 veteran suicides EACH DAY.

I read and enjoyed ‘Starship Troopers’ when a younger teen. The military sci-do is good and stands up today. It’s unfortunate they didn’t have the CGI budget for both The Arachnids and powered exoskeletons.

I apologize; I didn’t state that well.

To No. 2: Black offenders are underrepresented on Death Row compared with their proportion of homicides.

The nice thing about tennis, as opposed to boxing or football, is you can still enjoy watching an older player go out and compete against younger, stronger opponents without worrying they’re putting themselves in danger.

I know it’s an occasional criticism or diminishment of women’s tennis accomplishments that it’s best two out of three compared to best three out of five for the men.

It didn’t make sense to me that she’d be a bride because I took it she was born with an arm that showed signs of the effect of radiation.
