    I've seen the copy on display the British Library. That means I am cool. Cooler than old_gregg.

      Impossible. Only Chuck Norris can make that claim. Wait...are you Chuck Norris?

        That is cool. Did you see the entire display? I've not had the privilege of going to the British Library. Do they have copies of the First, Second and of the 1225 reissuance?

        "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

        Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

          I saw one at Salisbury Cathedral in 1988, back when it wasn't so old. I have no idea which copy that makes it, but it was very cool to see in person.

            One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

              The 1215 original is on display. It's one of only 4 surviving copies. I don't know where the other 3 are. It was pretty hard to read, all blurry and faded like the Declaration of Independence and that old-school script is dang hard to decipher, so they have a modern printed version projected onto the wall that I spent a good chunk of time reading. They had a bunch of other Magna Carta stuff there, possibly the other editions you are talking about, but by the time I got done reading the text on the wall I was bored with the Magna Carta and went to go look at the original manuscript of Handel's Messiah (yeah, I know, I'm an uncouth barbarian).

                Well color me jealous. I think there is one in Lincoln, but I am uncertain where the other two are. It is remarkable that a document to settle a dispute between a hated king and a bunch of barons as mediated by the Pope became the symbol of rights to citizens of the land.

                  That's the best preserved copy, so way cool.

                    This is the whole board politically now. Not even IPU and Hallelujah worried about making sure they mocked what and how Obama ate, and we all acknowledged they were crazy politically. We as a country really need a great unifying candidate in 2024. Maybe and elder of Zion can appear on a white horse to save our country hanging by a thread.

                      You have my vote. I suggest Donny Osmond as your running mate. You in your pastel suits and him in his purple socks would be a shoe-in. When you win, I'd like to discuss some issues I have with the Forest Service...

                        That's funny. Yeah there is nothing unusual about Trump. Everybody here has just become political nutjobs.

                        • The ostensibly Republican president is casually threatening one of the biggest companies with increased taxes. Yeah, nothing out of the ordinary about that.

                            How many times do Trump's disgusting food choices and ugly orange skin need to be mentioned before he qualifies as living rent free in someone's head? 2024 can't get here soon enough.

                              WTF is internet taxes? I thought those were barred by the Internet Tax Freedom Act.

                              Maybe Drumpf is upset that Amazon has a low effective tax rate compared to his own?
