Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs,
usually referred
to as simply Animaniacs, is
an American animated series,
distributed by Warner Bros.
Produced by Amblin Enter-
tainment and Warner Bros. Animation.
The cartoon was
the second animated series produced
by the collaboration
of Steven Spielberg and Warner

was done during the animation
renaissance of the late
1980s and early 1990s.
Animaniacs had a variety of music

educational lyrics, such as

Every once in a while you come
across something on the Internets
that’s so good you just have
to share it, no matter how old it
is. This clip of a game
show from 1956 hit YouTube in 2009, but
chances are you haven't seen
it. If that's true, stop what you
are doing and appreciate a piece
of living history right now.
CBS' I've Got a Secret featured
a panel of four celebrities
playing a modified game of 20
Questions, with each star trying
to figure out the contestant's
amusing, embarrassing or amazing
secret.
This particular episode, airing
some time in February 9, 1956,
featured a man named Samuel
J. Seymour, who at the time was the
last living eyewitness to President
Abraham Lincoln's assassin-
ation. Click on either

Kate Smith Introduces God Bless America (S735d)
From: lubin100 on 2/8/2011 |
Irving Berlin's "God Bless America"
Here Is a Real Star. In
case you don't know it, this
is the person that is referred
to as "The Fat Lady"
in the trite verbalization of
"It's not over till the
fat lady sings".
Kate Smith was born and grew
up in Columbia, Missouri.
In early 1940, Kate Smith, a
fiercely patriotic American,
and the biggest star on radio,
was deeply worried about
her country. She asked
Irving Berlin if he could give
her a song that would re-ignite
the spirit of American
patriotism and faith.
He said he had a song that he had
written in 1917, but never used
it.

Subj: How
Long Does The USA Have? (S569b)
From: AFine963 on 12/16/2007
About the time our original thirteen
states adopted their
new constitution in 1787, Alexander
Tyler, a Scottish
history professor at the University
of Edinburgh, had this
to say about the fall of the
Athenian Republic some 2,000
years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary
in nature; it simply
cannot exist as a permanent
form of government.
A democracy will continue to
exist up until the time that
voters discover they can vote
themselves generous gifts
from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority
always vote for the
candidates who promise the most
benefits from the public
treasury, with the result that
every democracy will finally
collapse due to loose fiscal
policy, which is always
followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's
greatest civilizations from
the beginning of history, has
been about 200 years.
During those 200 years, those
nations always progressed
through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"

Snopes.com
at Source2 has declared that the movie is
"Mostly False" because of such
things as the following:
| It's true that in recent
years population growth
in EU countries has been primarily driven by immigration, which, for example, accounted for almost 85% of the population growth in EU countries in 2005. However, that statistic includes all immigrants to EU countries, not just Muslims. |
