The land of flickering light came out june 2019. Here is a portion of his discussion from san francisco. You cannot accept a solution on climate. You cannot accept the policies where you put in a set of policies for the Obama Administration the other guys come into rip it out then four years later or two years later you put it back in and they rip it out. I dont think thats any way to regulate a Banking System or support education but and then to deal with climate that way so thats why i think as a definitional matter you cannot accept the current Political Climate in america and we are asked to build a coalition of americans outside of washington to overcome a broken washington. That sounds really hard and it is really hard but there are no shortcuts in democracy not of particular interest to me but the real question is can you win states like colorado iowa and arizona because if you cant you cannot make the kinds of changes you want to make. The democrats are putting forward ideas an
Afghanistan, and vietnam discussed the complexities of war. This is hosted by the Nixon Library and the Orange County navy league. Good evening, everyone. I am director of this program at Chapman University and i want to thank you for coming out tonight. Just over four years ago, i came to Chapman University from the department at west point. Studiest a new graduate program conceived by jennifer keane. Started from the presupposition based on comments from civilian policymakers and senior military that we were in an era of enduring war and had to undertake a study of the relationship between war and society. Moreover, it seemed few could argue war hadnt made an indelible impact on our National Character on who we are as americans.

We also believe our program

So the program we built started from the mission that we would examine the social, moral, and cultural aspects of how societies go to war, how they experience war, and perhaps most importantly how they deal with wars consequences. We also believe our program had global applications. In understanding the implications of war, by examining conflicts that have transpired as human phenomenon. We wanted to take a serious approach to the problems posed by war. Was for Chapman University to become a National Resource for practitioners, a Program Designed with the ultimate aim of understanding the role and the costs of war around the globe. That vision is on full view
Now, you remember last time or last week, anyway, we put a graph up here showing the result you probably get if you went around and asked everybody in the colonies at 25year intervals do you want to be independent of britain . And if you remember the graph shot up kind of like like this. Over the years. In other words, as the colonies move along from jamestown to 1776, more and more people, as time passes, decide that they are able to handle this on their own. They dont need to be ruled from westminster and eventually of course enough of them decide that to produce a declaration of independence. So that graph would make the revolution pretty easy to understand, right, its just like you growing up. You know, when youre 2, the last thing you want is your parents to dump you out the door and say, okay, now youve got to run your own life. By the time youre 12, you can see it might look pretty good. By the time youre 18 here you are. So if this graph is right then the colonies are just goin
