I left those out deliberately because I was responding to Jill. To my
knowledge, Jill has never posted about any religious holidays other than
Christian ones.

There's all sorts of speculation - one pundit was guessing Germany.
We could also wonder if he's going to fill Prince Edward and Wallis

Montana and they equated the Democrats with Socialists!

Even if your opinion is that both the scoundrels should be shot?
Americans don't vote because they understand that it's going to make no
difference in their lives, one set of scoundrels is going to bone them
in the ass clockwise and the other is going to do it counterclockwise
but whichever way they do it you're still boned in the ass.
Eventually a man on a white horse is going to shoot the whole lot,
including the bureaucrats, cut taxes back to 10 percent or so of income,
cut out a ton of services, and be hailed as a hero.

We Democrats are socialist and what is wrong with that? Also those

You will burn in HE'LL! So those born stupid will believe it and religious

That happened with Rome. Dig through enough history and you'll find

Thomas Jefferson predicted a new revolution every few decades. It has
not happened so far. He was way off on that particular prediction. He
didn't expect modern republics to go through centuries long processes
the way Rome did.

The question becomes - Are we watching the decline of the middle class
or are we watching the switch of the middle class from manufacturing
workers to knowledge workers? I bet when the industrial revoluation was
happening they said the middle class was disappearing because farm
laborers were losing their jobs.
But evolution of the economy or not there is a lot of parallel with
Roman history.

Guitar nuts do two things - locate the string transversely across the
fretboard and it sets the action in conjunction with the bridge. Zero
frets divide these functions by using a standard nut to locate the
strings across the fretboard and a fret at the zero position to set the
action plus act as a bearing surface. I suspect that a zero fret system
allows for more even tension on both sides of the nut because of reduced
friction on the bearing surface and the metal strings. It also makes a
lot of sense to use the same fretting material for the open position
strings as for the fretted ones.
The downside is that most folks look down upon zero frets - typically,
it's associated with cheap guitars. I had a Vox Mark VI which had a zero
fret and it worked fine. I'll have to think about it a while to come up
with a more substantial technical reason why zero frets could be at a
disadvantage.
I wouldn't want a zero fret on a Les Paul or a Strat because I'm old
school but it's entirely appropriate on a Vox or Mosrite guitar or any
number of guitar makes.

In a republic the citizens elect representatives. The representatives

Most are parlimetary style. The US has a mixed style based on the Roman
Republic. France is closer to a simple republic if I read the brief
summaries right.
