1669: First jury trial in American colonies convicts Marcus Jacobson of insurrection. Penalty: flogging, branding, & slavery.
And he got off rather good I say...! The poor chap...!
You'd say that... and, actually... knowing what happened to my ancestors... I agree!
1987: Passenger ferry Dona Paz & oil tanker Victor collide off Manila; 4000-plus people die.
That is absurd! Nothing this calamitous ever happens when a fairy matches wits with an old thinker... we fairies always outwit them - we never get photographed and nobody gets hurt!
Uh... "Donna"... if that is your name... you misunderstood a little and a lot there... I think... and I ain't no old thinker... and the name ain't Victor either!
1991: CIA task force stamps report on 'openness' as Top Secret.
*Cough* *Cough* But... we were open enough to promptly invade Panama two years ago - once Manuel Noriega was no longer useful to our beloved CIA!
Yeah... true... we did that one right in the open... because WE CAN! Geesh - I am proud to be an American!
