In recent years, considerable interest in fetal hemoglobins has been stimulated by scientific and practical considerations. From the scientific point of view, learning about the mechanisms that regulate fetal hemoglobins may provide insights into the mechanisms that control the activity of various genes during development in general. On a practical level, understanding more about fetal hemoglobins may help in the treatment of hemoglobin disorders such as sickle cell anemia and Cooley's anemia. A large body of experimental and clinical evidence suggests that if fetal hemoglobin production could be induced in patients with these disorders, their disease would be substantially ameliorated, if not actually cured. Current research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of fetal hemoglobin regulation, with the hope that this knowledge will produce practical approaches to treatment.
This book covers, in a comprehensive manner, the current knowledge of hemoglobins in various stages of development in man and other species, and

Skip to comments.The Lesson of Alexander Hamilton
Posted on 05/28/2012 3:36:36 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic
How many things are in a person's pocket that they don't even know about?
We take money for granted -- most people can't tell us which way George Washington is facing on the quarter. They can tell us that Ben Franklin is on the front of the hundred, but they can't tell us that Independence Hall (where he helped draft the Constitution) is on the back.
One might think that as denominations get smaller and more common, the pictures on them would become more famous and well-known. The ten-dollar bill features Alexander Hamilton on the front. Since he was never a president himself, one wonders how many Americans could explain how he got on the note. A hint is on the back, where there is a picture of the U.S. Treasury. In short, Alexander Hamilton was the first secretary of the Treasury.
But it was how he handled that position that garnered him immortality on our money.
A lot of people living in the United States in 1790 believed (as a lot of people do today) that the debts incurred during the American Revolution should just be ignored. What modern people would think of as the United States didn't begin until 1789. The debts run up before that time were under a different government, so why should the new government be responsible for that debt?
Alexander Hamilton argued against this.
He believed that the new nation needed a good reputation on the international scene. If the United States was known to honor its debts, it would find it easier to get loans. Hamilton pointed out that this would be especially useful in a national emergency. Moreover, Hamilton wanted the federal government to take up all the state debt as well.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Wow! Thanks for the history lesson. Please add me to your ping list on American History. I love that stuff, and it doesn't hurt to read it over and over again.
Now they turn it into ethanol. It travels a long distance and we pay a lot for it.
I'm sure in his time, most in government were on the plus side of honorable, unlike today. The scale of debt in blue states like California, et al is staggering - they are run nowhere near anyone with any sense would call honorable.
What you are referring to is called "the assumption." It was intended to promote union between the states so that they would all feel more strongly bound to each other. When I first learned of it, I thought it was an excellent idea. It was just another way of saying "We are all in this together."
However, it was a one shot deal, and it was not intended to justify or forgive irresponsibility on the part of states who are behaving idiotically. California, Michigan, and other states which are following the Democrat model, not only ought to suffer the ravages of their own foolishness, I believe that it is our civic duty to make them suffer it faster and as horribly as we can make it!
What these people have been flirting with NEEDS to leave a horrible memory burned onto their psyche. The voting public who tolerates the Socialist/Communistic mindset needs to be made fully aware of what is WRONG with socialist ideas. If they don't feel the burn, they will never learn.
I have to say some unpleasant things about him. As the leader of the Federalists, he was one of the most important people working to form the US Constitutional government. He was an author of many of the Federalist Papers, and it is pretty obvious without his efforts, much of what did occur, would not have occurred.
However, Hamilton pooh poohed the concerns of the Anti-Federalists, and if you look at the Anti-Federalist papers, virtually everything they worried about came to pass exactly as they had expressed their concern, and completely contrary to Hamilton's dismissal of them.
All of the predictions of a draconian and out of control Federal Government turned out to be true. In many respects, Hamilton was dead wrong, and his opponents turned out to be dead right.
Washington's movement towards emancipation and opposition to slavery was not foreordained. He thought long and hard about the issue, and grudgingly and slowly moved from a position of pro-slavery to one of anti-slavery. I just ran across this link last week. Fascinating reading. It is basically the history of his transformation.
I agree.

Thanks Pharmboy.It's worth remembering that in 1801, when Jefferson became president, the US national debt was around $100 million, about 10 times annual federal revenues. This was literally "the cost of freedom," and would correspond today to a national debt around $30 trillion. Since our actual national debt is $13+ trillion, the government is in better financial shape today than it was in Jefferson's time. And at the time, Jefferson's number one priority was paying down the national debt. So, how did he do it? How does ANY wise government ever increase its revenues? Yes, that's right! JEFFERSON REDUCED GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND CUT TAXES.-- BroJoeKJust adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.
And I neglected to say, well said!
I rarely add my editorial comments when posting to this list, yet I have stepped out a bit on this thread. Further, I hate pedants, and try not to be pedantic, but alas, I do not always succeed.
Your Humble and Obdt. Svt.
"Actually, I believe this ordinance applied only to the new territories north of the Ohio, and of course the Northwest Ordinance a few years later did abolish slavery in this area. So I fail to see how the failure of this provision made a bit of difference."
Your point about failure was irrelevant. The point was that the "parasite" Jefferson was attempting to abolish that which you insinuate he was consuming. It was proof of the misdirection (and canard) of your assertion.
"How were the middle and northern state gentlemen you reference parasites?"
If you read back, I did not reference any "middle state" people as parasites. That was your accusation of Jefferson.
"In what way were they living at ease by the forcible exploitation of others?"
Well, let's see. Over 200 distilleries in those states converting molasses to rum. Dozens of shipbuilders, riggers, docks, Captains and sailors....all involved in the triangle trade....you remember that, don't you?
Oh, and don't forget the insurance agents necessary for the business, as well as the bankers, lawyers, and their politicians.
They sailed to Africa to trade their rum and guns for slaves, slaves for molasses in the Caribbean, and back to Rhode Island, Newport, New York, and Philadelphia to drop off the booty from their trade in humans.
"John Adams was an attorney. Benjamin Franklin was a wealthy retired printer and businessman. Livingston and Sherman were lawyers and politicians."
Yes, and they voted against making the trade in slaves illegal.
Ever wonder why? (Back up 4 paragraphs and see).
Sometimes it is best not to second guess someone.
Sir, you are too kind.
Actually Jefferson's interest was in liberty and freedom to pursue one's own avenue to life and happiness. Hamilton's was to use the government, central banking, debt, and trade restrictions to aid some at the expense of others.
Who would think this? None other than the most well recognized economist of the time.
In 1776, Adam Smith, writing in his work Wealth of Nations discussed comparative costs of production of various social systems. Smith insisted that,
"The mercantile system's (that system proposed by Hamilton and his party) ultimate object, however, it pretends, is always the same, to enrich the country by an advantageous balance of trade.
"It cannot be very difficult to determine who have been the contrivers of this whole mercantile system; not the consumers, we may believe, whose interest has been entirely neglected; but the producers, whose interest has been so carefully attended to."
"And among this latter class our merchants and manufacturers have been by far the principal architects."
"In the mercantile regulations,...the interest of our manufacturers has been most peculiarly attended to; and the interest, not so much of the consumers, as that of some other sets of producers, has been sacrificed to it."
Northern manufacturing benefited from the system at the expense of the exporting South.
And Hamilton supported the loss of liberty of the producers of raw materials as well as the consumers to the benefit of the manufacturing owners.
thanks for posting this
"Alexander Hamilton knew that the key to a strong nation is the management and handling of debt. His work not only allowed the United States to pay off the Revolutionary War, but it set the nation on the course to prosperity never seen anywhere else on Earth at any point in history."
Pretty impressive, eh?
Nonsense. The relevant section of the DOI had nothing at all to do with outlawing the slave trade. It merely (less than entirely truthfully) attempted to blame the King for the existence of the slave trade, as if it had been forced on Americans.
Here's the text of his rough draft.
he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemispere, or to incure miserable death in their transportation hither. this piratical warfare, the opprobium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian king of Great Britain. [determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold,] he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce [determining to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold]: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he had deprived them, by murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.
It is perhaps relevant that VA, even at this time, was a net exporter of slaves to the deeper south, thus had a financial incentive in restricting the competition of the Atlantic trade. The slave states further south had an entirely different perspective on the trade, which is why the Constitution protected it for 20 years.
Hamilton--a man who argued against slavery, while Jefferson paid lip service to abolition, though supported slavery in fact and in deed. Jefferson always impressed me as the first American limousine liberal.
Hamilton was a self-made man, and believed that helping to create a dynamic economy allowed others to move up. I never got the feeling that TJ felt the same...I could be wrong.
Arguing against 'mercantilism' seems to me to be arguing against capitalism. I think that today's analogous remark would be that not taxing the rich more would 'favor' them over the rest. Bah.
My distinct pleasure.
I went back to college in the '90s to finish my business degree, left dormant 40 years. I was stuck in a class of young things for orientation discussing "style" as it referred to papers, footnotes, end notes, etc. I asked a question, using the word "pedantic" and stopped the class cold. None of those sweet young things knew the meaning, or the usage of the word. LOL.
Thanks for that ping Pharmboy!!
Hamilton's primary effort was to establish a bank of the United States. He temporarily succeeded in 1791.
This national bank was a disaster for the general public, which was everyone in all of the United States.
By its end in 1796, excessive printing and therefore money creation by the Hamilton bank caused an inflation rate of 72 percent .
It became so unpopular that its twenty year charter was not renewed by Congress, which puts the lie to the author's assumption.
Hamilton's bank was fought by many in the government who knew that despite prosperity for a few, allowing him to continue would result in limiting public liberty with debt.
Jefferson was a prime opponent. Eventually it was permanently de-funded by President Andrew Jackson,
"Truth is sincerity; and in all we say and do, we must be sincere. We must not make false impressions, directly or indirectly.
"There are many ways by which we may mislead and deceive others by what we say. Some of the ways are:
1. Saying a thing when we know it is not true.
2. Saying a thing when we do not know whether it is true or not.
3. Prevaricating.
4. Misrepresenting.
5. Exaggerating.
"All these are different forms of untruth."
I think most here would appreciate you being more forthright in your postings.
Madison, who like most southerners who opposed the bank, started the Second Bank during his term, a point you omitted. He did it to stabilize the currency. So, even those against the creation of a central bank eventually saw some good in it.
My pleasure! Always nice to hear from you...
A few years ago I read somewhere that teachers of American history were given curricula that focused on the post Civil War era to The Vietnam era and excluded the Rev. War and the founding.
This was because it was deemed more importent to teach "change" rather than foundation.
It scared me then; it angers me now that i see the result.
The problem during the Articles of Confederation period was Continental Army vets and others that supported that effort were being stiffed. The unanimous actions for paying debts was a big problem. Some states gambled and bought up the worthless debt in exchange for state notes and then the states started stalling.
Shay's rebellion was largely brought about by debt issues most modern analysis has shown. Hamilton was trying to instill national confidence within as well as outside the nation.
His contribution was tremendous, but his personality as he grew older left him without enough defenders when the Jefferson tactics started.
That is right. But let's get some more facts stated, and then more clear conclusions can be drawn.
President Madison did not "start" the second bank. It was primarily six men who were working diligently on establishing the second Bank of the United States.
These six were financiers John Jacob Astor, David Parish, Stephen Girard, and Jacob Barker. Also there was Alexander Dallas, who would become Secretary of the Treasury in 1814, and Representative John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. These men helped author the bill for the bank that was passed by the Congress.
President Madison did not agree with the initiative and vetoed the bill in 1815.
This combination of businessmen and politicians would not take no for an answer. When Congress reconvened in December 1815, they used a Presidential initiative to bring the bank back up for a vote.
In this next term, President Madison urged Congress to address the question of a uniform currency. State banks had ceased redemption of their notes, mostly because of a lack of gold and silver. Madison felt that the time had come for Congress to introduce the country to a more uniform paper currency. The secretary of the Treasury agreed and in his annual report noted that a national bank would be the best and perhaps the only adequate resource to relieve the country and the government from the present embarrassments.
But when a vote on the bank arose at the end of January 1816, Madison vetoed the bank legislation again.
Taking up the question once again in February, the House of Representatives considered still another bill to create a national bank. Finally, after more debate, the measure passed the House and Senate, with Madison signing the bill this time.
By this time, Madison and the government were no longer faced with war financing, but still had to deal with the issue of establishing a stable currency.
Madison was not a proponent of repaying state debt, but was concerned with currency stabilization.
Absolutely. The depths of the ocean are now known, the depths of human ignorance knows no bounds.
But getting back to TJ and Alex for a moment, the former clearly disliked the northern finance-types, hated NYC when he had to live there (and, for those interested, if you go to Google Maps, plug in "59 Maiden Lane, NYC" and then click and drag on the little yellow guy in the satellite view, then put him in front of that address, it will give you a street view. As you look at the big "59" on the building, pan left and you will see a guy sitting on a bench and a plaque on the building wall in front of him: that plaque commemorates Jefferson's apartment).
At any rate, TJ did not like these city-types and really hated the speculators (interesting how BHO attacks the 'oil speculators' today, don't you think?). How much of the First and/or Second Bank were bad examples of crony capitalism I cannot say (although I'm sure there was some of that), but I also believe that just like Madison (an anti-Federalist cum Democrat-Republican), Hamilton's primary motive was to stabilize the currency and form a foundation for a solid economic footing for the early Republic.
Those are all good points. And I try to implement them in my life. Nothing I have said here has intentionally flouted any of these precepts.
Jefferson was making two major statements: the first was to condemn the King and his associates for underwriting and coercing the colonies to import slaves. The second was an effort to condemn the trade and gain support for the cessation of the trade.
Before their separation from England, many of the colonies wanted a cessation of the slave trade due to the fact that there was no adequate employment at that time for the Negro population. The British Crown refused.
When the separation took place, from that moment the New England States assumed the position, in regard to slavery, which Great Britain had previously occupied.
The evil of this traffic had become apparent to many of the people of the South, and when the DOI was being outlined, some in the South openly spoke for ways that would inhibit this traffic of importing human beings from Africa.
The New England slave-traders resisted the South. The New England States owned the shipping and distilleries, and were profiting greatly from the slave trade. They accumulated much capital in both.
As seen, Thomas Jefferson had developed his anti-slavery clause in the first draft of the Declaration. The clause was removed by John Adams (MA), Benjamin Franklin (MA), Robert R. Livingston (NY), and Roger Sherman (CT).
Thomas Jefferson had thus, as a Southern legislator and later President, introduced a scathing denunciation of, and protest against, the slave trade in the Declaration of Independence, but had no choice but to withdraw it upon the insistence of Adams and other New Englanders, and two southern states.
His personal notes from the debates included the following commentary:
"Congress proceeded the same day to consider the Declaration of Independence, which had been reported and lain on the table the Friday preceding, and on Monday referred to a committee of the whole. The pusillanimous idea that we had friends in England worth keeping terms with still haunted the minds of many.
"For this reason, those passages which conveyed censures on the people of England were struck out, lest they should give them offense. The clause, too, reprobating the enslaving the inhabitants of Africa was struck out in complaisance to South Carolina and Georgia, who had never attempted to restrain the importation of slaves, and who, on the contrary, still wished to continue it.
"Our Northern brethren, also, I believe, felt a little tender under those censures; for though their people had very few slaves themselves, yet they had been pretty considerable carriers of them to others.
Just as a point of reference, the number of slaves imported annually had dropped to approximate average of 18,000 during the decade 1770-1780. However, for the decade of 1780-1790, the yearly average increased to 55,000.
It is important to keep in mind that this trade was conducted in Northern ships.
That would have forbidden slavery in the Northwest Territories. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 did just that, after Jefferson had left for France. There's no indication that he supported abolishing slavery in the states or in the nation as a whole.
Thomas Jefferson developed an anti-slavery clause in the first draft of the Declaration. The clause was removed by John Adams (MA), Benjamin Franklin (MA), Robert R. Livingston (NY), and Roger Sherman (CT). The parasites were living in Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut.
That was more an anti-slave trade clause than an anti-slavery clause as such. And it's pretty bizarre, blaming George III for slavery and for "exciting" the slaves to revolt and murder the people he had "obtruded" tham on.
According to Jefferson himself, it was delegates from South Carolina and Georgia who wanted the clause deleted. He also blamed Northerners who voted with them. Roger Sherman was probably who he had in mind. I see no evidence that John Adams had anything to do with killing the clause. Is that something you got from the musical?
In later years Jefferson became a determined opponent of substantive anti-slavery efforts, seeing them as Northern aggression against Virginia, and caring more about slights to Southern honor than about human freedom.
The point surely is that none of the Founders was perfect. None of their ideologies was perfect in all things. The thinking of Hamilton or Jefferson or Adams or Madison can't be translated directly into a political program today without a lot of adapting and tinkering.
We can learn from them and be inspired by them, but ought to be aware of the differences between their day and our own. I guess the reverse is true as well. What seems to us now to be right might not have been possible in their era either.
Your claim that Jefferson attempted to outlaw the slave trade via the DOI was indeed nonsense. The DOI was a rhetorical instrument, it was not anything resembling legislation. Had his anti-slave trade clause been left in, it still would not have had any legal effect on the trade one way or another.
Thanks for admitting that deep south states wanted to keep importing slaves. Now if you will just agree that one reason some Virginians wanted to abolish the trade was partially to raise the value of their own "livestock," by limiting supply, we'll be more or less in agreement. The deep south states, of course, who were the market for the VA slaves, wanted to keep the trade going for exactly the opposite reason. They wanted to keep the price down.
I see that you are not a student of Adam Smith as annotated by your comment: "Arguing against 'mercantilism' seems to me to be arguing against capitalism."
What you seem not to know is that Smith's entire work was devoted to free markets, enterprise, and his dedication to the laissez-faire economy.
In simple terms, Smith was a free market capitalist. His work was in direct opposition to mercantilism.
The fundamental assertions of mercantilism, a term that I think he developed, were that national wealth will come through the import and accumulation of gold or other precious metals such as silver, and that trade should be based strictly on hard metals accumulation.
Smith was highly critical of this theory of wealth and he clearly understood the class bias and loss of personal liberty in the merchant system that supported it. In fact, Smith expressed great concern about colonialism, as seen in his home country, and the early history of the United States; and the monopoly trade routes instituted by the merchant class, which often worked against the economic interests of the citizenry.
So, let's examine the two.
On the issue of slavery, here is Thomas Jefferson's record.
Beginning with the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Jefferson introduced strong wording in the initial draft condemning the practices and processes of the slave trade.
In the Virginia Assembly, in the 1788, legislator Jefferson supported a bill to prohibit the state from importing slaves.
Next, in the 1784 Congress, Jefferson proposed federal legislation banning slavery in the New Territories of the Northwest.
As President in 1807 he signed a bill prohibiting the US from participating in the international slave trade.
And now Hamilton's actions:............
But let's look at who Hamilton was, and from the beginning:
May of 1867 finds that a convention was organized in Philadelphia to take up the issue of a united colonies constitution.
The delegates fell into three factions. There were Democratics, demonstrating constant dread of Federal encroachments, and advocating keeping the power of the Federal government at a minimum level.
The Democratic Republican faction wanted to invest the Federal Government with just enough power to make it effective.
Finally came the Monarchists, later the Federalists, who repudiated a Republican form of government.
Hamilton was strongly in favor of a government patterned after the European monarchies. He was totally against democracy, especially a republican form of government. He was the arch-Federalist who "hated Republican Government, and never failed on every occasion to advocate the excellence of and avow his attachment to a Monarchic form of Government, was so enamored with the British system of government that he called for the annihilation of the several State governments."
How did this manifest itself in his actions?
Alexander Hamilton dreamed of an alliance between a strong central government and the wealthiest businessmen. In 1791 when he first proposed the national bank, as the proposal was written, it was openly a Federal monopoly over the money supply, with government subsidies to businesses that were aligned with his party. His rationalizations for this relationship were based on more than loose interpretations of the Constitution that he used to justify his proposals.
Hamilton's proposals were resented and received immediate resistance. The Virginia House of Delegates declared that "in an agricultural country like this, to erect a large monied interest in opposition to the landed interests, is a measure which must, in the course of human events, produce one other of two evils: the prostration of agriculture at the feet of Commerce, or a change in the present form of Federal Government fatal to the existence of American liberty."
He also advocated the appointment of Senators and a President for life as well as the creation of a subservient House of Commons in order check the imprudence of democracy,
In addition to this, he suggested that the rich and well born should have a distinct, permanent share in the government because the mass of the people... seldom judge or determine right.
During a speech delivered in New York, he exclaimed, "The People! Gentlemen, I tell you the people are a great Beast!"
Alexander Hamilton foisted the argument that the government should undertake activities designed to make the nation more prosperous.
Others, such as Thomas Jefferson, saw that his ideas would consolidate power in the hands of the few, and argued for a more limited government that would not use its power to meddle in the lives of the citizens, thus respecting the concept of liberty.
You said this: "Tom sure didn't practice what he preached."
Not so.
You said this: "In his private life he was quite profligate. Always had to have the finest wines, books, furniture and scientific instruments from Europe. As a result he went deeply into debt, thus being unable to free any of his slaves since he had had mortgaged them."
And you know that how?
You said this: "Difficult to imagine a better description of a slave owner. A parasite indeed."
Those were all negative, mostly supposition, and pejorative. Not very honest comments.
He did not even free them at his death. Yes: do as I say but not as I do.
And Hamilton did nothing? He was a founding member of the NY Manumission Society (abolition of slavery). Here is the entire section on Hamilton and slavery from Wiki (they use much from the latest biography of Hamilton by Chernoff):
Hamilton's first polemic against King George's ministers contains a paragraph that speaks of the evils that "slavery" to the British would bring upon the Americans. McDonald sees this as an attack on the institution of slavery, David Hackett Fisher believes the term is used in a symbolic way at that time.[97]
During the Revolutionary War, Hamilton took the lead in proposals to arm slaves, free them, and compensate their masters. In 1779, Hamilton worked closely with his friend John Laurens of South Carolina to propose that such a unit be formed, under Laurens' command. Hamilton proposed to the Continental Congress to create up to four battalions of slaves for combat duty, and free them. Congress recommended that South Carolina (and Georgia) acquire up to three thousand slaves for service, if they saw fit. Although the South Carolina governor and Congressional delegation had supported the plan in Philadelphia, they did not implement it.[98]
Letter from Alexander Hamilton, 1779 Hamilton argued that blacks' natural faculties were as good as those of free whites, and he warned that the British would arm the slaves if the patriots did not. In his 21st-century biography, Chernow cites this incident as evidence that Hamilton and Laurens saw the Revolution and the struggle against slavery as inseparable.[99] Hamilton attacked his political opponents as demanding freedom for themselves and refusing to allow it to blacks.[100]
Hamilton, often in close association with his friend John Jay, was a leader in the anti-slavery movement in New York City following the Revolutionary War. They founded the New York Manumission Society to abolish the city's role in the international slave trade, and to pass legislation that would permanently end slavery in New York State. Both goals were accomplished by 1799.[101]
In January 1785, he attended the second meeting of the New York Manumission Society (NYMS). Jay was president and Hamilton was the first secretary and later became president.[102] Chernow notes how the membership soon included many of Hamilton's friends and associates. He was a member of the committee of the society that petitioned the legislature to end the slave trade, and that succeeded in passing legislation banning the export of slaves from New York.[103] In the same period, Hamilton returned a fugitive slave to Henry Laurens of South Carolina.[104]
Hamilton never supported forced emigration for freed slaves. Horton has argued from this that he would be comfortable with a multiracial society, and that this distinguished him from his contemporaries.[105] In international affairs, he supported Toussaint L'Ouverture's black government in Haiti after the revolt that overthrew French control, as he had supported aid to the slaveowners in 1791both measures hurt France.[106]
Hamilton may have owned household slaves, as did many wealthy New Yorkers (the evidence for this is indirect; McDonald interprets it as referring to paid employees).[107]
He supported a gag rule to keep divisive discussions of slavery out of Congress. He opposed the compromise at the 1787 Constitutional Convention by which the federal government could not abolish the slave trade for 20 years, and was disappointed when he lost that argument.[108]
End of wiki section.
Now tell me again: what did Jefferson do re slavery?
You blow smoke very well.
As I read your post, I was reminded of something from a book I am reading:
"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"
Since you are arriving late to the discussion, let me bring you up to date. We were discussing Hamilton's opinion and his ideas on banking. The issue of Jefferson was a misdirection executed by Sherman Logan when he used a personal insult of Jefferson to redirect the conversation away from Hamilton's monarchical ideas. I think he used the word parasite.
Nothing like a good ad hominem to stir up the pot, as I know you can appreciate.
So, your contentions have been already answered, and if you will look backward, you will see where you were wrong.
With regard to Jefferson's slavery clause, if you remember there were four others on the writing group, and many said a "sub group" consisted of Adams and one other. The clause removal has alternately been attributed to either the convention as a whole or those two. Most seem to think it was Adams.
"Your claim that Jefferson attempted to outlaw the slave trade via the DOI was indeed nonsense."
That is purely from your imagination. I stated clearly that he had included a clause condemning slavery in the DOI to show the canard in your characterization of Jefferson as a slave owner and "parasite".
I have no problem in the truth that there were some states, north and south, that wanted to keep importing slaves. I think you still do.
Beginning with the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Jefferson introduced strong wording in the initial draft condemning the practices and processes of the slave trade.
In the Virginia Assembly, in the 1788, legislator Jefferson supported a bill to prohibit the state from importing slaves.
Next, in the 1784 Congress, Jefferson proposed federal legislation banning slavery in the New Territories of the Northwest.
As President in 1807 he signed a bill prohibiting the US from participating in the international slave trade.
Sounds like a request for sources. What are your concerns?
Let me get back to you on that.
Perhaps you somehow missed what I said to you in my previous post, so allow me to repeat it: Jefferson had slaves on his plantation throughout his life, and lived well off their labor. Further, he did not free them at his death as did Washington (except for two of Sally Hemming's family); nor did he educate them--as did Washington. And here are a few more of his deeds (from Wiki, well-referenced):
In 1798 his friend Tadeusz Kościuszko, a hero of the Revolution, entrusted Jefferson with his American estate and will, by which he intended slaves to be purchased for freedom, as he strongly supported abolitionism. He died in 1817, but Jefferson never executed his will, although he could have freed all his own slaves with the money, at no cost to himself.[8]
And then there's this:
As governor of Virginia for two years during the Revolution, Jefferson signed a bill to promote military enlistment by giving white men land, "a healthy sound Negro...or £60 in gold or silver."[37]
While president, he refused to recognize the new nation of Haiti--because there had been a slave revolt there. Liberty for me but not for thee.
What a phony your hero was.
From what I've been able to find out, the "anti-slavery clause" wasn't deleted by the drafting committee but later, after the Declaration had been presented by the committee to the Congress as a whole. Jefferson blamed the South Carolina and Georgia delegations and some of the "Northern brethren" who benefited from the slave trade.
One source (R.B. Bernstein) says that Adams fought the deletions, and the timid Jefferson didn't really express his reaction to the deletions. Another (Gary B. Nash) says that Adams particularly approved of the language in the anti-slavery clause. I don't find anyone saying that Adams killed or tried to kill the passage either in the committee or in the Congress.
The Constitution that Hamilton worked to implement saved the Union. By it, Hamilton and other able men set us on a course that paid our debt without crippling taxation. Because of them, the world watched a largely subsistence agricultural nation develop into a second tier industrial powerhouse in a little over a hundred years.
Your cheap shots directed at such men are disgusting.

Ratings for Dr. Kevin P. Hansen
Sat in waiting room for nearly an hour, then in examination room for 45 more minutes. Assistant responsible for ordering medication failed to get it. After a month's wait, asked the office manager for help---she had it the same day. A physicians assistant administered the injection, beginning with lidocaine to numb the injection area. He injected too much, causing a lidocaine bulge in my skin. More lidocaine ran down my leg. A nightmare!!!!
He is a HORRIBLE dr. I came in with knee pain. He looks at my knee, presses on it a little, moves my knee and then the first thing he offers me a cortisone shot instead of trying to figure out what is really wrong with my knee. I had to ask for a MRI. I had my MRI the beginning of may 2014. It has been 3 weeks and I havent heard from him. I have left 10+ messages for him.
bad doctor. Having problems with shoulder and he doesn't even examines me when I met with him in office. Had to go to ER and the doctors were shocked he let me walk out
Dr. Hansen has treated 2 members of my family. He has been very caring and we've had full recovery of our injuries. I have been very pleased with our experience.
I had a shoulder replacement this year. One of the most difficult replacements to have. Dr. Hansen explained what to expect, did an excellent surgery, and was always available.
Dr. Hansen does not talk to you, his bed side manner is terrible.
Dr. Hansen is one of the best doctor's I've ever met. He was so kind and explained every aspect of my injury to me with patience and concern. He checked on me in the hospitol after my surgery several times, even coming in on his day off when I had a concern. I HIGHLY recommend him. I wish all physicians were as competent and kind as Dr. Hansen was. Good nurse and office staff too.
we had two broken bones in the house this year . We were at the ortho a lot. he was very nice and knew what he was talking about. Took the time to answer questions but you kind of have to ask the questions b/c he will not go into huge detail other wise. the office ran on time except for one appointment I had to wait but it was because the cast and xray rooms were backed up it happens but it was not a habitual thing where i always had to wait. Very nice friendly staff.

Diablo 3- PC
ON OTHER PLATFORMS: PC, Playstation 4, Playstation 3, Xbox360The game takes place on Sanctuary, a world of dark fantasy. Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants, Sanctuary was saved some twenty years ago from the demonic forces of the underworld by a few brave and powerful heroes. Most of those warriors who directly faced the armies of the Burning Hells -- and were fortunate enough to survive -- went mad from their experiences. And most of the others have buried their haunted memories and pushed the horrors from their thoughts. In Diablo III, players will return to Sanctuary to confront evil in its many forms once again.

The decision to suspend a controversial Catholic priest — and bring him back to Amarillo — has the ring initially of a story with many potential legs.
And make no mistake: This really isn't an issue that should concern only the faithful of the flock.
It well might reach well beyond the church.
At issue is a letter issued by Amarillo Diocese Bishop Patrick Zurek, in which he suggests that the Rev. Frank Pavone's involvement in a pro-life cause "has inflated his ego." The letter alludes to a significant business enterprise that has developed from Priests for Life, the charity that Pavone leads. Priests for Life, based in New York, "has become a business that is quite lucrative, which provides Father Pavone with financial independence from all legitimate ecclesiastical oversight." Zurek's letter refers to a "potential financial scandal" related to the charity's holdings.
And why the Amarillo connection?
Pavone had sought five years ago to build a seminary dedicated to advocating pro-life positions — as articulated by the Catholic Church — on land donated by the Amarillo Diocese. He raised tens of millions of dollars to build the center, but it never was erected.
One significant point of contention appears to be Zurek's assertion that Pavone hasn't provided a full accounting of the money he has raised, which Pavone denies.
There needs to be a public resolution of this conflict, given that much of the money at issue more than likely came from many people of all denominations and walks of life who adhere to the pro-life positions advocated by Pavone — and the church.
Indeed, abortion is an issue that transcends religious doctrine. It is a major part of the secular political debate as well.
And let's not be coy about another issue facing the church. It has been criticized from many quarters over the way it has handled the myriad sex abuse scandals involving priests. Critics have accused the church of being secretive and less-than-forthcoming as it has sought to perform what many observers have labeled as damage control.
This dust-up between the Amarillo bishop and a controversial clergyman might not rise to that level.
Still, this matter requires full transparency — all the way to its conclusion.

NITA is one of the top non-profit publishers of legal publications
in the world. NITA's references, texts, case files, and audio-visual materials are
used by thousands of attorneys and are incorporated into the curriculum at over
85% of the nation's law schools.
After suffering a seizure at work, the plaintiff, Jean Jones, was suspended without pay from the Kids-R-Ours day care where she worked. Jones suffers from epilepsy, which is a qualified disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This, however, did not stop the defendant from suspending, demoting, and then firing the plaintiff. Kids-R-Ours claims that their action was justifiable since Jones was a threat to the children. This is a well-balanced file where the verdict could easily be won by either party. There are three witnesses for both plaintiff and defendant.Law professors may request the teaching notes for this publication by emailing

Haye vs. Charr is Set For June 29, Hearn Agreement Made
David Haye's second pursuit of the Klitschko brothers will start against Manuel Charr on June 29, while the British heavyweight has confirmed a "long-term relationship" between his camp and promoter Eddie Hearn.
Hayemaker Boxing released a statement saying 28-year-old Lebanon-born Charr would be Haye's opponent for his comeback fight in Manchester.
Haye is making a full-time return to the ring after retiring in October 2011 - his only bout since then was a domestic win over rival Dereck Chisora at Upton Park last July.
He confirmed he was returning to boxing last month, though, and his opponent has now been installed, while Haye has signed up to have his fights screened on Sky Sports after his manager and trainer, Adam Booth, linked up with Matchroom Sport boss Hearn.
The statement said: "Former WBA world heavyweight champion David Haye will go head-to-head with next opponent Manuel Charr at a press conference this Wednesday, after agreeing a deal to fight the top 10-ranked contender on June 29 in Manchester.
"The much talked about heavyweight showdown will be televised live on Sky Sports and promoted as part of a new long-term relationship between Adam Booth of Hayemaker and Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport. It will mark Haye's first appearance in the ring since knocking out domestic rival Dereck Chisora in July 2012."
Charr, known as 'Diamond Boy', boasts a 23-1 record, with his only defeat coming when he was stopped by Vitali Klitschko in September last year.
A fight with either Klitschko brother, be it Vitali or Wladimir - who beat him on points in July 2011 - is Haye's long-term goal, and a face-off with Charr will get him on the road to becoming a mandatory challenger for the belts the Ukrainians hold.
Haye is ranked at number six in the World Boxing Council's ratings, despite his long exile, with Charr two places below him.
Hearn, the head of Matchroom Sport, has grown his stable dramatically over recent months, adding the likes of George Groves, Ricky Burns and Luke Campbell to a group that already consisted of Kell Brook, Carl Froch and Tony Bellew.
Groves - also trained by Booth - and Haye make up Hayemaker boxing and Hearn, who has exclusivity with Sky Sports, Tweeted: "It gives me unbelievable pleasure to announce we have agreed a long term promotional deal with @mrdavidhaye @boxingbooth and Hayemaker."
