A potlatch is similar to a court case in that both are prohibitively expensive; both involve lengthy speeches and the vigorous examination and debate of the actions, rights and legal responsibilities of the participants. One has food, singing and spiritual rites; the other, not so much.

Ein Potlatch ähnelt einem Gerichtsverfahren, da beide unerschwinglich teuer sind. Beide umfassen langwierige Reden und die intensive Prüfung und Diskussion der Handlungen, Rechte und rechtlichen Verantwortlichkeiten der Teilnehmer. Man hat Essen, Singen und spirituelle Riten; der andere nicht so sehr.

Research shows that children do better in school and are less likely to drop out when fathers are involved. Engaged parents can strengthen communities, mentor and tutor students, and demonstrate through their actions how much they value their children's education.

Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam.

Giving more to women will, to some extent, come at the expense of men. People sometimes try to sweep that under the rug by saying you will create so much additional resources that everyone will be better off. I don't think that's true.
