goldeneagle I don't really think they had mass media as we know it today in mind, because people in the 1700's could never have imagined the technological advances we enjoy today. As you stated, there were a few early versions of newspapers around, but slow delivery...

goldeneagle I love the ocean, and I like to sit and watch the ships go by as well. Unfortunately, I don't live in a coastal city anymore. The nearest beach is almost 100 miles away, so I never get to see the ocean these days. I would like to live close to the ocean again...

Here in the US, criminals are treated in relative luxury, which is NOT decreasing the prison population. So many states don't enact the death penalty, yet won't repeal it. So the death penalty isn't much of a deterrent. Sheriff...

goldeneagle I have a better idea. We should bring back the old-fashioned "chain-gangs". I don't know about where you live, but a lot of the roads here are in terrible shape. Buying 1,000 shovels and forcing criminals to do the work would be a lot cheaper than buying ONE...

goldeneagle Swimming is good for your allergies because the water goes up your nose and cleans out your nasal passages much the way a neti pot cleanses them. It will provide temporary relief, but will not solve the problem.
