“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.”
Most often, this quote from Paine is truncated at the semicolon.
I often wonder if Paine believed his child's peace would be enduring. After all, he did not speak about his child's children.
Peace, it seems, is most often temporary as most are not satisfied to simply let others be.
The best we could.Prepare your children well.
I notice it most when we discuss the Civil War.
What are you, apostrophist?Personally, I would like to know why gregr’s apostrophes are always backwards. But it’s not really worthy of its own thread, kinda like the sub-thread in a thread idea you are proposing? I’m sure the mods won’t mind a bit.

Many years ago Rush Limbaugh taught that you can always spot a liberal because they’re the first person to call names. Turned out to be a pretty dependable theorem.You should probably throw that text book away.

Nah, I wasn’t a rush fan, but I respect the sentiment.Many years ago Rush Limbaugh taught that you can always spot a liberal because they’re the first person to call names. Turned out to be a pretty dependable theorem.
And it works even better for them in these times, because they call a name and try to change the subject, putting the other on defense.
I saw Kut do that a lot.
I’m sure my post will be discounted because it starts with “Rush Limbaugh”.
Apologies for any confusion. I learned a long time ago that the internet does not do a good job at communicating sarcasm, so I learned to make extensive use of emojis, and purple text on INGO.Sorry, it’s honestly hard to tell what is said in jest from what is serious on here anymore.
