HAMS Harm Reduction
"The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest."
John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

The Dark and Bloody Ground
The popular belief that the name Kentucky means "Dark and Bloody Ground" is apparently without foundation. Yet through the years, the image has persisted in literary and oral tradition as a description of the Kentucky country.
One traditional explanation sites Delaware legend in which the ancient tribe of the Lenni-Lanape allied with the Iroquois to fight the Allegewi, the original inhabitants of Kentucky. In a single bloody battle the Allegewi were virtually exterminated. The land where an entire nation had been eradicated became known as the "dark and bloody ground". The violent clashes between the Iroquois and the southern Indians only helped reinforce the image.
In his book, "Historical Sketches of Kentucky" (1874), Richard H. Collins says that a northern Indian once asked Indian fighter Joseph H. Daveiss how white men could live in land that had seen so much bloodshed. The Indian said that the ghosts of those killed in the Indian wars haunted the land making it dangerous.
At the execution of the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals the Cherokee Cheif Dragging Canoe is said to have told Col. Richard Henderson that the lands south of the Kentucky river were "bloody ground"and would be "dark and difficult to settle". However Ruben T. Durrett said in his book, "The Centenary of Kentucky"(1892) that the phrase was used to discourage Henderson from purchasing the land.
I tried test drive college online. I loved the instructor and the communication that was available. The thing that sucks, is you can only transfer your credits earned to one of their partner schools They fail to mention most of their partner schools tuition is extremely high. I was refered to a university that offered online courses for 1,800. I eventually enrolled in a University that is not associated with Test Drive college with a tuition fee of $700 per course. So, I learned a lesson and will think twice befor I commit myself to an online college that does not transfer credits to all other universities, only to their friends.
Thank you so much for pointing that out. I had registered to start a “free class online” but wasn’t able to complete due to personal problems. It would be ok for someone like me who wasn’t looking for a “degree”, just a little extra knowledge, lol. But if you are wanting to accomplish a “college education online” it would seem one should look elsewhere per your response. Again, thank you for posting that information!
