Things together. I mean, did you say, im going to be a writer, and then all of a sudden you realized that your life was on the internet or. . No, i wrote offline, in print, for about 12 years almost exclusively, and its so funny. Colson whitehead has this recent piece about writers who complain that twitter and blogging is going to destroy their writing. And its actually a split that i never really understood much. I love print, and i like blogging and i like tweeting. You know, i like a lot of things. And so it never really struck me as being in contrast or even being a problem or, you know, it being two different worlds or anything like that. Its just writing. Hinojosa youre able to divide up your time so that you can blog at one part of the day and then write long form at another part . Uh, i dont even think about it like that. Its very unconscious for me. Hinojosa tell me how you do it. Well, im not good at much else, so thats the first thing, you know . I dont really have, like, o
Six battles to talk about how important and significant war has been in our history and who fights our battles. Alternately research to ask the questions when is it worth going to war .

George washington feared to rely upon the militia and a broker in staff. So whats the difference is here because i am sure what is an army . But militia were the men who are responsible to their stat
Much stronger position on tackles. There are strict rules about tackles that prevent a lot of injuries, particularly at the international level. Also, the absence of helmets , ironically, might be a cause cause for fewer concussions. Could you please talk about the difference between rugby union and American Union and american football, whether or not you have looked at that . And if you have not looked at that, take a look at the new Zealand Rugby union seem and maybe open up a dialogue with the National Rugby team to see whether or not you could learn something from new zealand and maybe they could play more games of the year. Thank you very much. Its interesting. I have heard from a number of folks. This issue is raised repeatedly. The biggest. Is the one you hit on about helmets, the absence certainly changes the way players tackle in the game. We we address this in the book. In many ways, the helmet has made the concussion issue worse. It is overpriced piece of plastic that has em
Reason why brave Young Americans are currently deployed around the world fighting on behalf of freedom. I urge my colleagues to keep int mind the meaning of this day throughout the consideration of this important legislation which will provide our many women in uniform the resources, equipment, and supplies and support that they need to keep our nation safe. Id like to extend my appreciation to the majority leader for his willingness to move expeditiously to the National Defense authorization act for fiscal year 2018, and for his leadership. I would also like to thank arme, Service Committee ranking member, the senator from rhode island, for his hard work on the ndaa.
