World history should be taught before US history.
Children can't possible understand what makes the US unique in the world - unless you know what came before (& since).
Sometimes it is through the study of others that we understand ourselves.
@lecternleader Be well, my friend. May you be with God every day in your struggle. May he work through you to spread the message of Jesus' substitution for all of us. And may you help others with the same difficultly with your testimony.
Latin America speaks Spanish because they were colonized by Spain in such totality that the native languages died out for the most part
Spanish turning into an "anticolonialist" message is truly the work of retards
On this night 18 years ago, this event took place.
It was heard around the world by millions, collapsing our website, and brought untold numbers to Jesus Christ.
My friend John Lennox, whom I convinced to do it, was an unknown.
After this, he rocketed to Christian stardom.
in late 2009, when the Climategate emails were released, news about the Climategate emails was top of google searches for almost any climate-related term. This drove a huge amount of traffic to climateaudit[.]org and wattsupwiththat[.]org, thus infuriating the climate lobby. Many of the suppression techniques used in social media were pioneered to censor climate discussion.
This interference with public discussion has arguably interfered with the development of a plausible middle ground - that there has been huge "natural" climate change both over geological time and, more recently, since the end of the most recent (and very recent) ice age; that there has recently been global warming which has actually improved the climate for our species over the past 150 years or so from what it would have been under "natural" Milankovich changes.
The "hockey stick" model of climate change popular with climate "science" community - no change prior to modern CO2 emissions - has been a disservice to both policy and understanding and is an unfortunate example of "climate change denial" - denial of climate change before the modern period.
