  3.  @mikecaetano  "Indian" has been used like "Dutch" in Dutch treat, as in "not really." There is a phrase "Indian summer" for an early warm spell when winter isn't really over.

  4. Not how it went down. From the U.S. Office of the Historian. " President Theodore Roosevelt therefore supported the cause of Panamanian independence with the Canal in mind. His support paid off, and on November 18, 1903, the United States signed the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, establishing permanent U.S. rights to a Panama Canal Zone that stretched across the isthmus. Phillippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla, the Panamanian representative, entered the negotiations without formal consent from the Panamanian government, and had not lived in Panama for seventeen years. The Canal opened in 1914, but many Panamanians questioned the validity of the treaty. As the 20th century progressed, tensions between the United States and Panama over U.S. control of the Canal grew." A new treaty was proposed. "In the weeks after his electoral victory, President-elect Carter’s views on the Canal began to change. One of his closest advisors, Sol Linowitz, supported a treaty, as did Secretary of State-designate Cyrus Vance. The two men were able to convince Carter of the importance of a new treaty, and when he took office, Carter made concluding negotiations with Panama a priority and named Linowitz co-negotiator with Bunker."

  5. America built the canal at great expense and under Roosevelt had a treaty to control it for perpetuity. Both Nixon and Carter pursued a new treaty. "In 1973, the Nixon administration appointed Ellsworth Bunker, a seasoned U.S. diplomat, to lead the U.S. delegation. Bunker focused on ensuring perpetual U.S. use of the Panama Canal, rather than perpetual U.S. control of the Panama Canal Zone. Between the years of 1973 and 1976, Bunker and his team were able to conclude a series of draft agreements with the government of Panama that formed the foundation of the eventual Torrijos-Carter Treaties." - U.S. Office of the Historian

  6.  @robertadsett5273  France failed due mostly to yellow fever. "The disease killed many workers and caused the French to abandon their efforts to build the canal in 1889. The U.S. took over construction in 1904 and appointed Colonel William Gorgas as the Chief Sanitary Engineer. Gorgas's sanitation efforts eliminated yellow fever and malaria as threats to the workers." "Major Walter Reed led the team that proved yellow fever is spread by mosquitoes, which made it possible to build the Panama Canal."

  8. Love for Kamala Harris seems weak among those who dislike Trump. Her wisdom and young ideas never get mentioned.

  9. Uh, Carter oversaw the passage of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties which abandoned 75 years of control. Easy to look up the details.

  10.  @hendrikvanleeuwen9110  Except Carter actually oversaw the passage of a new treaty for the Panama Canal Zone and the canal. "It was a territory known to some who lived there as a tropical utopia. The Canal Zone in Panama had been under U.S. control for nearly 75 years. But in 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed treaties with Panama's leader, Gen. Omar Torrijos." - NPR

  11. It's good strategy for buying a car or a property. Some people don't even haggle, shockingly.
