I have a quote from Thomas Jefferson in my signature line along those lines... Thomas Jefferson... "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." Bring back Liberty. We are heading down the wrong path in regards to liberty and tyranny. I asked some of the questions, that Dice asked, in my office and I got some of the same responses that Dice got. Not surprisingly, the people that didn't know, don't vote the same way that I do. I then went home and asked my kids the questions. They knew the answers and started telling me that July 2nd really should have been Independence Day, since that is when the founding fathers voted on it and that Adams wanted July 2nd to be THE day. Teach your children and we may be able to turn this boat around one day.

Happy 4th of July to all!! I found this interesting...

Man, that place is big. https://instagram.com/p/4owdW6tcNZ/

A good nickname/logo can bring a lot of $$ to the school, if marketed well. I think the consultants and the committee erred by including both Fighting Hawks and Green Hawks. Replacing the word Sioux with Hawks after the word Fighting is unimaginative. Almost as unimaginative as using the school color with Hawks. A lame weather phenomenon as a nickname/logo? Uh... No. Lame name and limited marketing potential. I just don't see am lot of $$$ coming to UND, marketing it as Nodaks or just North Dakota. With North Stars being a Minnesota thing, that leaves Roughriders. Of the seven remaining, I see it as the one with the most marketing potential and revenue generator.

http://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-by-era/slavery-and-anti-slavery/resources/was-slavery-engine-american-economic-growth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_gin In regards to the welfare system, you have generations of entrenched poverty where they know nothing, but the handout. Dads are not part of the family. Single moms raising kids with Uncle Sam as the dad. 72% of black babies are born to unmarried mothers. The break-up of the nuclear family can be traced back to the programs of the 1960's.

True!

Yes, that must be it.

Slavery is an ugly part of America's past, but was also what built America to become an economic power. Not proud of it, but is true. You can also trace a lot of today's social problems to the all of the social programs that the Federal government has implemented since the 1960's.

I do not consider either man to be a traitor. They were both fighting for what they thought was right and thought they had legal and moral justification to do so. The Civil War was about many things, not just slavery, not just because Lincoln won. There were social and economic differences between the North and the South. The South thought they had the right to secede according to the Declaration of Independence, "the right of the people to alter or abolish it". States rights was a major and probably the largest issue at the time. That issue is once again very prevalent. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Was George Washington considered a traitor? I'm sure the Brits considered him to be one. http://www.vahistorical.org/collections-and-resources/virginia-history-explorer/american-turning-point-civil-war-virginia-1/who

One of my co-workers made the comment.. They are pulling all of the Confederate flags out of Walmart, but leaving the beer and twinkies. Which is "responsible" for more deaths? I heard on the radio yesterday that the mayor of New Orleans now wants to remove the statue of General Lee from Lee Circle. Crazy! http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/06/lee_circle_statue_robert_e_lee.html

Just the Confederate battle flag or Confederate flags in general? The reason I ask, is that there are many places in the South that recognize the history of the South and still have the Confederate flag displayed. Pensacola is called the City of Five Flags, for the flags that have flown over Pensacola, one of which was the Confederate flag. All five of the flags are displayed in a monument downtown. I have lived in the South for over 20 years and there is still a strong sense of Southern heritage. When you drive along I-10 from Mississippi into Alabama there is a battle flag flying above the tree line. I'm assuming that it on private property, but you sure can't miss seeing it.

I understand this isn't an Indian nickname, but didn't want to start a new thread for it. In the furor in the past few days to remove anything to do with the Confederacy, the UNLV Running Rebels may not be around long. http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/mitch-mcconnell-to-kentucky-capitol-lose-the-jefferson-davis-statue-20150623

I have not been a supporter of the nickname Roughriders in the past, but see it as the best of the remaining 7 options. My biggest problem has been that it was not unique, since RRHS uses that name along with various professional teams and high schools. It is, however, unique in the college ranks, though. And there is linkage between TR, Roughriders and North Dakota. One of the highest awards given by the state of North Dakota is the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award. http://governor.nd.gov/theodore-roosevelt-rough-rider-award

If Arrows was rejected due to being Native American imagery. I am sure this logo would be deemed likewise.

Sounds like the Louisiana Jungle Primary system.

Jim, you are the math wizard. Put this into your "what if calculator" and see what the outcome would be using the numbers from the votes.... http://und.edu/university-public-affairs/nickname/6-15-15.cfm

Ditto.

Same could be said for Sioux. Souix,... Soiux...

Last time there was a guy who wanted to get in the race for UND president, but didn't due to ND open recorded laws. I believe he had just become president at Shippensburg. I wonder if he has an escape clause from UNI, if the UND position were to open. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ruud North Dakota guy and UND alum.
