Texas "was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery-- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits-- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which [Texas] people intended should exist in all future time"

Gee, what a hard question to figure out from historical sources, guess we'll never know what they were thinking...

RMTransit just did a video about how it's basically impossible to have good public transit without London-style city control.

The comments on his video list certain cities where the council own a bus company and everything works okay.

"The jury, he argued, was essentially allowed to conjure up damning evidence in their minds that may not have existed"

Well yes, that's exactly what the court will do if they find that you've been deleting evidence - they assume that whatever you deleted must have been damning to the case otherwise why would you have told employees to use "delete after 24h" communication channels?

If you have access to BBC content (the broadcaster not the big people) then I would surely recommend viewing the whole series there!
