All in the Family featured the curmudgeonly Archie Bunker. Archie was television’s most famous grouch, blunt, blustering, straightforward and untouched by the PC crowd. He was the archetype of the conservative male. Michael desprately tried to reeducate him, but he persisted in his breviloquence.



Looking back at the last 40 years, we realize: ARCHIE WAS RIGHT!

Free Hawaii

Senate to consider letting Hawaiians pursue sovereignty.

The article is interesting for the points it raises.
1. The State of Hawaii was once a sovereign nation
2. They were forced by military conquest to become a territory
3. They then more or less voluntarily joined the USA
4. Some of them want out of the USA

I think we should let them go. I’ve got nothing against our 50th state, but they shouldn’t be forced to stay if they don’t want. Along that same line of thinking, we should free all the states that were more or less compelled to join or rejoin the USA.
