One thing I have always remembered since reading about in grade two was the story about how that German guy, Luz Long, helped Jesse Owens during the 1936 Olympics.

The Azzurri can go straight to hell for all I care.

They are not doing that. The DPRK seems to be holding its own.

Oh yeah - Slovenes and Slovaks always get me confused!

I hope so - I love the USA in soccer more than any other international context, with the possible exception of World War II. GOTTA beat Slovakia.

Groovy - gotta work that night, or I would try to join yous!

Hard to find a nicer place to see a show.

Woo-hoo! They are GREAT live.

Yeah, it only took the Irish three centuries to get the Brits to (mostly) leave!

If nonviolent resistance could (at least play a role in) convincing the Brits to give up India, then it can do anything.

That's true - if the Palestinians had a Gandhi among them, they might be a lot further along than they are now. Though, they are not doing so bad in their campaign to out-breed the Jews.
