Anyone have details on what this is supposed to actually do
What I've heard on YouTube is that people in Vancouver tend to make larger purchases in Portland to avoid sales tax. While this is technical illegal, it's rarely enforced. I wonder to what extent is this actually done. It's one thing to buy a laptop and save money on sales tax. It's another thing to buy a car which has to be registered out of state. Do people do that? How far to they push buying across state lines?
This show completely captivated my imagination. Because of this show at the ages of 7-8, I fell in love with history and culture. In Jr High and High school, I excelled at history, social studies, and geography. I college, I studying anthropology and archaeology before I dropped out. In my 30's, I finally had the opportunity to move out of the US to see much of the world. I owe it all to this show opening my mind.
>2. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” I stop struck with admiration at this thought. What shall I first say? Where shall I begin my story? Shall I show forth the vanity of the Gentiles? Shall I exalt the truth of our faith? The philosophers of Greece have made much ado to explain nature, and not one of their systems has remained firm and unshaken, each being overturned by its successor. It is vain to refute them; they are sufficient in themselves to destroy one another. Those who were too ignorant to rise to a knowledge of a God, could not allow that an intelligent cause presided at the birth of the Universe; a primary error that involved them in sad consequences. Some had recourse to material principles and attributed the origin of the Universe to the elements of the world. Others imagined that atoms, and indivisible bodies, molecules and ducts, form, by their union, the nature of the visible world. Atoms reuniting or separating, produce births and deaths and the most durable bodies only owe their consistency to the strength of their mutual adhesion: a true spider’s web woven by these writers who give to heaven, to earth, and to sea so weak an origin and so little consistency! It is because they knew not how to say “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Deceived by their inherent atheism it appeared to them that nothing governed or ruled the universe, and that was all was given up to chance.

While, his understanding of the mechanisms of atomic structures is arguably flawed, he is right when he says that living in a world where there is, "nothing governed or ruled [by God]" results in atheism (i.e. materialism). I wasn't expecting to read that.
Later, in one of his letters, he directly alludes to Homer's The Odyssey. I couldn't help but be surprised that he was genuinely well educated.
