Do you want smoke in your eyes making schmores? I think NOT! -
Interesting Map of population growth
ExiledInIllinois replied to Greybeard's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Then McKinley got shot and they figured out how to transport that power. Read my links above if you have time. The canal might as well have been a 1000 miles away... It actually made matters worse for farmers not in canal district. Mix in the absence of religion... People forget Mormonism was founded in that Burned-over District. Natives hostile too. Senecas, not too friendly like the ones back east. -

The Burned Over District vs. The Passed Over District: http://elektratig.blogspot.com/2009/02/burned-over-district-vs-passed-over.html?m=1 "[T]he remote, agricultural New York communities that became bulwarks of Free Soil . . . barely resembled the middle-class, evangelical, and Whig locales of the famed Burned-Over District covering the western parts of the state. Many of them, in fact, were isolated and economically stagnant – more passed-over than burned-over.. . . Each of [the Free Soil] counties was rugged, densely wooded, and among the last be settled in the state. Shallow, acidic soil made traditional staple agriculture difficult . . .. As the crow flies, some of these communities were quite close to the bustling Erie Canal, but the famed “artificial river” might as well have been a thousand miles away. In fact, its completion in 1825 actually made matters worse for farmers removed from the canal district." -

LoL... I am still a bit skeptical, but you convinced me. To OP: Just burn that wood. And do what we did in Scouts when the campfire smoke got in your eyes. Say: "I don't like bunnies!" The wind will change and the smoke will blow in somebody else's eyes! Their problem now! -

Fly dump. It's the only way. One moral struggle for another. Betcha you have the good old stuff. It will leach arsenic into the environment. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es0514702 Actually, it probably has already. -

Yep! Mechanical a/c changed the whole game. -
See those #s trending up as we become more polarized? As a strong third candidate drops off? Anyway... It's Popular vs. EC. I wasn't talking less than 50%. That's a whole other beast. Has there been two winner take all elections in a row where the EC was on the other side of the popular vote? That means won popular, lost EC? EC decides. Trump tapped out his EC strategy. He needs to strengthen in IA, WI, MI, PA... OR MAKE in roads with other heavy working class areas. Just saying. The nation has been getting more purple out in red territory than it has been getting pink in blue territory in the last 90 years. Who? Has the report been released to you? Did you read it? Where can I find it in whole so I can read. Link?
