Best Liberal Quote of the Day: On Conscience "Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it." — Albert Einstein
Stupidest Quote from the Right for the Day: On Christians Against Pluralism "The long-term goal of Christians in politics should be to gain exclusive control over the franchise. Those who refuse to submit publicly to the eternal sanctions of God by submitting to His Church's public marks of the covenant – Baptism and Holy Communion – must be denied citizenship, just as they were in ancient Israel." — Gary North, author of Political Polytheism: The Myth of Pluralism

Happenings at This Day in History
About a year ago I stopped making regular updates to this blog to concentrate on my Namnesia Antidote blog. While that is an ongoing effort, I am starting what should be about a year long effort to revitalize the concept of a "This Day in History" blog. I have decided to leave this blog intact and as-is, using a new "This Day in History 2.0" blog for my expanded and full version. Please feel free to email with your ideas. The two tables below should allow you to find a posting for the "Day in History" you wish to research.
