The best time to plant the tree you wish to rest under the shade of was several years ago. The next best time is now.

Difference between holding government accountable and outright saying government is always the problem. The latter only creates apathy among voters.

The expression you're looking for is "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" Not that it matters, it's all water under the fridge anyway, mostly a moo point.

Friendly reminder that the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is still essentially one billion dollars. Billionaires shouldn't exist

This is exceptionally easy to disprove with a five second Google search. Some of the container ships that were most recently attacked had panama and Japan flags. Please learn to think and read before spouting nonsense. What the houthi are doing is indiscernible from piracy

No. Northern states had already outlawed slavery, southern states were already pissed that Northern states weren't enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act, the newly formed Republican party had already been leaning towards national abolition, and Lincoln described slavery as an abhorrent sin. His election is what triggered secession, according to the very articles of secession by several states. They saw the writing on the wall that slavery was coming to an end of they didn't separate and form their own nation. The emancipation proclamation was just rushed as a way of allowing southern slaves to legally flee the south.ind you equal rights was a fringe opinion at the time, they weren't even treating white women as equals after all. But most northerners were repulsed by slavery at this point in history.
