    I've heard if you stand on one leg at 615am with your left eye closed and recite the lyrics to "Psilocybin Pony" while accompanied by an accordian ... maybe you won't get hit with a refusal. Of course you won't even know for sure for several days after the fact. Can anyone else see the...

    Mexico to impose sanctions on US exports

    I think Mexico's biggest export to America is labor. Of course, there are the drugs. too. If we factor in everything that's traded on the blackmarket, I doubt we have a favorable balance of trade with Mexico. Ross Perot was prescient in his warnings about NAFTA. He had the right message...

    Keep an eye on China

    Wilson came from academia as does Obama to an extent. I am quite prepared to support a moratorium on electing academic types with no real life experience, no business experience and no military experience. Professional politicians are a problem.

    This is scary

    Have you seen the films and posters produced from 1939 to 1945, produced right here in America with the blessings of the American government which dehumanize the Germans and Japanese? They are depicted as being less than human. Every conceivable racial slur and monstrous stereotype is attached...

    This is scary

    Greg, you know the answer. Propaganda comes in many forms. Nations at war use every possible tool in their arsenal: the element of surprise, disinformation, misinformation, subterfuge, sabotage, deceit, etc. Propaganda is all about the psychology of a people at war. Getting a nation's...

    This is scary

    RLENT, despite your protests, effective propaganda is essential to winning wars. I'm not pro-war. I'm for winning wars. Yes, propaganda plays to the emotions, but going to war is not exclusively a rational decision. Going to war is usually an emotional response to an untenable threat or set...

    I'm with you Guido. I soooo don't miss this pseudo-babble. Carriers can reach a point where they are hamstrung by layers and layers of ever changing rules and policies. In an effort to please certain fiefdoms, efficiency gets tossed.

    Thomas Jefferson the Prophet

    We, Americans, have strayed so far from the Founding Fathers vision for this country that I fear they would scarcely recognize what it has become.

    This is scary

    Why would anyone necessarily assign a negative connotation to the term "propaganda" ... all governments and all political parties, including the present one, use propaganda everyday to shape public opinion. It is used to marshal support for public policy, legislation, foreign affairs...

    stolen van FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

    Lots of missing information here.... failing to get a ping on the qc could be attributed to parking too close to a building, thus blocking a signal. Or parking under a tree, or a dozen other possibilities. Or a dead battery. Red flags pop up when this goes unreported for several days...

    Warning, no cell phone N.J.

    Participating in a conversation by phone requires an incredible amount of focus and concentration. One might think it is passive but I am inclined to think otherwise. Today, I saw a young woman ( cell phone to her ear) blow right through a red light. I have often observed cell phone users...

    Keep an eye on China

    While China has been busy growing and actually producing things, America has been living on a credit card. We are a spoiled bunch with a difficult future.
