Dick van Dyke and Julie Andrews – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
An evening pause: With high hopes for the new year.
Hat tip Edward Thelen, who I thank for trying to offer me videos from a source other than youtube. Unfortunately, by the time this appeared, it was gone at that source and I had to rely on youtube.
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

Thank YOU Edward Thelen! For reminding us of this wonderful movie!
Happy New Year to Mr Z and everyone here.
While the US might not be given favorable treatment by much of the domestic pop entertainment world, check out the song/group featured on last night’s Japanese New Years celebration show (though on the New Years show the band was dressed in suits/tuxedos).

Is this the Ed Thelen of the Nike Missile Site ?

which is worth visiting (it’s been several years and I need to see what’s new)
The website might have taken the video down because of his name, it’s banned on some sites due to PC.
Charles R Chapman: No, I would be amazed if it was removed because of PC. This alternative to youtube was specifically formed to combat political correctness and the effort by youtube to silence conservatives.

–it’s a copyright issue.

20 seconds for example, would fall under “fair use,” but stealing the whole song is a no no.
