Well, I remember it thoroughly. It is not possible to not remember something you encountered every day in class Mon-Fri from the age of 10 to 17. Not only that half of the words in every European language (not just the Romance languages that are directly derived from Latin) have Latin or Greek roots, but the foundations of all modern legal/civic systems were established at that time, and a language (ie, texts written in that language in real time) gives insight into a culture established in that language like nothing else. Additionally, Latin served the same function in Europe for 1,700+ years as English serves now - it was the international language of science and politics (including religion, which almost equaled politics). Latin is not so much valuable as a foundation for learning several modern Euro languages, but as an instrument of insight in the nature of European civilization.

People are celebrating that Trump lost but the Democrats lots even more than the last 2 big contests. It's gonna be gridlock government. This is how dumb people are they vote with emotions and not logic. The POTUS is a symbolic position but it isn't the entire government. Trump couldn't do anything without the house and senate acting. The stimulus bill sits in the hands of the Senate Maj Leader and it already stalled due to the partisanship. Trump is actually pushing them to pass it and it doesn't matter who the POTUS is.

This election has proved the BLM and defund Police hurt the Democrats top to bottom and they are celebrating? Jokes on them they will be out looting again because there's no checks coming.
