And in that year of 1863, this was happening in Hawaii. It is a different perspective, the battle of Gettysburg is second from bottom. Very ironic, 30 years later, the concept of freedom had become military takeover of Hawaii. The news reporting the past week has really become strange. The Chinese launched, docked, spent an extended stay, beamed live streaming video to Chinese school children, and returned. Not a single major US news site covered it at all on their fron their front page. Not CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox. Not during the whole week.
