@mynameisgladiator1933 Yes, because nothing says "communism" like a contest to see who can haul the most loads and running a pawn shop where you try to maximize profit from often desperate people trying to get a buck.

Grant was really good, but I'll agree that the history has for the most part left the building.

Lucy is a fun trip if you can make it. I brought my daughter a couple years ago to celebrate Lucy's 140th birthday. I just didn't know how close it was to the beach, so she didn't bring her bathing suit.

Just one thing: technically speaking Burr did not finish second in 1800. After seeing Jefferson sabotage Adams, both parties had unofficial pairs so the President and Vice President would be in the same party. However, this meant that Burr tied with Jefferson. What enraged Jefferson is that Burr didn't want to step out of the way, even though everyone knew Jefferson was supposed to be President. Because Federalists still controlled Congress (before the Twentieth Amendment, Congress and the President began their terms on March 4th, so the old Congress settled the election), Burr was hopeful that they hated Jefferson more. It took over 30 ballots for Jefferson to get nine states in the House to win.
