Permanent Tag: New York Rating: Good Hits: 132 Comments: 0 Crash Course US: Quakers, Dutch and Ladies Crash Course US: Quakers, Dutch and Ladies John Green teaches us about some of the colonies that were not in Virginia or Massachussetts. Old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can say; ENGLISH people just liked it better that way, and when the English took New Amssterdam in 1643, that's just what they did. Before the English got there though, the colony was full of Dutch people who treated women pretty fairly, and allowed free black people to hold jobs. John also discusses Penn's Woods, also known as Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was (briefly) a haven of religious freedom, and William Penn dealt relatively fairly with the natives his colony displaced. Of course, as soon as Penn died, the colonist started abusing the natives immediately. We venture as far south as the Carolina colonies, where the slave labor economy was taking shape. John also takes on the idea of the classless society in America, and the beginning of the idea of the American dream. It turns out that in spite of the lofty dream that everyone had an equal shot in the new world, there were elites in the colonies. And these elites tended to be in charge. And then their kids tended to take over when they died. So yeah, not quite an egalitarian paradise. In addition to all this, we get into the Salem Witch Trials, the treatment of women in the colonies, and colonial economics. User: loqi Feb 21, 2013 5:12 PM
Headline Tag: Music Rating: Amazing Hits: 705 Comments: 2 Nobody Beats the Drum: Natural Thing Nobody Beats the Drum: Natural Thing Nobody Beats The Drum are in the front line of Dutch electronic dance music. The three-piece electro outfit consists of Sjam Sjamsoedin, Jori Collignon, and Rogier van der Zwaag sharing the stage. While Sjam and Jori produce all the music Rogier produces all the video projections. Together, the trio delivers a uniquely unforgettable live audio/visual experience that has brought them high praise. To fully appreciate their fusion of breaks, electro, hip-hop and every other form of music that whips a crowd up into a sweaty, writhing heap of body parts, it's best to see NBTD live where the pounding music is enhanced by their one-of-a kind over-the-top visuals.

Unmoderated Tag: Politics Rating: Ok Hits: 194 Comments: 0 Amsterdam Residents React to Red Light District Clean-Up Attempts Amsterdam Residents React to Red Light District Clean-Up Attempts Amsterdam, famous for its tolerant attitudes toward drugs and prostitution, is clamping down on these activities by revoking licenses from some coffee shops and brothels. Legislation passed earlier this year will ban tourists from the country's coffee shops, and another law currently moving through parliament would raise the minimum age for sex workers from 18 to 21, among other new restrictions. Authorities say they are aiming to prevent human trafficking and money laundering, but critics claim the city's government is more interested in raising revenues.

We need Congress to do its job. We need real investigation of some of the abuses of authority that are apparently going on at the Executive branch. ... We've never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me.
