  • The Onion looks at the discovery of a group of North Dakotan coal miners that would become the cast of 'Happy Days,' the Supreme Court ruling that allowed black students to experience racism first hand in desegregated schools, and the historic hot air balloon ride that allowed one 13-year-old to become the first American to urinate on a crowd from 100 feet in the air.

    When I watched the last "This Week In History" I thought "Well the next one has to have the historian either looking emotionless and silently into the camera or weeping continuously, since they've upped the ante so much, this is the only possible culmination"
    Wish I wrote that in the chat then and became mini-Nostradamus.

    Chomsky: Thomas Jefferson, the leading Enlightenment figure in the United States, along with Benjamin Franklin, who took exactly the same view, argued that dependence will lead to "subservience and venality", and will "suffocate[s] the germs of virtue". And remember, by dependence he meant wage labor, which was considered an abomination under classical liberal principles.
