![]() [Shakers (rattle & roll)] ] Spontaneous dancing was part of Shaker worship until the early 1800s, when it was replaced by choreographed dancing. Spontaneous dancing returned around the 1840s, but by the end of the 19th century dancing ceased during worship. Services consisted of singing hymns, testimonials, a short homily, and silence. |

[You Say You Want A Revolution] Most revolutions in history never had a plan B. Take Afghanistan for example. The Taliban only knows violence and terror. As soon as they drove the Americans and NATO out they didn’t know what to do. And all they do is wrong. The Russian revolution left a vacuum and so did the French revolution. All these revolutions had the vacuum filled with the wrong people and the wrong government. The only revolution that turned out well is the American’s. Our vacuum was filled with smart, good, and well-intentioned men. |

Medicare is a great program, government’s finest, but like all major endeavors, public and private, they all need a tune-up now and then to keep up with citizens’ expectations. I’d like to see it expanded to include all Citizens. |

[Man of the Hole Dies] The last remaining member of an uncontacted indigenous group in Brazil has died, officials say. The man, whose name was not known, had lived in total isolation for the past 26 years. He was known as Man of the Hole because he dug deep holes, some of which he used to trap animals while others appear to be hiding spaces. The majority of his tribe are believed to have been killed as early as the 1970s by ranchers wanting to expand their land. In 1995, six of the remaining members of his tribe were killed in an attack by illegal miners, making him the sole survivor. Link |

[Crooks] Mykhaylo Chugay and his partners took advantage of that employee shortage in the hospitality and service industry and raked in tens of millions of dollars between August 2007 and July 2021, by running a collection of crooked staffing companies. The group swindled the IRS out of more than $25 million in income and Social Security and Medicare taxes that would have been collected and paid in connection with the wages. Link |
