He was still pretty well regarded until he killed Hamilton. Even the people that didn't like Hamilton shunned him for that move. Nothing like murder to make your political career toast. The funny thing is…..apparently this was all legal! Burr was not only never charged, he finished his term! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall (I didn't fact check), they had to go from New York (where dueling was outlawed) across the river to Weehauken, NJ where it was still legal.

mrflynn03 Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 As much as I love the $10 bill and other small demononations because more bills make the wallet fat. Hamilton was a Federalist and proponent of a Cental bank. Thats why he got shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah...he made some enemies pushing for a central bank, but it was his 💩 talking about Burr that got him challenged to a duel. "The two men had long been political rivals, but the immediate cause of the duel was disparaging remarks Hamilton had allegedly made about Burr at a dinner." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 July 12th, dd1960. The Ohio Art Company launches a new product, the Etch-a-Sketch. Frustrated kids for generations could not figure out how to make "fine art" with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Whoa... Shame on me for not checking this thread more often. But this is about to get shut down. Way too much for me to go back and edit. But some long term, respected posters are hanging on by a thread. I know these times are emotional, challenging etc. But this is NOT the place. It is blatant disrespect to this forum, and moderators to flip your nose at our rules. There will be ZERO warnings on this moving forward.

But from a trivia question perspective it has some good ones. Toni Basil was in that movie and I still get a kick out of that. And then there is Phil Spector...

The "right" reference wasn't intentional on my part, but I can't assure that it wasn't a Freudian slip... 7 months later, after figuring that this thread would bore me, I in fact got bored and found this. I picked up on the freudian slip right off. I actually did chuckle... In closing, I thank god that I was steered to pass by this thread back in January. He saved me again, against all odds.
