And i think its a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology. If you look at the congress of the United States that has anywhere between a 9 and 13 approval rate, and look at the most common profession its lawyers, okay . With respect to the lawyers in the audience, i took classes at the Harvard Law School when i was there, so im not antilawyer. But if you look at the chinese ruling party, the communist, you know, committee there, the ten members there all ten of them have ph. D. S in electrical engineering, some sort of advanced violence right . So fundamentally, they understand science. And i think the lack of s. T. E. M.

Enough to write a vast symphonic work, to inspire a magnificent novel and bring down a great emperor. On this day of battle more russians died than were killed or would die of illness in the whole of the war of 1812 on all sides.

This also took the pressure off brittain and it released naval reinforcements from the british fleet in the baltic which had been keeping it open for trade the previous five years. Those ships and key personnel were moved across to the north american station. The british picked out the right ships and the ri
Box. But no, no, no. Im very happy and honored to be here with such a distinguished set of scholar and an even lovelier audience. Thank you so much to bill and to the White House Historical association, to the u. S. Capitol Historical Society and, of course, James Madisons mountpilyer for having me here. The slogan dont give up the ship, the figure of uncle sam, the star spangled banner, the proliferation of symbols that emerged from the war of 1812 constitutes a paradox. Though, as this conference demonstrates, much recent scholarship on the causes, conduct, and legacies of the war has produced fresh insights about the costs and gains of the war, even the combatants. At the time the treaty was signed, americans understood that peace gained them little and policy, International Power or territory. So on the one hand it seems contradictory that such a wealth of symbolism emerged at such a fectless endeavor. On the other hand, the very futile nature of the war. The victory that contempor
