Walt Mankowski @wmankowski.bsky.social · 1hI'm old enough to remember when we tried this nonsense during the Oil Crisis in the 1970s. Everyone hated it and it was gone the following year. I expect more sense from your Canadians! 000
Walt Mankowski @wmankowski.bsky.social · 3hI'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me the point of an oath is the ceremony itself, not whichever magical document the person puts their hand on. If it were up to me I'd do away with the document entirely. 100
Walt Mankowski @wmankowski.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I've actually visited a lovely pub in Chipping Sodbury called The Boot. They had a snooker table, which seemed cool to me as an American. I don't remember anything else about the village so I suppose it's possible I was poisoned there. 010
Walt Mankowski @wmankowski.bsky.social · 10/10/2026If Britons need to see their pictures on banknotes to know who Churchill and Austen were, I think their history and literature classes might be even worse than America's. And I've never even seen a puffin or a hedgehog. Maybe this will increase nature tourism! 010

I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time." 2349921155
