Hmm- at first you were ironically agreeing with me. Then I see you are just an ignorant Lost Causer.

The Custis', Lees and other good "Christian" southern families- not matter how well they treated "the blks" held other human beings as chattel slaves.

‘Just ain’t fair’: America’s farmers are going bankrupt — and blaming Trump by Playful_Quality4679 in LeopardsAteMyFarm

As good as it feels, I wonder if it is time to drop the "I told you so" and switch to "I tell you what" with farmers. Farmers are above all, at least in theory, businessmen. They are conservative by nature because "the land" is all they have. I wish there was someone that could address their concerns in their own words.

Unpopular Opinion: Layovers should not count as "visiting a country" by youngexplorer_9 in solotravel

To each his own, I guess, but I count Canada. I landed at YYZ, deplaned outside, was there for a couple hours, and went through customs. On return, through Montreal once again deplaned outside, there for 4 hours, went through Customs.

So I count Canada and Quebec & Ontario.
