We're not gonna help you with your U.S Government homework. You should have taken notes.

 

Any else here old enough to miss Encyclopedias? We had '68 World Book and '69 Britannica sets growing up, I used to look up the articles on individual states so I could look at the governor's mansions. They both had articles on the US Government with diagrams that had pictures in the spot for the President, grinning Nixon in one and LBJ in the other, looking like he just read RFK's tracking poll. The Britannica one's article on World War II had a cover page that was a color photo of big Nazi military rally/speech with all the Kaiser helmets in the audience and banners up, embarrassingly enough I always thought that picture looked pretty cool.

 

^I had the 82 edition of encyclopedias...the same year I was born. 10 years later, they sent my family annual supplement editions that I was grateful my parents bought.

Big nerd here, but I read everything I was interested in. It doesn't hold a candle to Britannica or Wikis but back then as a 7 yr old, it was really accessible.

 

Is this bigtexxx?

Please explain politics.

 

I had the 1981 Funk and Wagnalls Encyclopedia set... all of my middle and high school papers were based on research from it...

BBS Hangout: Debate & Discussion
Monkeys flinging poo at each other. Politics, Religion, Race and other heated topics you wouldn't fire away on in polite conversation. Not for the weak of heart, but keep it civilized or you'll get the heave.

 

Much like the ending of Mass Effect 3. You're basically just choosing colors.

Pick whichever color you like best, but if you pick Republican, Sheppard dies.

 

Not every Republican is a stupid, but every stupid is a every a Replebian.

 

All politicians are the same

All politicians lie

There is no difference for the 99%.

 

Keep government out of our schools!!!

I'm old enough to have had one as a kid, but I don't miss it. Wikipedia can do things a bound book couldn't dream of doing. The best part of mine as a kid though was a series of clear plastic pages with the various human anatomy systems. So, you can start with the skeleton, drop the circulatory system on top, then the respiratory, muscular, and whatever.

 

Such as being wildly inaccurate at times:grin:
