Why would your gloves be in the pocket of one of Malices jackets?

Anyone wanna...
...talk about the Civil War? I am currently reading a book about it and I think the lead up to the war is pertinent in context of the lead up to our invasion of Iraq at least as a comparison to big events of violence and how and why it may not have been avoidable.
I'm just wondering why NH posted this in News and CURRENT Events. Has he finally run out of more contemporary articles to link to?

I'd comment, but I don't want to give away the ending.

The book is...
...Bruce Catton; The Coming Fury
The analogies to today are mine. The Civil War, as a time period is, to me, the window to the soul of what America is.

That's OK...
...for 10 years and endless books, Vrail couldn't help herself and would leave notes on my bookmarks as to how it all turned out.

How can NOT believe in something based on nothing??
I don't believe in the non-believers? Is that the dreaded double negative??
So in reality you DO belive in athiesm?
But how can you believe in something that is based on not believing?
I think I'm going to stick to the church of Popeye.. I yam what I yam.
He thought I was kidding him about Gettysburg.

I would be interested in your thoughts on what could have been done to avoid the war.

Thank you.
What the hell is the relevance of this article almost 40 years later??? Next shall we examine whether women should be allowed to vote or not?
No they should not.
Unless they are athiests..

Well...
...if Southern leaders were not insistent on fighting, they would have announced withdrawal from the Union, as they did. They would have established their own government, as they did.
And then they would have entered into negotiations with the federal government to peacefully and patiently acquire each and every piece of federal property in the succeeded states, from arsenals to forts to offices to pencils and paper.
As it was, they did so violently and asked for war. The North said...
OK.

I wonder...
...who would become president this time if women were not allowed to vote?
I wonder who would win if men were not allowed?

if you are going to explain to me how something was created out of nothing...be my guest.
I used to be able to explain NEARLY every aspect of how a god could not exist...but thats where I'd get stuck. You simply cannot have physical things without some divine intervention. Sure, you can explain how different chemicals combine today to make different things, BUT, how do you explain exactly where carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, ect. atoms came from? You cannot even have the heat that was required to combine some atoms to other atoms to make different chemical combinations w/o the initial creation of something.
Tell me how something came from nothing and maybe I'll second guess my beliefs, but currently I can completely be against organized religion but still believe that some being had to have created the elements of the universe.
