HISTORY IN THE MAKING 2008-2016

Good luck!

We've spent a good many years discussing politics, life, society and history. Most of all, the makers of history. The great events that changed the world - people, places, actions. Small acts have changed its hard-worn course, and effort and circumstance can make of its small actors immortal greats. In line with that sentiment, it seems pertinent now to recognize the potential of those who've made up this community for years, obvious through their contributions to the spirited debate and discussion that has proceeded here. HITM has sadly gone silent, though perhaps not lacking for things to say about making history, but rather for the realization that it is time we all commenced to do so, and make our mark.

Good luck to you all, see you in the history books!

As one man once said, “We already dominate in football, basketball, and baseball. Who needs hockey? Pretty sad we're doing this well against a 'powerhouse' country that eats, sleeps and breathes hockey.”

Congrats on having more medals that any other nation (historically), Canada. But, IMO, Americans still deserve to win the Olympics. That, unless Silver and Bronze have no real value.
Unfortunately, Russia didn't do very well this year :(.

Canada has less people than California, yet they have more gold medals...

It makes you wonder how that could happen.

Surely a secret plot by Karl Rove and Bushitler to steal oil and enrich Haliburton.

Dick Cheney was the one with the Halliburton links. He got a huge "retirement" bonus, and look, the Iraq War was good for Halliburton... follow the money!

The Olympics suck. Now the Commonwealth Games, that's where it's at.

I've never watched those, TBH.

I should give it a try next time they roll around.

Me neither. But I just got BBC America, so I totally will (unless they just show more Gordon Ramsey).

Meh, the Commonwealth Games to the Olympics are like the Golden Globes to the Oscars, except nobody watches the Commonwealth Games.
