“visitor’s”? I gues’s correct punctuation cost’s extra.
Very interesting article, blam. Bookmarking.
Question: Does FR seem like it’s getting slower and slower to load? Tonight is the worst. I switched from dial-up to high-speed about a year ago and everything got wonderfully fast. FR is driving me crazy this week.
Maybe it’s my computer. I have no idea.
Anywho, ...........have a GREAT weekend!
I’ve noticed the slow down too - and I have DSL.
“The land was valued at $300,000. Sharp sold it for $174,000.”
....the owner was smart to sell and lucky to get $174,000...the site of an Indian village makes it hard, if not impossible to develop...anybody with one drop of Indian blood could go to court about “desecrating” the graves of his ancestors.
It’s real slow for me too. I have DSL.
GGG Ping.
Liberal "journalism" school grads, no doubt...
I also have DSL/Verizon, and my computer is loading very slowly today, not just on FR.
Communities of between 50 and 50,000 people and they just disappeared? I guess it must have been global warming, or maybe imperialism of an oppressive tribe came along and took their land, only to be driven out by the White Europeans.
European diseases?
Yeah, that probably contributed, but I think that the people that they were referring to diasppeared before the Cherokee came in.
It just drives me crazy that anthropologists will never admit that the Indians wiped out each other, and took over the land, just like the European immigrants. That’s just the way the world works.
Yes, it's been very sluggish for a week or 10 days at least.
Which is quite unusual I think.
Typically Free Republic would load faster than you could say Jim Robinson, but lately not so.
It's one of those global warming things, like rising sea levels, I suspect.
If I had only pledged more support to the local NPR affiliate this year I'm sure we wouldn't be in this pickle.
I was busy listening to this.

[singing] Don’t - stop - thinkin’ about Hillary’s inauguration...
I haven't forgiven them for that yet.
Have you ever listened to Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds (It's a two album set)
Hmm... how old is it? I know I’ve never owned it (I do have a two LP set of Mercury Theater’s WotW though). The only Fleetwood Mac album I’ve got is “Bare Trees”, and (other than the Mrs. Scarrot track, which is reallllly obnoxious) it’s an old fave. That’s pre-BuckinghamNicks. The post- lineup hasn’t done much for me. I like the track “World Turnin’”, in fact, so did Leo Kottke, and for that matter, Drew Carey (DC used Leo’s version in the opening gambit of one episode, in fact, the first time I’d heard Leo’s version).
I didn't care for Fleetwood Mac pre-Buckingham/Nicks.
