Nothing - it's a TV show and we should consider it a huge What if? Not trying to match our history/timeline to the IPs history/timeline.

Besides our history is starting to look worse than the Bell Riots. Just ask California governor. He may not have created a Sanctuary in San Fransisco but he is criminalizing homelessness.

His thumb in his pants. I feel like I've seen Abe (not shirtless) posing this way before. It looks familiar.

Or it's just because I dated a guy that would lean back like that.

I'm in my second half of life as I plan to live to be a minimum of 100 years old. Part of my plan, is to never retire from work. It made be an American thing but I don't think retiring is for me. I like working even when I'm not crazy about the job but I've gone back to school to get a Master's and just got a job more in line with my education. And I still have at least two more career changes. Working further into my field as a scientist and then probably end up teaching at the college level all the knowledge and wisdom I've gained in the field.

The best news I've had in the last few weeks is that someone thought I was at least 22 years younger than I am. I thanked them and told them I could be their parent. That totally freaked them out and they asked how is that I look and seem so much younger than I am.

My only explanation, I keep making friends regardless of that new friend's age. I keep playing video games, and reading. I also just walk and have a cheerful attitude towards life. Believing in myself, and a firm desire to live to be older than 100 years of age with the same passion for life I have had since I was 13 years old.

Lastly, I don't have a specific religion or belief in an afterlife so I've always intended to make the best of THIS life than worry about what happens when I'm gone.

This is the same argument that pro-slavers here in the United States were making before the Civil War that said no to that idea.

Well, I paid about $2500 for my hip in NC.

Sounds just like the ~~GOP~~DNC convention to me. I think that worm ate something in his brain that he can't discern the correct message to the correct party.

She's my heroine.

Not that I condone any of this, but consider that the cultural disgust of marrying a girl under the age of 18 is a more recent and modern taboo. Back then, in rural United States, it wasn't an issue at all. Heck as a Gen X kid whose parents were from the Silent Generation, my mother married her first husband when she was 16 and he was 22. She never thought it was an issue other than she regretted marrying anyone at the age. But her parents, church, and teachers didn't think it was a problem.

It's hard to believe because most people might say Elvis lived in modern society but he's not. The 20th century was full of changes that we don't really think about.

Where have they been? Trump has never focused on actual policy. Now they want him to do something that he's never before been able to do? Weird.

Oh, man, the next time my neighbor goes shooting off their mouth about how two men/women can't be good parents and the new childless BS I'm gonna look at him and drop this on him.
