IÂ almost forgot about this entry that I wanted to post about the inauguration and history, but it still fits because it is still Black History Month.
At Defining Moment, Stories of Injustice
***I really love stories that gives insight to how far we have come through people’s experiences. I love speaking to older generations just to get perspective. So many of our generation and younger take things for granted and that is sad. This is the church that is gathering the stories of it’s members : Second Baptist Church
Inauguration view an ode to U.S.’s promise
***This is a fascinating history of our nation’s capital.
White senator discovers family’s African-American roots
***I really got a kick out of this one. How would you like to find a bunch of relatives that you never knew existed by watching TV? It really shows how interlocked we really are.
Gov. Bobby Jindal’s volcano remark has some fuming
***This has nothing to do with history. This is a political post….WTF is wrong with him?!?! Hello! I can see Mt. St. Helens from were we live…I want to know if it is going to blow. It is still active. We have Mt Hood, it last erupted just before Lewis & Clark’s arrival. According to wikipedia :
Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt,[7] though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely. Still, the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7 percent,[8] so the USGS characterizes it as “potentially active”, but the mountain is informally considered dormant.[8]
It is extremely, extremely unlikely that it will go in my life time and longer….but still, things like that need to be studies
How about this…..we give up our volcano monitoring and they give up their hurricane warnings…..and I’ve been through more hurricanes then I want to remember.
What a fraking moron!!! ggggrrrr
