Yeah, JMS... except you've got what... actually, no. I'm not even going to try counting the number of wars going on in this show. I would miss one.

lol, good point, Mem. XD

I...didn't notice a line edit either?

Disneyplanet?
Give 'em time, and they'll try to buy a planet. It's inevitable.

It really IS inevitable.

It's a period too few people really know much about, and it never hurts to point to the past in order to warn about the future."
Seriously, it's never covered in school.

My Canadian skepticism also often wonders if the government is trying to brush over that black mark in history...can't have such a great and powerful and patriotic nation post-WWII be all, you know, IMPERFRECT.

All this blacklisting of writers and journalists during the age of McCarthyism is just making me have a lot of The Lives of Others feels. T_T Such a good movieeeeeeee.

Yeah, we showed it glowing when Sinclair was catpured.

Catpured? XD SINCLAIR WAS CAT-PURRED!

I think the order or dominance of the drug is probably determined by the ( ... )

Well, I know a lot of teachers who would like to teach it. There's just no time. Literally, we rush through WWII just to make sure they can answer the questions on the tests. One day, we should just teach the course backwards.

lol, yeah. I'm under the impression JMS was typing a lot of these responses late at night, and this was before everything had spell checks. Still, it amuses me.

Who doesn't love Jesus Christ Superstar? Even the priests did, when my mother brought in the record of it so that she could shock them. Sadly, it backfired because the priest knew all the words.

lol, or they can do what my high school did, and teach US History in two parts: one semester up to Reconstruction, and the other semester from then onwards. Cause I did have some decent learning in the modern era, at least.

This does not surprise me. XD For some reason, Catholics seem to universally love that musical. Well, the majority of them anyway. I remember going to see it and just being majorly confused the whole time because the apostles were wearing jeans and Jesus was in white khakis. And also the Mary Magdalen arc; that confused me (granted, I was somewhere between the ages of 10-15 when I saw it, so my worldview was a bit more rigid then).

Yeah, but backwards would be more fun. It would also make sense to have two years of US... instead of one year of US and several of Texas history, but that's just me.

Yup, that one and Godspell are my mother's two favorites. I remember listening to them a lot when I was younger. Godspell also messes with you having everyone in jeans. XD Actually, I was always confused on the fact they were crucifying him on a chain link fence, but hey.
