      US military chiefs ordered to reveal if Pentagon used diseased insects as biological weapon

      Damn

      Yeah... and they waited nearly 45 years before deciding this is a good idea to check into?

      Statutes of limitations and all that.

      lol. I was thinking more along the lines of the top level brass involved in that project would be dead, dying, or their brains so fuzzy "they cannot recall."

      I wonder how well the records were kept back then.

      Well Rome kept pretty good records, one hopes that by 1950 they were able to 🙂

      Able to and actually doing so are two different things, lol.

        IMHO, those four are one in the same and I still believe the statement is correct. Yes, One person can be used as a basis for the group. Happens all the time in business, politics and world society.

        What makes them one in the same?

        Numerous intertwined Ideologies.

        I understand. Citizenship is a difficult concept to grasp... One person from a group not being born in America makes a statement true for 3 other people because they share the same ideologies. You should loosen up your red hat a bit. It seems to be cutting off circulation to your brain.

        Being an American is a difficult concept to grasp. Being a citizen is fairly easy.

        Alright, well I think that your ideologies align with these 3 Russians that I once met, so you should to go back to where you came from... Makes perfect sense :thumbs_up:

        And you think my ideologies are?

        Forget it, man. That wasn't the point. I don't have the patience for this lol

          Your point was not lost. If my ideologies lined up with Charles Mason's, can we as a group visit or should we go back where we came from? lol

                        Yup, that part concerns me. As much as I think smoking needs to be banned, I think that pulling the rug out from under legally addicted smokers is unfair and probably illegal and could end up undermining the law. Knowingly allowing people to get addicted, and then forcing withdrawal that they might not be able to handle, is probably a crime.

                              This I would argue with you about, a person has a choice to start smoking, vaping using chew etc. And they aren't allowed to legally do this until 18 currently 21 in 120 days.

                              This is no different than changing the drinking age from 18 to 21 however many years ago that happened.

                                    The 'American Pickers' found and fixed Aerosmith's 1970s tour van

                                    Last year, “American Pickers” Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz got a tip about an old 1964 International Harvester Metro van rotting away in the woods on a Massachusetts property that turned out to be the original tour van Aerosmith used in the 1970s, when they were an up-and-coming act.

                                      Maybe the website detects a browser setting like when it tries to save some local data or do location tracking or something.

                                      Looks like this:

                                          As much as I think smoking needs to be banned, I think that pulling the rug out from under legally addicted smokers is unfair and probably illegal and could end up undermining the law.

                                          This I would argue with you about, a person has a choice to start smoking, vaping using chew etc. And they aren't allowed to legally do this until 18 currently 21 in 120 days.

                                          This is no different than changing the drinking age from 18 to 21 however many years ago that happened.

                                          I believe the people that were already 18 when the drinking age changed to 21 were grandfathered in and were still allowed to buy alcohol. Maybe the same will happen with smoking to prevent what Scott talked about. The article doesn't mention it.

                                            Apollo 11: Michael Collins returns to launch site on 50th anniversary

                                            One of the surviving crew members of the first manned mission to the Moon - Apollo 11 - has returned to the site where the mission set off 50 years ago.

                                            Michael Collins, 88, visited Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday. He marked the precise time - 09:32 (13:32 GMT) - when their rocket took off.
