Charles Drago Wrote:During my undergraduate years I took a Political Science honors course called History of 19th Century U.S. Foreign Policy.
The title of my thesis: "Continental Coup d'etat: 19th Century U.S.-Engineered Overthrows of Sovereign 'Native American' Governing Structures as Templates for U.S.-Engineered 20th Century Hemispheric Coups."
My professor rejected the basic premise.
I transferred to the English Department.
And the rest is suppressed history.

They marked your card very early on, Charlie....
Back in the days when Human Resources depts were called Personnel, and files were made of cardboard and paper rather than bits and bytes, the BBC attached a special sticky label to the personnel file of anyone suspected of subversive thought.
Rather bizarrely, that label was the image and shape of a Christmas Tree.
:canabis: No Christmas tree, you horrible little man...
I've never understood the symbolism, if indeed there was any.
Perhaps the marking of one's card was all that mattered...
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
