America's Culture War
I love it when people fictionalize the past! America used to have reverence & respect for human rights, public decency, & a moral & virtuous life Salem Witch Trials, driving of Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams out of Massachusettes Bay Colony for religious dissent, King Phillips War (the basic place where Europeans introduced scalping to America bevcause paying a bounty of the heads of Native Americans gave them such huge piles of heads), slavery, slave auctions (now there is public decency!), public executions (more public decency!), "Mad Anthony" Wayne (of Ft Wayne fame) and the Swamp Fox, known for the brutal butchery of Tories and the British, Bloody Kansas, Frank Quantrill and his bloody butchery of nonConfederates, indentured servanthood, denial of the votes to non property owners, denial of vote to women, Maryland being formed because Catholics were persecuted in other colonies, Pennsylvania formed likewise to provide a safe place for "non conforming" Christians, the systematic slaughter - ethnic cleansing - of Native Americans, so successful that many tribes now cease to exist, the driving of Native Americans off their land and forced marches into slave camps ie reservations, the Sand Creek Massacre, Wounded Knee, waging a civil war to protect slavery, the imposition of Jim Crow after slavery was outlawed, segregation, lynchings, child labor, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, the Scopes trial, the Otto Frank case, the executions of Sacco and Vanzetti, the Palmer Raids after WWI, the first known use of bioloigcal warfare, giving infested blankets to Native Americans, taking Japanese citizens out of their homes and businesses and jobs and putting them in internment camps. When I look at the news, I do think the current administration is bringing those days back!

Very strange White Sox "web site"
I hate these things somehow it seems the overwhelming majority of posts are to bash someone or to quote someone bashing someone or to say that someone else is bashing someone one bash bash bash. As the immortal philosophers Donna Summr and Barbra Streisand once said, together, Enough is enough. Topic closed. Unhappy? As always, please PM me. My call because I don't need any fighting going on more and SuperSteve gets the Good Guy award for saying something funny to lighten up this bash-fest.

So I finally made it to the Cell
Join silver and black pack and get 6 free tickets for selected games. Monday and Tuesday half price nights. Sundays all kids $1. And park and ride the el. When I come in from the suburbs where I stay with friends, we take the el.

So I finally made it to the Cell
ss2k4, if I change two words, it will never be said enough that it is remembered: Once again, it isn't the Sox who came up with the 100 level policy. It was MLB mandating to the Sox after the KC debacle last year.

So I finally made it to the Cell
the club level is being changed into the la di da place to sit. No one with club tickers gets in there. It is really fine in there. If I ever win the lottery, I am keeping my UD seats but I'll be geting club seats too.

Good news for us out of towners
but knightmi said If living in Berrien County means he could not get the Sox because they were blacked out as he said above, how would living in Indiana "we are so original we named our city after your state help? I am asking seriously as to that. And what are the job opps in law or title work in your area?
