335 B.C. - Alexander the Great destroyed every building in Thebes, Egypt, except the temples and the house of the poet Pindar.

Alexander did the world a disservice with this event, but the Greeks/Macedonians were semi-barbaric and brutal...Then again, so are many modern people.

It’s terribly unfortunate much of the ancient world has been destroyed or put to flame, because the puzzle we have left of the ancients is tough to piece together, and much of it has been propagandized by the 'winners.'

1620 - The Mayflower set sail from Southampton, England.

There were other people on the North American continent, but this ship carried the first 'Americans.'

It's important to note, the term 'American' describes an attitude and sense of freedom much more than it describes a people or a region...Which is why even people who hate America would like to become 'Americans.'

1630 - The Massachusetts village of Shawmut changed its name to Boston.

The original Bostonians would be sick to see the insane, God-hating, Liberal pukes who now reside in their once-great village.

1782 - The Great Seal of the United States was used for first time.

The Great Seal tells a great story, and portrays America in it’s full glory, as it is and should always be…Click on the links below to read about the meaning of each item.

Obverse: On the breast of the American bald eagle is a shield with thirteen vertical white and red stripes beneath a blue chief. In the eagle's right talon is an olive branch, and in his left a bundle of thirteen arrows. In his beak is a scroll inscribed with the motto E Pluribus Unum.

Over the head of the eagle, a golden glory is breaking through a cloud and surrounding a constellation of thirteen stars on an azure field.

Reverse: In the zenith of an unfinished pyramid is an eye in a triangle surrounded with a golden glory. Over the eye are the words Annuit Coeptis. On the base of the pyramid are the numerical letters MDCCLXXVI, and underneath, the motto Novus Ordo Seclorum.

1893 - More than 100,000 homesteaders rushed to claim shares of a six-million acre strip between Oklahoma and Kansas opened up by the U.S. government.

The 'Boomers' were off to settle a new and better life...The 'Sooners' already had their plots.

1974 - President Ford offered conditional amnesty to Vietnam draft evaders. He said they could come home if they performed up to two years of public service.

1. This offer was far too generous, and they should have either went to jail or not been allowed to come home at all.

2. Carter eliminated the 'two years of public service,' and the Liberal scumbags in the country turned the evaders into celebrities...Hell, one even managed to be elected president:  Bill Clinton.

1997 - Attorney General Janet Reno named Charles La Bella the Justice Department's new lead prosecutor in the campaign fund-raising investigation.

Hahahaha!! I hope you find this as funny as I do...Especially considering Reno's boss was one of the most corrupt 'fund-raisers' ever:  Bill Clinton.

2005 - A 3-day U.N. summit, billed as the largest gathering of world leaders in history, ended and achieved far less than Secretary-General Kofi Annan had hoped.

What a joke! I would have assumed nothing of worth would have gotten done. The fact they got less than hoped for must mean they didn't even get started.
