Rep. John Dingell approaches record - elected first in 1955

My I was born in November 1954 .
"In 1955, John, Sr. died and John, Jr. won a special election to succeed him. He won a full term in 1956 and has been reelected 29 times, including runs in 1988 and 2006 with no Republican opponent. He has only received less than 62% of the vote on two occasions. In 1994 when the Republican Revolution swept the Republicans into the majority in the House of Representatives for the first time since 1954, Dingell received 59% of the vote. In 2010 when the Republicans re-took control of the House of Representatives, Dingell received 57% of the vote. Between them, he and his father have represented the southeastern Michigan area for 80 years. " ' (this from Wikipedia) -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dingell

A Message from Anonymous UK to the English Defense League

Reuters/ LONDON - Estelle Shirbon
Activists calling themselves Anonymous UK have posted on the Internet what they say are personal details of members of the English Defence League (EDL), a far-right group that has led an anti-Muslim backlash after a killing in London last week.


The EDL has staged protests and skirmished with police since soldier Lee Rigby was hacked to death in a London street last Wednesday by two men who said the killing was in retaliation for the deaths of Muslims at the hands of British forces abroad.

Police shot and wounded the attackers, both Britons of Nigerian descent, at the scene of the crime. One, Michael Adebolajo, is still in hospital under armed guard while the other, Michael Adebowale, was discharged from hospital on Tuesday and will be questioned by police on Wednesday.

Rigby’s killing galvanized the small but vocal EDL, which organized a march through central London on Monday during which about 1,000 people chanted slogans such as “Muslim killers of four streets.”

I wonder if the rise of Nazism and World War II (at least as we knew it) would have been avoided

if any settlement that ended World War I had been a bit more on German terms which I think one could reasonably speculate would have been likely had the U.S. not entered the war?

If President Wilson had resisted the pressure to bring the U.S. into World War I - what would the

world be like today? That was after all his campaign promise during the Presidential election of 1916. Would the world be a better place today if America had not entered the war to end all wars?
