    Also if ya dig this hippy video on youtube 😀 you may enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀

    It breaks my heart that this mad violence towards the LGBTQ+ community happened in earlier decades because the irony of this content was present back in the ancient Greek/Roman eras. Plus, I don’t recall this being touched on during school. I may not be queer but I'm still exploring who I am. I'm an ally to those of the Pride community, a strong and kind person for someone to lean on and say you're not alone. I thank those at Stonewall for fighting every day and giving them a flame of courage and to fight. The future lies in the hands of the younger generations. Fight hard, proud, and strong. Vote!🫂

    The black families were told “yes our children are sick because you’re not taking good care of them!” Such complete ignorance and stupidity which still exists today! This shows another way that RENT and mortgages should not exist! People who own rental properties are SLAVE owners who don’t care if their renters get sick and are dying! It’s capitalism!

    31:59 how is this a revelation regarding an employer’s inherent indifference towards their workers well-being and ability to support themselves and their families? They still don’t care! They’re still enslaving people all over the world! We are enslaving the Chinese and many others, in order to get a “better deal” on merchandise! And not a whisper of concern is mentioned about it! Greed doesn’t care how rich you already are, it’s an addiction to profit that’s seen as “success” or “business savvy” but it’s a cancer that kills everyone.

    In United States history, the Gilded Age is described as the period from about the late 1870s to the late 1890s, which occurred between the Reconstruction Era and the Progressive Era. It was named by 1920s historians after an 1873 Mark Twain novel, although its publication was in the Reconstruction Era. Historians saw late 19th-century economic expansion as a time of materialistic excesses marked by widespread political corruption. source Wikipedia 😃

    I’m so so interested in how hormones vs genetics vs the sexual characteristics you’re born with affect conditions. After being on testosterone for 3+ years now I have noticed several subtle health changes. But my friend who is also trans has a chronic blaster condition that was completely debilitating for years until they started taking testosterone and they now can live a really normal life-moreover their doctor knew that higher testosterone does provide significant relief for this condition but never bothered to mention this because he assumed that they (presenting as a woman at the time) would rather be legally disabled than have the masculinizing affects of testosterone

There would still be an America if the hadn't come here. Also, the stories of the establishment of the other colonies is often neglected. Many of those were compelling also.
