How do we reconcile these changes and properly categorize?

By arming yourselves to stand at my back as we conquer Frankfort and declare me new King in the North.

We'll use the castle in Versailles as our staging grounds. It provides ample fortifications in case of a pre-emptive counter attack!

Giants live there.

They play tennis with very big balls.

The argument at the time basically revolved around whether modern cultural concepts were more valid criteria than the historical one of which states sided with which side in the war.

Kentucky had a strong contingent of Southern loyalists, but the state ran them out after what amounted to a failed coup on the governor or some shit (can't recall all the details now sorry), and Lincoln considered Kentucky the lynchpin of the war and the most important region to maintain control of due to its location and the fact that so many major waterways meet up near Louisville and so it was critical for supply lines from north to south.

Araysar's argument was that Kentucky after the war has maintained a more southern culture, and that from right after the way, many Kentuckians sided with the South during the Reconstruction era.

I dunno. At the time Iannis said something to the effect both are technically correct, and I still agree with that.

It was a troll that got out of hand, but I also needed a break at the time because I needed to focus on school more than as I was working through some of those harder calc and chemistry courses and really wasn't spending as much time as I could on it, so I just bailed for awhile.

Came back once the school work load was diminishing as I was headed for graduation.

Kentucky is still a strange state.

Its always gonna be.

At one time it was probably the most important state in the country because of the aforementioned waterways so critical to trade in the past, but after the advent of airplanes and trains, even though we still pass through millions of tons of goods a year in the locks up in Louisville, the rest of the country started passing us by.

Its cheap as dirt to live here though, even in the bigger metropolitan areas.

I think me and my wife are going to go watch Sausage party at 1. Tickets are cheap and the theater will be dead, and I just read a really good review of it by Friendly Atheist that says the main storyline is based on Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and that the movie bashes the shit out of religion.

Dick and fart jokes + philosophy + bashing religion = movie was clearly made for me
