Happy 420 Easter (also unfortunately Hitler's birthday), everyone! This week, a bit of a surprise: we had anticipated that our textbooks for the Christian-school market would lead off their discussion of the 1970s with a lot of excuses and soft-pedaling of Watergate, perhaps depicting it as the destruction of a good man by radicals in the liberal media. But we were wrong! There's almost nothing in their coverage of Watergate that you wouldn't find in a secular text. Once we got over being puzzled, it occurred to us that these texts are both products of the 1980s' Moral Majority/Reaganite camp, and so of course they'd have no particular reason to whitewash Watergate -- Nixon wasn't their kind of Republican anyway, so there wasn't much incentive to try to rehabilitate him in a textbook. Besides, the real fun will come after 1976, when they can bash Jimmy Carter and hail the Advent of Reagan.
And of course this inefficiency was all the fault of the hippie communistic environmentalists, because they held all of the key engineering jobs in Detroit and were therefore able to design the cars that way.
Good point on you. Negative point on the textbook writers. No new technology is rarely "just right" out of the box. The car I just bought (nothin' special, btw...not a hybrid/electric/diesel gets mileage my old Beetle could only dream about...forget my old Belvedere. I know, I know...I shouldn't be looking for accuracy here.

The story goes that you could develop film by dipping it in the Genesee River downstream from Kodak in Rochester.
It was a key element in the solar panels that Jimmy Carter put on the roof of the White House.
One of my fondest memories of the first Earth Day was participating in a huge demonstration that demanded that the US import more oil.

I, too, had a sort of visceral reaction to that blanket statement. But you&#039;ve said it better than I did. I said a swear, out loud.
And were given little trees in paper cups, which promptly died (the trees).
