Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

When dealing with family sometimes its better to wait till you are away, like at college, to tell them.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

She is a kid, she is dependent on parents who are willing to make life difficult on her for being gay. Its unfair to ask her to take that kind of stand.

Whe she is an independent adult yes, tell mom and dad to piss off.. she is not there yet

Fair point. I sometimes forget that quite a few people here are still dependents.

It's a château next to a lake somewhere in the French-speaking part of Belgium - yes, with jacuzzi. Found a 50% discount that I couldn't let pass me by - I really need a break from these 4 walls.

There was also an option to have rose petals strewn across the bed but we politely declined that overpriced option.

You can just take some roses and toss the petals on the bed yourselves, yes.

I actually hate jacuzzis. We put one in the old family home for the last fourish years we had it and I used it a grand total of three times. They were all in the first year.

I just think other people should use them because other people like them more than me and it's real classy.

I got into one before in Marina Bay Sands. It was okay for me, not really my thing because it was literally my first time. There was security to ask kids to stay out because the heat and the pressure would do numbers on their smoother and weaker skin.

If you get here in time and can find the hotel and the room, I'd be so impressed I wouldn't be able to decline.
