Today, each year more than half a million people from around the world visit Monticello, the only home in America on the United Nations' list of World Heritage Sites that must be protected at all costs.

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello is a superb collection of essays, adorned with beautiful color photography, that showcases this American treasure. Designed by Jefferson himself, Monticello is a model of elegance and symmetry. It is also home to Jefferson's world-class collection of art and porcelain from France, scientific instruments from England, the finest American furniture from Philadelphia and New York, and enduring furnishings made in Monticello's own joinery by enslaved craftsmen. The celebrated gardens and grounds form an experimental yet breathtakingly lovely landscape featuring flowers, fruits, and vegetables of the Old and New Worlds.

Featuring essays by Monticello's scholarly staff, this stunning book explores all aspects of Jefferson's home. A section on the plantation and the enslaved community at Monticello provides a larger context in which to place and understand the house, its activities, and its owner.

Resolved Question: Professionals or people who have dealth with child abuse...?
This is also posted in the Psychology section... I'm not using names or genders for either parent. I'm the step-parent of the child in question. My 5 year old step-child has been abused by the "other" parent. We have been through the courts and they have all but failed us. We had mental health professionals who asked to be subpoenaed so they could testify as to what the abusive parent told them was admitted to. My spouse kept a journal of events during their divorce when the child was 1 to 2 years old. There are events that happened where the child acted out acts of violence on a doll. The child also was admitted to the hospital for an inflamed hip. The abusive parent would not feed the child when the child was in the care of that parent. When it was time for the child to go to that parent all heck would break loose. Screaming, begging, tantrums, stomachaches; it was a horrible ordeal. The child said that the other parent threw the child into walls. Also the child said that the abusive parent would rub their head onto the floor. The child started counseling and the counselor contacted CS on the 2nd visit. The child is now no longer responding to therapy (it's been 7 months) so we are thinking maybe a psychiatrist or art therapist may help. The child loves the therapist but refuses to talk about anything. Info on the other parent. Diagnosed compulsive liar and borderline personality disorder. Not on meds. Very manipulative. Grew up in an abusive home where the parents beat on each other. This person can sound completely logical and can fool almost anyone. The exception are the professionals (mental health) or those trained in these issues. The other parent is remarried with step children living out of state. They often go to visit these kids and stay the night. They refuse to give us the address and are in contempt by taking the child out of their county (for more than 24 hours) without our knowledge or consent. After extensive searching online we have found a name of the grandparent but still cannot find an address. The other parent has been telling people that they want to move to this place. We do not like the child in question to stay there because; the other kids are thought to have been molested...and they all sleep in one bed. The child has been physically hurt there and abused by the other parent. After asking the child, the child clams up which is typical when they are told "secret things." Long story short. We had temporary full custody until the courts said that the child had to go back part-time with the abusive parent. Since then all the behaviors that had stopped during the child's time with us has resumed. The only exception is the screaming and crying. There are physical symptoms of stress present; diarrhea, stomaches. And the child will (about every other time they return from weekend at the other parents) not eat for up to 4 days. Child has been examined, nerves was the diagnosis. The other parent blames us saying we sent the child to daycare which is a stressor. The child has been going through separation anxiety with me when we get to school. Sometimes we literally have to pry the child off me and a teacher has to occupy the child with something. Often the child will cry in class for me. We are at a loss. Our attorney will not return calls. The other attorney will not return our attorneys calls. The other parent is not complying with court orders are we are sick of all of this. The child is in the middle; fear and love for an abusive parent. Suggestions, comments? Child services was involved. They said there was something wrong in the home but "they can't do anything." They only said if it was their child they wouldn't send them back. The abusive parent is now trying to convince the child that the abuse never happened. This makes for one confused child who things they are the problem. (more...)

Resolved Question: Fellow Pro Lifers: Should the US strive to have the least amount of abortions per capita than any other county?
Let's face it, we will NEVER have 0 aboritons (just like we have 0 rapes or 0 armed robberies). But we can try to get our abortions as low as possible, right? Wouldn't it be great to claim to have the least abortions per capita of the whole world? However, keep in mind that I DO NOT AGREE WITH ABORTION, and I think it is wrong, and i want to have as few aborted babies as possible in the US. Let's see who holds that title now: Belgium and the Netherlands, tied at 7 per 1000 women http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/25s3099.html But here's the thing: they both have legalized abortion. If, then, a country can only have an abortion rate that low (the united states has 23 per 1000 women) by having legalized abortiosn, wouldn't it be worth it, if it reduces the amount of abortions? Would you rather have a LOT of illegal abortions, or very few legal abortions, like these 2 nations? Since I care about aborting as few babies as possible, I choose the later. What about you? P.S. The country with the lowest rate of illegal abortions is Egypt, with 26 per 1000 women, which is higher than the US. EDIT: Egypt has 23 per 1000 women. Sorry. Still as much as the US. (more...)

Resolved Question: Why did Obama's cronies in Ohio illegally search Joe the Plumber's records?
Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles said his office is now looking at a half-dozen agencies that accessed state records on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher. The Beacon Journal has learned that, in addition to the Department of Job and Family Services, two other state offices ? the Ohio Department of Taxation and Ohio Attorney General Nancy Rogers ? conducted database searches of Joe the Plumber. John Kohlstrand, a taxation department spokesman, said he is prohibited from talking about individual taxpayers, but he confirmed that the databases were checked. Kohlstrand said that the AG's office wanted access to the records so they could turn over to the national media lien information that was a public record in Lucas County. He said the national media did not have reporters in Toledo, so the attorney general's office was helping them out with public records. LOL at Dems making excuses. It is not standard procedure and there is a criminal investigation underway. FACT. The inspector general began investigating after news reports surfaced that Helen Jones-Kelley, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, ordered her agency to conduct background checks on Joe the Plumber. Jones-Kelley had donated even more than allowed to Obama under Federal law. She is now under suspension. Liberals here are still defending this? wow. (more...)

Resolved Question: Does ACORN need to be investigated?
You want to know why all of these ... liberal organizations oppose photo ID for voting? You're looking at it. It's called ACORN. If you are required to have a photo ID, you cannot vote if you don't have one. Remember the situation in Georgia where they wanted to give everybody a voter ID, and the Jesse Jacksons of the world went down there and raised holy hell, 'No you can't do that.' State of Georgia said okay, we'll go to their houses, we'll go to where they live, 'cause Jesse Jackson said they're afraid to leave their homes.... Jesse Jackson said no. These people cannot stand government agents walking into their house, they won't trust it, they'll think they are being spied on. They come up with the most ridiculous explanations to avoid anything with photo ID, and this is why. Can't cheat. They want to cheat. They can't win on their own. They couldn't win very much at all on their own." [Emphasis Mine] This may be one of the most urgent appeals we've ever sent you. PLEASE read it carefully and act IMMEDIATELY! The integrity of our nation's elections in just a few weeks may depend on YOU and thousands more like you who are fed up with Chicago-style election hijacking. The media -- even the liberal media -- are reporting massive voter-registration fraud nationwide. And particularly in battleground states like Ohio and Missouri. Fraud by whom? By ACORN -- a gang of left-wing radicals who year after year thumb their noses at election laws and use mafia-style intimidation tactics against those who stand in their way. CNN's Drew Griffin reports from Lake County, Indiana: "ACORN's in trouble all across the country with it's a huge voter-registration drive. Actually, 1.3 million new voters registered according to ACORN. The problem is, are they really voters? Up in Lake County, Indiana, they're finding out they are not. Some 5,000 applications came in, all filled out by ACORN, and there they are. They went through the first 2,100 of them, every single one of them, fraudulent." On October 13, Fox News interviewed two newly registered young men in Ohio. One said he'd registered with ACORN 15 times! Another said he registered 73 times! Both said the ACORN canvassers pleaded: "If you don't sign I'll lose my job." The New York Post reported: "Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in Washington state history. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter forms. According to case records, they flipped through phone books for names to use on the forms, including 'Leon Spinks,' 'Frekkie Magoal' and 'Fruto Boy Crispila.' Three ACORN election hoaxers pleaded guilty in October. A King County prosecutor called ACORN's criminal sabotage 'an act of vandalism upon the voter rolls.'" And The Wall Street Journal reported: "In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, and Jive Turkey. During a congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained ACORN's practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier." This radical gang says IT'S ALREADY REGISTERED 1.3 MILLION NEW VOTERS for this year! But wait a minute! Will threats of further prosecutions really stop ACORN? HOW MANY OF THESE 1.3 NEWLY REGISTERED VOTERS WILL VOTE... SIX TIMES... A DOZENS TIMES? You and I can stop that from happening BEFORE November 4! (more...)
