iirc they decided to do the reboot after Michelle Trachtenberg died.

I'm not going to speculate about it, but I'd think that Geller and Trachtenberg were friends and I do know that Geller has resisted doing a reboot for years.

I've seen this idea from several sources. The British figured that American 'Manifest Destiny' would mean annexing Canada eventually. It didn't cost the Brits a lot to stir up Southern resentments against the North. So they South got played.

Many people believe that the British government actively pushed the south to secede in order to weaken the US.

Apples and oranges.

Vietnamese had been fighting for twenty years against the French and Japanese. The South thought they would achieve victory with a few battles.

I take it as a personal affront that there are grown adults who are ignorant of their own cultural heritage.

It's one of those things that sound reasonable until you actually spend a minute thinking about the details.

Minting money. Starting a post office. Borders. People who work out of state.

At about the same time, it was common to have White people play Asians on TV.

I think that first wife Ivana dressed him until he dumped her.

It doesn't matter, because what I enjoyed might sound terrible to you.

Like I said, two different jobs will have a similar skill set, and the book gives you a long list of all types of jobs. It even breaks them down by how much education you need.

[off topic?]

The Queen's Fool by Phillipa Gregory. The story of Bloody Mary, told through the eyes of one of her fools. The fool is a Jewish woman who has visions. Very well researched novel.
