Welcome to the forum. Please remember, though, politics are not to be discussed here. THere is a history club, since it looks like you're into history. :) Thanks, and have fun.

Welcome, welcome!

Those are some interesting coincidences you've brought up, however I can't comment much on them as I'm not a native of the US and as Ivy said, politics are not to be discussed here. Causes too much trouble...

Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy the forum, and I'll see you around. Have fun!! :) And I'd join that History Club if I were you... we'd love to have you!
