Spectral Imaging Reveals Jefferson Nixed 'Subjects' for 'Citizens'
Jamie points out this excellent piece, well timed for America's Independence Day, that says spectrographic evidence has established that the one word Thomas Jefferson fully blotted out from an early draft of the Declaration of Independence was not "resident," or "patriot," but rather "subject." This, he replaced with "citizen."
Yes, but this is slashdot... home of the knee-jerk reactionary.
Besides - most people here aren't citizens, they're subjects of whatever country they are from. We're constantly being reminded that slashdot is no longer an 'American' site, as if we are somehow to blame for them coming here.
An operating system should be like a light switch... simple, effective, easy to use, and designed for everyone.
ROFL, wow, interesting take... the south favoured slavery, not because they were filthy bigots who felt Africans were inferior, but simply because the poor bastards "required the extra labor for agriculture".
Lol.. That was a funny comment.
I especially like where you use Latin sounding names and words as if they were real to give the appearance that you were smart and exposing your IQ and not just a troll popping around message boards adding absolutely nothing to the conversation nor even mentioning part of the topic in order to elevate your measly existence of a life into something you are personally capable of accepting. I sure am glad that I am here to give you the chance to avoid killing yourself for one more day. Now go ahead and post something else that isn't even close to the topic so you can feel a little better about yourself. I bet it really hurt when your mom pointed out that they weren't laughing with you, they were laughing at you.
Hey, I got an idea, why don't you wait until tomorrow to reply.. That way you will have the opportunity to attempt to put me down again and thereby elevating yourself while not even touching the topic on hand and then you have another reason not to walk into traffic on a busy interstate. Well, best wishes to you, and don't forget to wear your helmet on the short bus.
