Today In History..................

In 1519..................

Hernado Cortes and his men land in Mexico. When he arrived he brought with him the economy-sized can of Whoop-A*s with him and the natives never recovered. Before beginning his campaign against the Aztec Empire he burned his ships so that his 600 men would know that there was no retreat. Just goes to show what a bunch of highly motivated individuals can accomplish.

In 1894.......................

The first "strip-tease" was performed in the Divan Fayonau Music Hall in Paris, France.
Military towns were never the same after.

In 1925.......................

The State of Tennessee passes a law forbidding the teaching of evolution. Who ever thought that one up never spent a Friday night in an Emergency Department. Doing that would convince you that Darwin was right, if you are too stupid to survive, you will not.

In 1964..............................

In Queens, New York, to the immortal and everlasting shame of those who were involved, 38 individuals did nothing in response to the screams of 28 year old Kitty Genovese. Ms. Genovese was raped then stabbed to death while screaming for help and the police. She had thought that by screaming it would keep the trolls away. She paid for her ignorance with her life. Unfortunately, the world is mostly populated by sheeple who would rather run away from or ignore the wolf at the door. The Genovese case shows that the only proper response is to fight back. You MAY lose if you do so, but I can assure you you WILL lose if you don't make a concentrated effort to fight the wolf.
