BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

TEXAS INVADIDA POR RANAS VORAZ!



Batalla del Álamo :


Bajo el Presidente Antonio López de Santa Ana, el Gobierno mexicano comenzó a desplazar lejos de un modelo federalista. Las políticas cada vez más dictatoriales, incluyendo la revocación de la Constitución de 1824 en 1835 temprana, incitó a muchos federalistas a la rebelión.  La región de la frontera mexicana de Texas en gran medida fue poblada por inmigrantes procedentes de los Estados Unidos. Estos estaban acostumbrados a un Gobierno federalista y a amplios derechos individuales, y estaban bastante vocales en su descontento en cambio de México hacia el centralismo.  América ya recelar de anteriores intentos para comprar Texas,  autoridades mexicanas culpó a gran parte de los disturbios de rebeldes sobre los inmigrantes estadounidenses, la mayoría de los cuales había hecho muy poco esfuerzo para adaptarse a la cultura mexicana.
