Mostly captured in more "secretive" areas of operation such as Laos. Also, what do you think of the possibility that there could be more modern day prisoners of war in captivity that have been covered up, CIA assets for example?

It's obviously not out of love for Britain, so am I missing something important? Did it obstruct the power of Quebec as a province in some way? Did it somehow weaken the sovereignty movement?

At it's peak, the CNT had hundreds of thousands of active members. No other anarchist group in the world could draw numbers like that.

Why did anarchism catch on with Spaniards when it didn't with Russians, English, Germans, etc?

Is there any evidence of say a Cree or Mohawk personally meeting with some of other famous peoples of NA or SA? We give so much attention to other cultures, as well as their explorers and diplomats. I can only hope that 10000 years of development in the Americas allowed there to be a few very well travelled individuals. I'm imagining an Iroquois touring a Mayan temple, which is probably unlikely but pretty fun to imagine.

EDIT: pre-euro contact.

I go shop at Barnes n noble and half price a lot and can never seem to find any books based around the viking period of myths n legends. I am very fascinated with vikings and the legends they have going on I want to read more into it also.

I have been fascinated with WWII my entire life, and especially the fighters. I have been wondering if there was any special reasons that the Tuskegee Airmen painted the tails of their Mustang's red.

So what I'm really wondering is, was there something similar to air traffic control? Would they have someone row out and assign them a dock? Or would the ship just coast into whatever one was open? Or some other option?

So the other day my uncle was telling me this theory about how back in the colonial/early america days men at the age of 18 and up were forced to own a gun and participate in their local militia and do drilling and all that and were fined if they did not own a gun. He then told there are some who think that because of this they made the part of the 2nd amendment making it a right to bear arms was actually intended to not FORCE people to own guns and actually served more as a right NOT to bear arms (as in have the choice rather than be forced) . I have been trying to do a bit of googling but haven't really found anything about this theory online and am not really sure what to type in my searches.

Has anyone else heard of this or have any thoughts on it?

If I wanted to do good research (probably about undergrad level) on the American Revolution, what resources would you recommend to me? Have read everything by Joseph Ellis and Chernow as well as some primary sources.

Am reading John Kelly's The Great Mortality about the plague, which is repeating a characterization I've heard elsewhere: that cities like Genoa, Venice and Florence were exceptionally wealthy, sophisticated, stylish - and generally advanced, it seems. Were they in fact categorically different from other European cities at the time?

I don't know if this is true or not, but it's what has been said on my mother's side of the family. My great grandparents left Finland following the Winter War and this is supposedly why we no longer have many relatives left in Finland. Despite some searches now and then I've never been able to find a source.

I know the STG-44 still crops up from time to time in modern conflicts (a warehouse full of them was found, and Privi Partisan still make 7.92x33 rounds to feed them!)

but what else survived the war? Where else did their weapons and vehicles end up?

I've read Paul Arviche's "Anarchists in the Russian Revolution" and Emma Goldman's "My Disillusionment in Russia." looking for more!

I understand that Standard American English is rather recent, as there are many "American accents," but every time I listen to old US radio broadcasts, I just notice that these radio broadcasters are clearly American but still sound quite different.

I really feel lost in time, and i am pretty sure am not the only one... But everything seems to good to be true.

I'll start with the quote: "The 60's are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free and the Rock 'n' Roll never as great."

All the pictures, videos, music and testemonials left behind show kind of unimaginable era, which lasted for 5 years and happened only around 50 years ago. In those 5 years, the youth stopped the war, got together, experimented drugs, alcohol etc. They were, in my eyes, able to experience the free spirit and life of free will. Maybe i look to much from one side or perspective, but was really that good for young people let's say in California?

Is there any good book on subject or documentary? Thanks.

In most monastic orders, prayer schedules are incredibly rigid. Their life in general seems very regimented and that goes well into the night and early morning, with no sun to guide them.

So, I'm curious about how they kept on schedule.
