Q. When did the common vernacular change from #GoodMorrow to #GoodMorning?
A. The shift from "good morrow" to "good morning" in common vernacular occurred gradually over several centuries. "Good morrow" was commonly used during the late #MiddleAges and into the Early Modern English period (roughly the 15th to 17th centuries). By the 18th century, "good morning" became more prevalent and widely used in everyday speech. This change reflects broader shifts in the English language and its usage over time.

The #SnyderActof1924, also known as the #IndianCitizenshipActof1924, is a significant piece of legislation in United States history. Here are some key points about the Act:
1. **Purpose**: The Snyder Act granted U.S. #citizenship to all #NativeAmericans born within the territorial limits of the country. Prior to this Act, many Native Americans were not considered citizens despite being born in the United States.
2. **Background**: Before the Snyder Act, Native American citizenship status was ambiguous. Some Native Americans had acquired citizenship through #treaties, #landallotments, or #militaryservice, but many remained non-citizens. The Act was part of a broader effort to #integrate Native Americans into #mainstream American society.
3. **Text of the Act**: The Act itself is quite brief. It states:
> "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all non-citizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States: Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property."
4. **Impact**: The Snyder Act was a significant step towards recognizing the rights of Native Americans, but it did not address other issues such as voting rights. Many states continued to bar Native Americans from voting through various means until the mid-20th century.
5. **Implementation**: While the Act granted citizenship, the practical implementation varied. Some states and localities resisted the full inclusion of Native Americans into civic life. It took additional legislation and legal challenges over the following decades to fully realize the rights granted by the Snyder Act.
The Snyder Act is seen as a pivotal moment in the relationship between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, symbolizing a formal recognition of their status as American citizens while also highlighting the ongoing struggles for full civil rights and sovereignty.
Voting rights for Native Americans didn't happen until #TheVotingRightsActof1965
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a landmark piece of federal legislation in the United States that aimed to eliminate various barriers to voting for #AfricanAmericans. However, it also had significant implications for #NativeAmericans and other minority groups. Here are some key points related to the impact of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 on Native American voting rights:
1. **Background**: Prior to the Voting Rights Act, many Native Americans faced significant obstacles to voting, including discriminatory practices such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and other barriers imposed by state and local governments.
2. **Provisions of the Act**: The Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to eliminate these barriers by:
- Prohibiting states from imposing discriminatory voting laws.
- Authorizing federal oversight and monitoring of elections in areas with a history of discriminatory practices.
- Providing for federal examiners to oversee voter registration and election procedures.
3. **Impact on Native Americans**: Although the Act was primarily focused on addressing discrimination against African Americans, it also significantly benefited Native Americans by:
- Eliminating #literacytests and other discriminatory practices that had been used to disenfranchise Native American voters.
- Ensuring greater federal oversight in areas with significant Native American populations, leading to more equitable enforcement of voting rights.
4. **Subsequent Amendments and Enforcement**: The Act was amended several times to strengthen its provisions and address ongoing discrimination. The 1975 amendments, in particular, extended protections to language minorities, including many Native American communities. These amendments required jurisdictions with significant language minority populations to provide bilingual election materials and assistance.
5. **Challenges and Ongoing Issues**: Despite the protections provided by the Voting Rights Act, Native Americans have continued to face challenges related to voting, including issues with voter identification laws, accessibility of polling places, and gerrymandering of districts. Advocacy and legal efforts continue to address these challenges and ensure full voting rights for Native American communities.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and its subsequent amendments were crucial in advancing the voting rights of Native Americans, alongside other minority groups, by addressing and reducing the discriminatory practices that had long prevented them from fully participating in the democratic process.

A WORLD OF #SOURCErors (source errors) #SPELLing (spell ing) #SepAration (split the breath/soul), a short essay
### The Tower of Babel: #Language, #Culture, and #Separation
### Introduction
The story of the Tower of Babel from the Bible serves as a profound allegory for the creation of linguistic and cultural diversity. This narrative highlights how language shapes our identities and interactions, creating both unity and division among people.
### The Story of the Tower of Babel
- **Unified Humanity**: Initially, #humanity shared a single language, facilitating cooperation and unity.
- **Ambitious Project**: United by their common tongue, they attempted to build a city with a tower reaching the heavens.
- **Divine Intervention**: God intervened, saying, "Come, let us go down and #confuse their language so they will not understand each other" (Genesis 11:7).
- **Resulting Separation**: The introduction of multiple languages led to the scattering of people across the earth, establishing linguistic and cultural boundaries.
### Language and #CulturalBorders
- **Terrence McKenna’s Insight**: "Language and Culture create borders" – The story illustrates how the creation of diverse languages disrupted human unity and resulted in distinct cultural identities and communities.
- **John Trudell’s Perspective**: "Every word has power, and every word has its own specific meaning" – New languages influenced thoughts, interactions, and worldviews, deepening the separation among people.
### The Evolution of Language: From Phoenician to English
- **Phonetic Roots**: The English language, like many others, is rooted in phonetics, tracing back to the Phoenician alphabet.
- **Phoenician Alphabet**: Used by ancient civilizations like the Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Aramaeans, it laid the groundwork for many modern alphabets.
- **Alpha (Aleph)**: Symbolizes oneness or spirit.
- **Beta (Beth)**: Represents duality or the number two.
- **Impact on Communication**: The Phoenician alphabet facilitated more efficient communication and record-keeping, contributing to the diversification of languages and cultures over time.
### The Metaphor of Babel
- **Natural Diversification**: The Tower of Babel metaphorically represents the natural process of linguistic and cultural diversification.
- **Challenges and Richness**: While multiple languages introduced barriers, they also enriched human culture by offering a multitude of perspectives.
- **Impact on Unity and Separation**: The story underscores the profound impact of language on human unity and separation, illustrating how language can both divide and enhance the human experience.
### Conclusion
The story of the #TowerofBabel is a powerful reminder of the dual nature of #language. It can create #boundaries that divide us, yet it also enriches our cultural tapestry by providing diverse perspectives. Understanding the origins and evolution of language helps us appreciate its profound influence on human civilization.

There once was a wave that fell in love with the shore. Her love was so strong, it woke her into realizing she was the ocean itself. With her new awareness, she took the minerals in the water and formed her legs and torso, and her arms, and a place to cradle her mind. Those first steps on the shore were ecstatic beyond all language. Just a few steps from the salty waters, and she began to notice sprouts from each of her footsteps. With each turn of wondrous beauty, this ineffable fluidity came to find herself surrounded by the very sunflowers that sprouted from her very steps.

Historically, U.S. presidents have generally been supportive of the military and veterans, recognizing the importance of their service and sacrifice. However, some presidents have faced accusations or controversies related to their attitudes toward the military or veterans, though it's rare for any to be labeled as outright "anti-military" or "anti-veterans." Here are a few examples of presidents who have had controversial moments or policies that were perceived as negative toward the military or veterans:
1. **Herbert Hoover**: During the Great Depression, Hoover's handling of the Bonus Army incident in 1932 led to significant criticism. The Bonus Army, composed of World War I veterans seeking early payment of a promised bonus, was forcibly dispersed by the U.S. Army under the command of General Douglas MacArthur, with significant violence. This event damaged Hoover's reputation among veterans [[❞]](https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/09/03/report-trump-disparaged-us-war-dead-as-losers-suckers/) [[❞]](https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/10/03/john-kelly-trump-insults-veterans).
2. **Richard Nixon**: Nixon's presidency included the Vietnam War era, which saw significant anti-war sentiment and criticism of the military. While Nixon himself did not disparage the military, his administration's conduct during the war and the Watergate scandal created a turbulent relationship with both the military and the public [[❞]](https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/09/03/report-trump-disparaged-us-war-dead-as-losers-suckers/).
3. **Donald Trump**: As mentioned earlier, Trump has been reported to have made numerous disparaging comments about the military and veterans, which has led to substantial controversy. These reports include calling fallen soldiers "losers" and "suckers," among other negative remarks [[❞]](https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/09/03/report-trump-disparaged-us-war-dead-as-losers-suckers/) [[❞]](https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/10/03/john-kelly-trump-insults-veterans) [[❞]](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-veterans-day-military-b2445558.html).
It is important to note that while these presidents faced specific controversies, it is an oversimplification to label them as "anti-military" or "anti-veterans" across their entire terms. Each case had complex circumstances and varying degrees of impact.

#TriggerWarning ⚠️🪖😑
Just to list a few.... List of US #atrocities against its own military members involves incidents where service members were mistreated, exposed to harm, or neglected by their own government. Some notable examples:
1. **Agent Orange Exposure**: During the Vietnam War, many US military personnel were exposed to the toxic chemical #AgentOrange, leading to severe health problems, including cancer, #birthdefects, and other chronic illnesses. The government was slow to recognize and compensate affected veterans.
2. **Atomic Veterans**: Military personnel were used as test subjects during nuclear weapons tests in the mid-20th century. These "atomic veterans" were often not informed of the risks and suffered from #radiation sickness, cancers, and other health issues.
3. **Gulf War Syndrome**: Veterans of the #GulfWar have reported a range of chronic symptoms including fatigue, muscle pain, and cognitive problems, believed to be linked to exposure to chemical weapons, depleted #uranium, and #vaccines.
4. **Walter Reed Army Medical Center Scandal (2007)**: Reports revealed horrendous living conditions, inadequate care, and bureaucratic obstacles for wounded soldiers at the #WalterReedArmyMedical Center, highlighting severe neglect of injured service members.
5. **Fort Hood Murders and Suicides**: Fort Hood has been the site of multiple tragic incidents, including mass shootings and high rates of #suicide among soldiers, bringing attention to issues of #mentalhealth, violence, and #inadequate support within the military.
6. **Burn Pits in Iraq and Afghanistan**: US military personnel were exposed to toxic fumes from burn pits used to dispose of waste in #warzones, leading to respiratory issues, cancers, and other long-term health problems. The government's response has been criticized for being slow and insufficient.
7. **My Lai Massacre Whistleblowers**: Soldiers who attempted to expose the #MyLaiMassacre in #Vietnam, where US troops killed hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese civilians, faced backlash, ostracization, and harm to their careers.
8. **Sexual Assault and Harassment**: Widespread issues of #sexualassault and harassment within the military have been reported, with many victims experiencing retaliation, inadequate support, and a lack of justice within the military justice system.
9. **The Tuskegee Airmen Experiment**: #AfricanAmericanmilitary pilots, known as the #TuskegeeAirmen, faced racial discrimination and were subjected to unethical medical experiments, including the infamous Tuskegee #Syphilis Study.
10. **Pat Tillman Friendly Fire Incident**: The death of #PatTillman, a former #NFL player turned Army Ranger, was initially misreported as enemy fire rather than friendly fire. The mishandling and cover-up of the incident by the military sparked outrage and scrutiny.
