read about whatever it was.


It was thought that 45 years before July 20, 2014, being July 20, 1969, would be a date that one would not really require looking at a YouTube video to recognize.

The first video was Petula Clark singing "'Round Every Corner", which contained the line "Man will soon be standing on the Moon above".

Manned spaceflight seems like an unnecessary waste to peterson and he is against it. Why would he (or an anti-American) see 7-20-1969 as important or significant?

My own hope is that religion will be cured overnight with a cheap pill. Leaving the problem of BC/AD of only very limited, academic interest.


That is a very European approach to an imagined problem.

=================================================

You are obviously so deranged as to imagine Peterson is Savard.
Perhaps if you didn't snip you could trace the author...
but nobody can explain sense to a ****wit like you, you've either got it or
you don't (and you don't).

to do.)
