You don't like it? Boycott it. Ban it. Censor it. Silence it. Simple isn't it? Except who gets to decide that? Not everyone agrees. What happens then? Might makes right? Whomever has the power uses it and screw what others think? The American way? Seems so.

His power to pardon seems to be unlimited. Of course he will use it promiscuously and wantonly. He might pardon all those who have been imprisoned for hate crimes. What's to stop from doing that? A blanket pardon to all WHITES for everything and anything pastly or futurely. Would you be up for that?

However, I have never been invited to the person's place of work and I don't want to intrude. I originally had it set up to where the bakery was supposed to deliver it, which I thought was probably ok, but then the bakery told me they couldn't deliver because of some issues they're having, so I'll have to take it down. The items are special-ordered and prepaid, so I can't cancel. My current plan is to try to slide in all ninja-like and not get noticed or bother the person at all- just leave it at the front desk.Is that socially acceptable, super nice, or intrusive? less

It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE, were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits nearby Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. Other terracotta non-military figures were found in other pits, including officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians. less
