It is interesting that while almost the entire body of copyright law deals with materials other then what is to be covered, the industry has enough clout to get their's singled out for the first criminal penalties for violation. This leaves the bulk of copyrighted material, printed material, photographs and the like open to being stolen as does nizkor for example. -=-=- The 2nd guarantees all the rest.

It's a pity you weren't right though, the 50 year gap in your memory pretty much blows your assertion as well as your reputation to hell.

CNN logo Navigation Infoseek/Big Yellow Pathfinder/Warner Bros Barnes and Noble Main banner [LINK] rule WOMAN, 80, PUT OFF GREYHOUND BECAUSE OF BIRTHDAY-GIFT PUPPY woman with dog November 23, 1997 Web posted at: 6:32 p.m. EST (2332 GMT) TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- The bus was a Greyhound, but the driver was no dog lover. An 80-year-old woman returning home from her birthday party was kicked off a bus at a rural truck stop late at night because of her birthday present: a tiny puppy named Cookie. Dogs aren't allowed on Greyhound and the driver refused to make an exception, leaving Antonia Sanabria at the side of the road about 80 miles from home at 3 a.m. Friday. A security guard summoned by the bus driver called Marion County sheriff's deputies -- adding to her fright. "When the bus pulled away and I saw all those policemen I was scared," Sanabria said. "I thought they were going to put me in jail. I don't know, I was crazy with fear. I've never gone to jail." What could have quickly become a terrifying ordeal for the woman, who walks with a crutch and has trouble hearing and seeing, instead became an inspiration. After getting her a sandwich and something to drink, police from different jurisdictions teamed up to ferry Sanabria all the way from the Ocala area to her Tampa doorstep in five different patrol cars. "I've never seen so many people so nice with me -- an old lady. They gave me love, respect, attention," she said. "Love has a lot of names -- compassion, respect, friendliness." As soon as she got home, all Sanabria wanted to do was sleep, which she did with her new 7-week-old Pekinese pup. When she woke up she found a bouquet of roses with a card that read: "We want you to know there are still some nice people in the world," from Hillsborough sheriff's deputies in Tampa who coordinated the relay. Greyhound apologized and gave her a refund on Saturday. The unidentified driver, a 20-year Greyhound veteran, was suspended pending an investigation. "It's unfortunate that a lady of this age and condition would have something like this happen to her in the middle of the night," said George Gravley, a Greyhound spokesman. Sanabria's daughter, Sally Creel of Panama City, was outraged, saying: "What a low-life thing to do." But after the police rescue, her mother was far from bitter. "It was a birthday I'll never forget," Sanabria said. Copyright 1997 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

You said you thought it started in the 1500's, going no later than the early 1700's. Bob retorted that he thought you were confusing the Renaissance with the Great Awakening. I chimed in by quoting Norton's Anthology which stated that the period was in the early 18th century. Take 10 minutes to "check the archives." >I did some looking around as well and other then Norton, yourself, and >whoever it was that made the original claim all references I can find to >the Great Awakening refer to the 1700-1750 event(s) as the first one to >occur in the America's. If I can find my Norton Anthology I'll take a >look at it, though it is 15+ years old. If you look back at my post, you will see that this is what I (and Norton) were claiming. The early eighteenth century = the early 1700's! Read my first post which included the quote from Norton's Anthology. In other words, we both agree that the Great Awakening ended by the middle of the eighteenth century (a.k.a., 1700's), not the middle of the nineteenth century (a.k.a., 1800's) as Bob was claiming. >> >Subject: 1st Great Awakening >> [...] >> > X-within-URL: http://www.fourthturning.com/html/great_awakening.html > > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >> > The Great Awakening (Second Turning, 1727-1746) began as a spiritual > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Second Turning" has to due with the cyclical theory that the authors of the web page you cited have written about. The fact is that they refer to that time period (early 1700's/18th c.) as the Great Awakening, not the Second Great Awakening. If you read the other pages at the site *more carefully* you will see that they were stuffing the Great Awakening into their theory under the category named the Second Turning (out of four, thus the site's name: fourthturning.com) Notice your Subject: line says 1st Great Awakening, but that you're using the parenthetically referenced Second Turning as a justification to contradict what I (and you) have been saying all along. What's going on here? How can we have any meaningful discussion on this list when we don't pay any attention to what we are writing or what others wrote?

My last comment on Great Awakening...
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, It has been claimed that the original claim by Bob and anonymous was that the first Great Awakening ended by the late 18'th century. This is a complete fabrication. The original claim put forth clearly references dates in the 1800's as the date of the first instance, clearly 50-100 years in error from the original Great Awakening that occurred between 1700-1750. In my original posting I (thought) made it clear that I didn't quite know when the original event occurred but was certain it ended prior to the late 1700's which would clearly pre-date the original claim. I subsequently took the time to provide references for those citation and clearly indicated where my memory was in error, and even took the time to explain my confusion regarding the 'Beacon on the Hill' movement. In responce Bob and apparently anonymous made it clear that they saw no reason to do 'homework' irrespective of the impact of historical accuracy on their claims. Make up your own mind on the validity of the claims. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
