Good answer.

The pot calling the kettle black.

Well if "Take him out," means drops a daisy cutter on him-maybe, depends on how many civies are around. I'd really like to see the mofo arrested, his regime torn apart, then, when there's a new leadership in Iraq-return him to stand trial. He killed his own people, he should answer to them...

In photography the Inverse Square Law (I hope I get this right, I sold back the textbook that had it.) of light stats that, when you have light emanating from a source-say in this case a hand-held strobe, as the distance doubles, the light falls off by the degree of increased distance squared...

I had no idea one guy making an ass out of himself on TV would create so much back and forth. It's not like he fell down the steps of Air Force One or anything.

Yes, other countries have different laws governing criminal procedure. But this could get us into some topics that are such big, ugly cans of poisonous snakes that even I won't tread there. Yes a terrorist act has no real impact for the group unless people know who they are supposed to be...

I was thinking more along the line of "dismanteling the republic in order to save it," but Jumper'sopinion also works. Re: Bali. I wouldn't be surprised if the Indonesian police broke out the thumbscrews for those "interviews," think about it, you're a terrorist who's just pulled off what...

Are lasers affected by the inverse square law of light?

On the flag issue- I do have a tiny American flag on my door-inverted. This is applicable because I believe we are in a state of extreme national distress. (Under the Flag Code, it is only permissable to invert the US flag in case of extreme danger to life and property.) The flag is a...

Oh, I thought it was in the US. Here flag burning is legal but considered extremely distateful. (Surpreme Court case : Texas v. Johnson) It doesn't happen much because most protestors realize that it just pisses off people who might have listened to you. One of my big pet-peeves with a lot...

"Bravely bold Sir Robin, bravely, bravely, ran away..."

When/where were they burning the flag? I didn't see or hear about that at DC. But there were a load of people there. On the other hand, if there was violence, word would have travelled pretty fast. Hatter, out of curiosity, how is this playing in the news over there?

They did someting kind of like that with some of the rocket packs in Prophecy (I can't remember the name, Dragonfly or Mosquito I think). The warheads on those were pretty puny. But you did have a LOT of them.

Muh bad- it was 39% of eligable voters that came out last Tues. Not 35. It's still freakin' pathetic.

<mutters explitive> the post I had typed up got blown away. Apathy is an interesting thing. I voted last Tuesday, making me one of the 35% of enfranchised Americans to take part in this institution. That number is way too low. (I don't see how any politician can claim a "mandate from the...

Haven't read AS-me broke college student. Food, Film, Fuel and Females. That's about all I have money for. As for Rise and Fall of the Third Riech, I have not read it, but will be, after I read everything else on my list. But I have actually visited Terezin-stadt, and Yad Vashem, and the...

I've seen that one. o some reason you have to go to extraordinary lengths to find a copy in the US. But there are a ton of reasons for that.
