Common sense isn't.
I previously linked to these pages when they were on the At-Home servers. Ironically, they survived the round one At-Home partial shutdown on December 01, 2001, but I downloaded a backup copy just in case.They are also stored at the Internet Archive.
On this occasion of At-Home's final shutdown on 2/28/2002, I am resurrecting these pages for our enjoyment and entertainment. I would credit the original author, except I don't know who it was.
I have only made a couple minor changes to make the pages work better here. Requires Flash player and sound for full enjoyment.
My old at-home down time data is archived here, and more recent at-home data until the end is here (archive 2006). Comcast results are not off to a very good start.
| Quote of the moment |
| The peace loving nations must make a concerted effort in opposition to those violations of treaties and those ignorings of humane instincts which today are creating a state of international anarchy and instability from which there is no escape through mere isolation or neutrality.... When an epidemic of physical disease starts to spread, the community approves and joins in a quarantine of the patients in order to protect the health of the community against the spread of the disease. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. ed. Samuel I. Rosenman, The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 13 vols., New York (1938-1950). FDR Speaks authorized editions of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), side 4, “Quarantine Speech” at Chicago, Illinois (Oct. 5, 1937), ed., Henry Steele Commager, Introduced by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). This was FDR’s famous speech in which he warned that the United States could not sit back and remain isolated from the “epidemic disease” of aggression. Despite support from 13 of the 16 major daily newspapers across the nation for some form of action, the President was unprepared to follow his statement with any prepared agenda for action at the time. He assumed that there would be an overwhelming negative press reaction and continued to merely warn Americans of the dangers the nation faced. ~ |
