I don't recall ever playing with mercury, but I certainly remember mercury-based thermometers. Nowadays, of course, thermometers are mostly digital. As far as the insidiousness of "racism and bigotry training" is concerned - yup.
MLB told to ban Number 42? Yup - fake news. A biography of Jackie Robinson no longer on the shelves at the U.S. Naval Academy pursuant to instructions issued by the Pentagon in accordance with the President's Executive Order? Not so fake news. Just unreal.
My son has the same problem gagging on tomatoes although he can do ketchup. I hate the horsestuff, too, although I can take a tiny dab here or there, but it just burns. Only yellow mustard for me. I always pay good attention when ordering any deli sandwich and ask for "yellow" and watch as they make it.
I turned 18 in time to vote for Jimmy Carter in 1976. I was proud to support a decent, educated man who served his country. He studied engineering and served as a submarine officer aboard the USS Pomfret. He later became involved in the Navy's nuclear program and participated in the cleanup that followed a reactor accident at Canada's Chalk River Laboratories. Lieutenant Carter put on protective gear and took his turn being lowered into the hot zone to disassemble the damaged reactor. His more well-known career in politics was noted for humility, kindness, and compassion. Jimmy Carte was a man of heroic courage who spent his entire life in public service. I only wish that America could see his example as something to be emulated rather than ridiculed.
Well they deserved the recognition as they definitely made an impact on the last century. Unfortunately, so much of it was negative. Many, not just Time, seem to equate power with greatness.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - American Declaration of Independence
