"This legislation admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a non-slave state at the same time, so as not to upset the balance between slave and free states in the nation. It also outlawed slavery above the 36º 30' latitude line in the remainder of the Louisiana Territory.

With the purchase of the Louisiana Territory and the application of Missouri for statehood, the long-standing balance between the number of slave states and the number of free states would be changed. Controversy arose within Congress over the issue of slavery.

Congress adopted this legislation and admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a non-slave state at the same time, so that the balance between slave and free states in the nation would remain equal.

The Missouri Compromise also proposed that slavery be prohibited above the 36º 30' latitude line in the remainder of the Louisiana Territory. This provision held for 34 years, until it was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. In 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional in its Dred Scott v. Sandford decision.

The document featured here is the conference committee's report on the Missouri Compromise."

An old friend once said "I like to see when men work" Just coming across Jose James a musician and artist I like the below picture; cleaned up with hair cut. Just my opinion, the song is his rendition but not the original. Peace, love and unity. - A.T. (Yoda) Brooks

Defining Closed Systems - Science Partnering with Faith 

"A closed system is a natural physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system, although – in the contexts of physics, chemistry, engineering, etc. – the transfer of energy (e.g. as work or heat) is allowed.

An example would be A classic example of a closed system is a sealed thermos bottle containing hot coffee, where no matter can enter or leave, but energy (heat) can be exchanged with the surroundings. "

Conservative Democrats Perhaps or Crazy Republicans

 Conservative Democrats Perhaps or Crazy Republicans. That is the question.

My leanings are more  progressive but I did listen to Mr. William F. Buckley Jr. without turning off the TV or radio. I love America. Will I get in trouble for speaking up and out? Maybe the fuck I will. Standing on our Rights as Americans any day! Look him up even thought he was coined a prejudice person on some issues; he was spot on regarding economics.

The Game of Truth or Dare

 The Game of Truth or Dare. It is clear when you are playing it. I am enjoying living not a life of perfection but still in paradise. A. T. Yoda Brooks

"Truth or Dare is a party game where players choose to either answer a truthful question or complete a dare, fostering social interaction and revealing interesting details about each other. 

Here's a more detailed look at the game:

• How it works: Players take turns asking each other "Truth or Dare?". 
• The player being asked chooses either "truth" or "dare". 
• If they choose "truth," they must answer a question truthfully. 
• If they choose "dare," they must complete a task or dare. 
• The game continues with each player taking turns asking questions or completing dares. 
Variations and Considerations:
The game can be played with any number of players. 
Truths and dares can range from lighthearted to more challenging, depending on the group's preferences. 
It's important to establish boundaries and ensure everyone feels comfortable with the questions and dares. 
Some people even use Truth or Dare as a way to get to know each other better, or as a fun icebreaker. 
Examples of Questions and Dares:
Truth Questions: What's your biggest fear? What's your favorite childhood memory? What's one embarrassing thing you've done? 
Dares: Do a silly dance, tell a joke, sing a song, or do a funny impression. 
Apps and Card Games: There are also apps and card games that facilitate playing Truth or Dare, with pre-written questions and dares.  "

Remembering a Champion of Peace.: Mr. Kofi Annan

 Kofi Annan passed away on August 15, 2018 however I respect his work so much. More champions of Peace this world needs today.

Here are some of his famous quotes:

• "To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there." 
• "Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family." 
• "Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a prerequisite for achieving a more just and sustainable world." 
• "More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny." 
• "If one is going to err, one should err on the side of liberty and freedom." 
• "You are never too young to lead and you should never doubt your capacity to triumph where others have not." 
• "In the 21st century, we need to choose between a global market driven only by calculations of short-term profit, and one which has a human face."
