So what might be a good use for a half-finished building on the outskirts of BA?
1. Night club where they sell mixed drinks.  On 20 acres one can offset it where it does not conflict with a future school.

2.  Retail tobacco store selling the native product introduced to the American public by the Indians.

wouldn't matter how far they offset it, the law is based on property lines of the establishment selling alcohol, but doesn't matter anyhow if there isn't currently a school in existence.

Try Google on “tobacco” or a text book on the Mayan Empire or any source on one of the popular Native American contributions.

Sorry if that doesn’t answer your question.  If you want more information I have some in bound hardcopies gathering dust.

Would believe this question on land use will be settled by the high court in about two decades with BA being held liable for breach of treaties in the tune of several million dollars.

So the Irish potato famine was America's fault.  Why did all those immigrants come to the place that was the cause of their problems?

They came as prisoners of the English Courts and the women followed to form the red light district of Boston.   Their “john’s” relied on them to check if they were doing the right thing in establishing a government.  History had so many simple solutions.  Liken Shakespeare’s ladder where the climber upward turns his face.

English enslavement of the Irish was the problem in Ireland.  During the peak year of famine (around 1847), there was over 4 times the amount of food exported to England than would have been required to feed the entire population of Ireland - resulting in NO starvation on the island.  Roughly a million starved to death.  Another million emigrated to other countries - like here.

Just one of the reasons the Irish hate the English....


How could anyone here not know the origin of the potato and tobacco??  Public school graduates???

Quiz;
For 10 points extra credit!  Where is the tomato from?

I knew where potatoes and tobacco originated.  I can't speak to Oklahoma public schools.  I went to public school in PA.

Tomatoes come from plants purchased at Carmichaels.

No one else made a guess, so I guess you win the 10 points!  Congratulations!!!


For another 10 - anyone...what family are the tomato and potato from - the common name, not Solanaceae?  Too big a clue?
And why wouldn't you want to eat the namesake plant?
