PBS is showing their Ken Burns Civil War series again. 

It is the 20th Anniversary of the first showing right?

I wonder if they've updated the documentary at all.  I would think that over the past 20 years Burns may have now figured out that Ashokan Farewell isn't the only song that has ever been recorded. :)

(not that I don't love that song, but still...)

Russians are superior to all at dying.
The map is misleading. It's using the radius of the circle to show the casualties, when it would make more sense to use the area. Compare Stalingrad and North Caucasus. There are only three times as many deaths, but it's a vastly bigger circle.

This was my initial reaction as well.

I got a belated birthday present yesterday.

A 20' flag pole.  :cool:

I just need the ground to that and we're off to the races.

:unsure:

While the Republic of China is a fine nation, and while my Asian neighbors might appreciate it, I rather doubt it.

I'll probably start with the Maple Leaf, then mix in Alberta / Manitoba / Yukon, and on special days when I want to piss people off, either the American or Israeli flags. :menace:

The Israeli flag is unacceptable, because I hate terrorism.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

So?  My country wasn't founded by terrorists.  In fact, my country was founded to fight terrorists.
