On this episode of Why Whiskey I am solo and drinking scotch! I also take a break from the booze to talk about the War of 1812 or the second war with England. I discuss what caused it, where it happened, how it happened, and who won... if there was a winner. This war was the conflict that saw the US get invaded and our nation's Capitol burned to the ground. It also inspired the writing of our national anthem. Come join me as I drink Balvenie and Lagavulin 16 and chat about a lesser-known fight. Cheers.

One of the motivations behind the anti-slavery movement in the 1850s in the United States was the belief in the Slave Power conspiracy. Abolitionists and their allies argued that a confederation of powerful slaveholders secretly plotted to capture the federal government of the US and direct its might towards the preservation and extension of slavery. The abolitionists were wrong about one major thing: it wasn't that much of a secret.

This lecture focuses on the conclusion to Hannah Arendt's 1955 course lectures on the History of Political Theory, in which she uses the metaphor of the desert for our late modern condition. She also discusses the sandstorms of totalitarian movements, the lure of escapism, and four types of "oases" - Art, Philosophy, Friendship, and Love.

The diverse conditions of historical eras, and differing ideologies of America's people, gave rise to various political parties, founded to advance specific ideals and the candidates who represented them. Today, America is a multi-party system. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are the most powerful. Yet other parties, such as the Reform, Libertarian, Socialist, Natural Law, Constitution, and Green Parties can promote candidates in a presidential election. It is likely that political parties will continue to play a major role in presidential elections. Do you think our party system has strengthened or weakened our election process? Do you think the American people will seriously look outside the Republican and Democratic Parties to elect a president some day? What might cause this? Support this podcast
It's early morning, but plenty of people are out on the trail on this Saturday, which is sort of a holiday weekend. Independence Day in the U.S. was celebrated mid-week. The Declaration of Independence is dated July 4, and this is the date on which United States Independence is celebrated. However, this date, back in 1776 was not the beginning of the United States of America (USA) in a legal sense. A confederation existed, officially from 1781 when it was ratified by all thirteen states. The USA begins its existence in 1789 with the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Civil War, also known as the War Between the States, determined that the USA was a monolithic ruled state, and not a union of individual states with self-determination.

But I have been able to stay more or less at my target weight, despite eating out more than usual and preparing food at home for others in addition to myself. Also, I am out exercising. I don't believe it's impolite to do things in my routine, especially when guests are staying more than a couple of days. And my guests have indicated they feel the same way.

The role of psychological coercion within human trafficking was codified in the Trafficking Victims Prevention Act (TVPA). Hosts Seth Daire and JJ Janflone give an overview of anti-slavery legislation leading to the TVPA and explain why coercion can be hard to prove. JJ also talks about Colorado House Bill 1072 which amends current Colorado law to add better victim protection and claim affirmative defense. They close with a few words about Patty Hearst.
