That happened at the Belle Meade Mansion which is algore's stomping ground area. I didn't include the name before because I couldn't remember until now.

Yeah, those servants had a heck of a 401K plan. Dental too.

Speaking of 1984 (the movie)...I remember when it was released, our local CBS News in New York City had a review, and the reviewer (Stuart Klein) had this to say after giving it only 2 stars (I paraphrase):

"...All in all the movie was just alright. To be honest, the reason for my mostly negative review was simple: It was just too depressing."

I swear I'm not making it up. I wrote him a letter (back before e-mail) suggesting he actually READ THE BOOK. For heaven's sake! It's SUPPOSED to be depressing! Sheesh!

Regards,

Hehe. I think the state of New York had a "dental plan" like that until they finally got around to abolishing slavery -- in 1827 when they no longer had much use for it. Just one generation later they were shocked (shocked!) that other states still practiced it.

Why in the world did Solzhenitsyn ever write "Gulag Archipelago?" It's such a downer!

It would have been so much easier if those people in the South were able to choose their own provider.

I guess that's what happens when you get locked into a plan.

I recently bought a copy of a Unites States history written in about 1875 at an antique book store.

While on a used bookstore jaunt six or seven years ago I happened across a book printed around the same time and titled (to the best of my memory): Our American Indians - Their Barbaric Customs and Savage Ways.

I wish now that I had bought it when I saw it. A couple weeks later it was gone, and I've never seen another copy, nor a reference to it. Comparing the attitudes towards "Native Americans" during the 1870s - 1880s to the present day would have been interesting.

Ask the citizens (and lawmakers) from the state of Nevada if they want the nuclear storage facility in Yucca Mountain.

I didn't hear the good citizens (and politicians) of Nevada bitching when the federal government was spending billions of dollars studying the Yucca Mountain depository.

I have two volumes on the Civil War that were printed before the war was over.

They're so fragile that I haven't opened them up in years. They were printed in the North with a lot of the flowery prose of the time.

"...were able to choose their own provider."

I agree. And in fact some were able to do just that. Forrest used to let them walk freely through Memphis to meet their prospective "health plan carriers" and pick the one they wanted. Of course, nobody likes to go to the dentist, so naturally he had to have disincentives in place just in case they elected to have no dental plan at all.

Another good read is by Alexander H. Stephens, A Constitutional View Of The Late War Between The States, 1868

Our nation is only a couple of rewrites away from having never existed.

Those who are trying so hard to rewrite our history into some sort of a Marxist Egalitarian pursuit, will never rest while any aspect of the original America continues to exist. This is just part of the ideological war, which we have been consistently losing, save for a couple of bright moments, such as that which occurred in November, 1980.

To understand the hate campaign against the South--which is really a hate campaign against Jeffersonian principles, which limit Government, and make liberty a powerful barrier to egalitarian madness--see Creating Hate In America Today.

I voted for the guy, but I recognize his faults. He has some. Isn't that a refreshing thing to hear from a supporter of a candidate? LOL

I've basicly done the same thing. You'd be surprised what amounts to someone being a Nazi in some people's minds. It always winds up reducing the actual facts about what a real Nazi was. That's one of the most important negatives to people throwing around that term so easily. Nazis did some pretty disgusting things. Pat hasn't done anything that would even remotely classify him as a Nazi.

I just suspect this guy would be thrilled to hear from me, so he could enlighten me. I doubt very much he's interested in truly listening. The guy probably has never heard of the concept of state's rights. Do you think he's ever heard of the concept that the federal government has no duties that are not directly attributed to it? While I may have worded it wrong, the federal government had no right whatsoever to enter into the decisions of the states from the south. Perhaps he should find the part of the Constitution which lists the federal government oversight duties when it comes to states. I haven't found it yet, at least not in the Constitution as it existed in the 1850s.
