Interested in history, fantasy, and traditional music. Combining the Radical Republicanism of the 1860s with the New Deal Liberalism of the 1930s.
You're right. I'd be willing to take a little from people's lawns to widen the sidewalk to an MUP, but I'm sure that would raise hell.

I like it, if you extend the MUP to 46th and Central you could rope in School 70.

A deep study of Midwestern Republicanism would be very illuminating. Since the mid 20th century New England has gone Dem and the South has gone Rep, but the Anglo rural Midwest has been at least R advantaged from the 1850s through the present.

additional crank opinion entertained for fun: we could outsource all of our historiographical debates to linguistics scholars and base periodization off of language. Irish history would be
Primitive: 300-500
Old: 500-900
Middle: 900-1200
Modern: 1200-1800
English: 1800-Present

Of course, this privileges a politico-military narrative that focuses on the relationship of Irish society to the English Crown. Other focuses would yield a different periodization.

I think Irish history could be periodized as an Early Middle Ages from the 5th century through the 12th and a Late Middle Ages from the 12th through the 17th, although I am unsure if the terminus of the latter should be the end of the Nine Years War (1603) or the Williamite War (1691).

More Seriously, I think the common answer of the early 16th century works because the discovery of America and the Reformation happen roughly concurrently. I would emphasize the former more if I were doing global comparative hist and the latter if I were doing Europe alone.

That's interesting.Does the existence of an independent executive elected to fixed terms, but subject to no confidence motions make it behave substantially different to the Westminster system?

A knife (particularly a pocket one) is the worst weapon for self-defense because you have to get close to your opponent and you can't ward off blows. Real heads know a stout blackthorn shillelagh is the only choice for the gentleman desirous of protecting his person or property against ruffians.

When the fellowship flees Moria it is mentioned that Orcs have been known to sustain long pursuits when one of their chieftains has been slain, which suggests loyalty. The northern Orcs, beyond the direct command of Sauron, seem to have a chieftain and warband culture distinct from Mordor Orcs.

I've heard "I left old Erin's bogs when but a child" from other singers, which definitely makes more sense.
