Why were the United States at a low point before the 1980 Olympics?
I'm doing a project on Miracle on Ice, and I am trying to figure it out. I mean, I know the history and such (Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Iran hostage situation, etc.), I am just having trouble putting it into words. What made US self image so low during this time?
PS I am asking in politics because it will get more answers.
2 AnswersPolitics7 years agoCan't people just ban ammunition?
I don't support doing this, but it came across my mind. The second amendment says "right to bear arms", which is commonly accepted as meaning firearms. Well, bullets are not firearms, and individually are not weapons, meaning they aren't "arms"(closest definition is "a weapon, especially firearms"). Your thoughts? (keep in mind, I do not really support this)
14 AnswersPolitics7 years agoDoes anybody know the meaning of the phrase "Daintier Folk"?
It is found in the third verse of Emily Dickinson's "'Why do I love' You, Sir?" I cannot find any definition for it anywhere.
"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Because—
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer—Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.
Because He knows—and
Do not You—
And We know not—
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be so—
The Lightning—never asked an Eye
Wherefore it shut—when He was by—
Because He knows it cannot speak—
And reasons not contained—
—Of Talk—
There be—preferred by Daintier Folk—
The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me—
Because He's Sunrise—and I see—
Therefore—Then—
I love Thee—

2 AnswersHistory7 years agoWhy are people against the use of drones?
I mean, they have so many potential uses. They can deliver goods, monitor forest fires, aid in search and rescue, help with border patrol, can go into combat while the US Soldier piloting it stays safe, and so much more.

That certainly ruins the sanctity of marriage.
20 AnswersPolitics7 years agoHow come we can't compromise on anything?
I mean, Liberals want one thing, Conservatives want another. Why can't we sit down together and come up with a compromise?
14 AnswersPolitics7 years agoDo Conservatives really think that Obama is a Socialist and a Fascist...?
Because the last time I looked, those are complete opposites.

It's just something I have been wondering.
