part of the treaty of var -- versailles took away bear corporation on heroin. it's a fact. i have a personal anecdote on this subject. my nephew passed away due to heroin overdose. it was shocking. not surprising. he was on oxycodone for a hand and nerve injury that required four surgeries and several hundred stitches. he put his hand through a plate glass window. he was on oxycodone for years and they upped his dose. ten in years in total on oxcy. he turned to heroin when they cut him off. he went to jail because he stole the prescription pad because they wouldn't up his dose anymore. he was still in pain. the war on drugs, you can't incarcerate your way out of this problem. i worked at a county jail. it's impossible to incarcerate your way out of this problem. we don't have enough taxpayers in america and enough prisons in america to keep people locked up that have a mental disorder that causes an urge for any drug. i want to point towards amsterdam, legalized, regulate and relab. this is solution to the drug war. republicans for lowering taxes get these peop

he's most famous for work in versailles and in world war i. he's also famous in loosing it all in the end. characterizations of his flaws, dorthy ross has written "all have described the qualities of his personality chiefly responsible for his failings in paris, as overconfidence, egotism, faith in his own judgments and powers and adherence to his principles, combined with ambition and desire for power. not the most positive characterization. yet, despite this, the history written almost entirely by white scholars reveals a strange insistence on lauding his intentions and motivations and i think a refusal to fully reckon with his impact and with the narrow range of speerchs, knowledge, and personal interactions that are he brought to his work in the white house. this leads to a series of kind of do you altis and excuses. wilson loved black people. it's just that he was a southerner. he rmd women. with it was just that he was so victorianian. he was a good doctor but he was such a passionate lover and he felt bad able to. he was an internationa

the naval act of 1919 got torpedoed along with america signing the treaty of versailles as we continueo sort of want to return to this prewar era of not spending a lot of money on military stuff here he that, of course, leads to the washington naval conference of 1921, which was the world's first disarmament conference. the european powers were not interested in spending money because they did not have any because of the first world war, and, quite frankly, we did not have the political will to spend on military stuff, so everybody met and decided how many battleships they were going to sink or cut up or turn into reasonably -- turn into razor blades. we did not think nearly as much about submarines as we ought to have. think enough about naval aviation, we did not really envision the use of naval aviation in the way that we would see that it would be used in 1942 through 1945. in the interwar era, the navy returned to its peacetime role of showing the flag. should leave half an hour for questions and answers, so i would like to say that that is pretty decent time management if you ask

this isn't quite the global issue and the treaty of versailles is full of race. it is not just the united states. second, wilson is a presbyterian and none of y'all acknowledged that. but presbyterians normally acknowledge their sin, which princeton has not done and, you know, part of being a presbyterian, which wilson was and defines him. i think gary wills years ago called him the presbyterian riche. it seems to me i've got monuments all around me and they tell me a lot about -- and my grandmother had to live right by the statue of lee, lee circle in an old folks' home. so i think you speak of wilson in your sense of privilege. i see wilson as a very different kind of person. so y'all acknowledgeds where you are coming from as well. that's a party confessing their sin. thank you. >> i'd like to push back a little bit. i'm elizabeth cogs from texas a&m, and i think we're underestimating woodrow wilson. he spoke for powerful discontinuities from the past and going back to the gentleman's point, i understand that he raised the expectations that therefore led to a
