Since the late 70s schools stop teaching our history and what our kind of government we have

GUILTY!

Guilty on all 34 counts. Donald Trump, former President of the United States, is now a convicted felon.

The crowd outside the court house just started cheering and applauding.

Wallace strips away the sentimental image of Helen Keller and reveals an astonishing woman who lectured, traveled, wrote books, and loved movies. A friend of Charlie Chaplin and of Martin Luther King, she was a radical and passionate political activist taking stands against war, racism, and inequality that brought her to the attention of Hoover and his FBI. Following Keller’s life, Wallace offers a bonus: a stunning overview of the brutal politics of the 20th century. I enjoyed the book very much."

So I have had a thought about the word "America/American" and it being used as slang, I guess, to describe a particular group of USA citizens. That thought being that "America", the word, was originally made to name continents because Columbus was an idiot and didn't found an alternative route to India.

So I feel that anyone in any America could call themselves American or refer to their country as "America"; not just the USA or the particular group of USA citizens have that privilege and me feeling like them being a bit rude for owning that for so long.

But I guess, like I mention before, it has became slang to refer to a group in the USA so it has been bothering me less on that front when I think of it that way. Same with any take of "'Merica" falling into that category. Kinda like how "yankee" or "yank" is used for slang for anyone from USA, I think.

Though the proverbial "showdown at high noon" is largely a media invention, many famous gunslingers of the American Old West did engage in formal duels at least occasionally. The main differences from the popular media version are twofold:

Formal duels were rare; most famous gunslingers duelled only once or twice in their entire careers, and a gunslinger with three or more duels under their belt would have been considered extraordinarily prolific (and also extraordinarily stupid – see below);

Those gunslingers who did duel typically made a point of accepting challenges only from opponents of demonstrably inferior skill; there was something of an unspoken agreement among prolific duellists to avoid duelling each other by any means necessary, as they knew the surest way to cut short one's career was to duel someone who actually knew what they were doing!

Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because some day I want to write a semi-competitive tabletop RPG where the player characters are all rival gunslingers living the high life on manufactured drama and exaggerated tales of their legendary prowess while going to elaborate lengths to avoid having to actually fight each other.

Why Are Americans Jumping Ship

The question needs to be asked why are Americans jumping ship and leaving California, New York and other cities in the United States for new locations? 

The question needs to be asked why are Americans jumping ship and leaving California, New York and other cities in the United States for new locations?  This is internal migration within the United States of America, not migration to other nations, particularly the English-speaking world and Europe.  People migrated due to better economic prosperity or an escape from persecution immigration to…
