After seeing the colony freeze, go hungry, suffer plague, have it's foreign support removed, get swindled by outsiders, and eventually descend into near-anarchy, Bradford made the following entries:


All this whille no supply was heard of, neither knew they when they might expecte any. So they begane to thinke how they might raise as much torne as they could, and obtaine a beter crope then they had done, that they might not still thus languish in miserie. At length, after much debate of things, the Govr (with the advise of the cheefest amongest them) gave way that they should set corve every man for his owne perticuler, and in that regard trust to them selves; in all other things to goe on in the generall way as before. And so assigned to every family a parcell of land, according to the proportion of their number for that end, only for present use (but made no devission for inheritance), and ranged all boys and youth under some familie. This had very good success; for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more torne was planted then other waise would have bene by any means the Govr or any other could use, and saved him a great deall of trouble, and gave farr better contente. The women now wente willingly into the feild, and tooke their litle-ons with them to set torne, which before would aledg weaknes, and inabilitie; whom to have compelled would have bene thought great tiranie and oppression.

The experience that was had in this commone course and condition, tried sundrie years, and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanitie of that conceite of Platos and other.ancients, applauded by some of aater times; -that the taking away of propertie, and bringing in communitie into a comone wealth, would make them happy and $orishing; as if they were wiser then God. For this comunitie (so farr as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much imployment that would have been to their benefite and comforte. For the yong-men that were most able and fitte for labour and servise did repine that they should spend their time and streingth to worke for other mens wives and children, with out any recompence. The strong, or man of parts, had no more in devission of victails and cloaths, then he that was weake and not able to doe a quarter the other could; this was thought injuestice. The aged and graver men to be ranked and equalised in labours, and victails, cloaths, etc., with the meaner and yonger sorte, thought it some indignite and disrespect unto them. And for mens wives to be commanded to doe servise for other men, as dresing their meate, washing their cloaths, etc., they deemd it a kind of slaverie, neither could many husbands well brooke it. Upon the poynte all being to have alike, and all to doe alike, they thought them selves in the like condition, and ove as good as another; and so, if it did not cut of those relations that God hath set amongest men, yet it did at least much diminish and take of the mutuall respects that should be preserved amongst them. And would have bene worse if they had been men of another condition. Let pone objecte this is mens corruption, and nothing to the course it selfe. I answer, seeing all men have this corruption in them, God in his wisdome saw another course fiter for them.

I can almost garentee the interactive aspect of this is utterly neglagable for the vast majorty of people in the audeance.

Its the sort of thing that would be far more suted to a game. or would requre a gr8 amount of design and cost to do in evan a half decent way.


However as a live theatrical performance im sure its fun and it makes for something far more captivating to childran then a short video or display cabintes in a musium.


personly when i go to mueseums i like to look at objects in cabints that have good descriptoins next to them. and find the whole "exsperance " stuff that they put in modern musems to be realy porly concived and compleaty interlectualy lacking. For yong kids however itsa a gr8 way to get them involved in science and realy if you want facts and infermatoin we have the internet for that.

I just wish the goverment would subisdize stuff like this so its more affordable for kids in low oncome families often these new typs of museum things cost allot for a whole family to enter.

Making a film is as good of an excuse to get some street meat as any.

I enjoyed picking out the locations: Yonge/Bloor, Yonge/Shuter, Bay/Queen, Union Station to name a few... I may just have to cruise over to my guy in front of Sick Kids & grab one now!

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has something to answer for tonight. It is hard for this writer to escape the feeling that this summit was designed with every possible star aligned for ugliness to occur. The summit is held on a summer weekend, after university and high school exams are over; all the students are out and free and have time on their hands. Summer weather is perfect for a march. The summit takes place in the heart of Toronto: everybody in Canada has a friend in Toronto where they can stay during a protest.

And can we not say that assembling the greatest number of police in one spot in the history of Canada, and spending more on fences and security than Canada has ever spent before, has a provocative effect?

This writer is not condoning violence. I stood for an hour on the steps of Old City Hall today and looked down Bay Street at smoke and flames rising from burning police cars. I walked up Yonge and saw all the windows smashed. I saw the hundreds of black riot police massed at Queen’s Park. I saw the dozens of plainclothes police get out of unmarked cars and mix with the crowd, ready for trouble.

The city we know and cherish and love is on her knees tonight. There is nothing to cheer about. Many have something to answer for: the protesters, for behaving poorly, the media, for egging them on, and Mr. Harper, for choosing to have his summit at this place, at this time."

Yonge Street is now only 4 blocks long.

The problem with the Allen southbound is the way it bottlenecks at Eglinton. If you're trying to go East, good luck - the queue for the turning lane often ends north of Lawrence. >> ^Bruti79:

Better options include Mt. Pleasant or Avenue Rd.

Every time I come to TO and they've closed the DVP for some bike thing or parade, I end up taking Yonge to get downtime and cursing the whole way. Upvote anyway


Or the Allen.

Yonge street is almost 2,000 km long. Call me when they post the rest of it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
