Peering in the hive mind can be really helpful, but it can also be so stupid it’s funny — Y’all… fair warning. I have a weird sense of humor. Probably because I’m Canadian. When you live where there’s snow half the year, and it’s hot enough to fry eggs on the sidewalk the other half, maybe a person can’t help being a bit off the beaten track. Anyway. Unless…

100 Years Ago She Asked Congress To Agree To One Sentence. They Said No.

100 years later, it’s still no. Here’s the sentence she asked them to agree to. I don’t understand why they said no. Do you? — 100 years is a long time.
