New feature, need your help
May 14th, 2008 by Sharbs
Students, I need your help. I am testing a new plugin that allows the operation of a forum page. I have used forums in the past and found free sites that worked great. As these become more popular and widely known the advertising begins to takeover. I don’t like that. I need your help testing the new forum plugin.
What’s in it for you? Well, I wouldn’t ask you to help me out if I wasn’t willing to offer something in return. Read the articles and respond. Give it a whole hearted effort and I will raise your lowest test grade. How much? Well, that really depends on how awesome your responses are. Fair enough?
Check out the “simple forum” page at the top, or just click here. When you reply to a post you will have to find the sum of two numbers so the system can make sure you are human. Click enter and then save post. Thanks, and I appreciate your help!
The A-Bomb
May 13th, 2008 by Sharbs
Why did the United States make the decision to cause such devastation? It was not a decision to be made lightly. Here is a website that may help you understand the elements that went into the decision. Here are documents that were a factor in the decision.
A very intriguing essay that looks at various theories for the decision.
The only way anyone can judge Truman’s motives in dropping the atomic bomb is by analyzing the result of his decision. No one can know, even by reading his personal diary, the exact reasons he had for using the bomb. It was likely a combination of many: punishment, justification of cost, saving lives, and ending the war as quickly as possible.
