I first heard this song when my dad was in the middle of ALS destroying him. He was always a "it aint over until its over" kind of guy, this song really hit me hard and even years after losing him, i come back to hear the wise words "there is no such thing as a dying man we're alive til the moment we are dead, a drowning man is just a living man who hasnt run out of his last bit of breath" and it somehow makes me feel like he was okay with it finally being over. He was a tough guy, but he never shied away from showing his kids love and support even when he was the one who needed it most. Im rambling but, I guess i just had to vent these feelings out somewhere. I love you dad

@@PaulZink Hmmmm. Kinda like Deutschland Uber Alles was "a joyful expression of the traditional Teutonic spirt". Those lyrics needed to end. There are ways to be joyful about the good things the Fair College stands for other than by eulogizing Lord Jeffrey Amherst, for Chrissake. Amherst was a great school, and great time, for me, all things considered. But some traditions need to expire in their old form, and be re-formed. Not all, but a few.

I’m here because of the same C.S. Forester story. But I did read that Amherst’s use of smallpox blankets was the ONLY documented case of their use against Native Americans. I hope it isn’t true because I grew up in Amherstburg Ontario, Canada.
@PaulZink2 жыл бұрын
Rest easy, Maureen. General Amherst did write in a letter that he thought it was an excellent idea and suitable method to "eradicate that execrable race" (indigenous peoples). However, there is no evidence whatsoever that he implemented the actual use of infected blankets or was involved with such implementation.

@@PaulZink And there's more--from modern medical analysis of smallpox epidemics in history. Turns out using blankets that smallpox patients used can't spread the disease anyway! Viruses can't survive the open air more than a few seconds. It takes close contact with an infected person, so little droplets in the breath can pass from the infected to the uninfected. (The letter also may not even be genuine.)
