August 12, 1978

I was 16 then...too stupid and preoccupied to notice the rules bein' re-written.

Ok, after thirty seconds on the Google, I've discovered I'm especially lazy today...

...so, what happened on August 12, 1978?


BTW, I was only ten, so there.

Nothing really. That's just the day all of Henry's shit got real.

Wow

I'd go with September 17, 1787.

Coperate.

It always was. It's built right into our genes. Man is a gregarious animal, built for the tribe, cannot survive and/or thrive alone. Children raised without language from infancy can never speak. Children raised without culture from infancy can never be civilized. True hermits are extremely rare and come from abnormal psychology.

You win the thread

Your no-prize is in the mail.

First day back after a long hiatus, I can see that nothing much has changed. I suppose that's a good thing. Consistency is key. I think I'll just fade back into the wood work again.
