Yep. It's amazing how such dangerous blind spots in consumer safety develop where big money is involved.

Seems like my homepage has become a kind of marketing repository for all manner of junk. A kind of online supermarket tabloid. Phooey ! :(

This showed up in the current events (tabloid?) section of my internet homepage. I have been unable to verify it but thought I would pass it along, FWIW. NASA finds perfect pyramid on Mars (Video) - Allentown Paranormal | Examiner.com

This one torques me off, considering my impressive collection of coronary stents over the last 12 years. And I don't need to quote stats re American rates of heart disease. Hydrogenated oils have been around for at least 50 years (longer really). And the experts have apparently just now...

My layman's guess is a conventional bomb (bunker penetrating maybe?) hitting some kind of ammo or ordnance dump. Plus, as exo and storge pointed out, the lack of a shock wave and slow development of the fireball. Nuclear fireballs are so fast that the gov spent big bucks in the early days of...

This is the kind of sloppy Russian propaganda that poured out of the USSR during the cold was. Yes, friends and neighbors: we really did go to the moon, and left artifacts behind which will probably someday be on museum display. A more sour note: One must question the mentality of NASA...

For everything a price. And part of the price of ever more capable computers is that we become entangled such that, instead of being relegated to the role of obedient tools, they begin to run us. Some folks embrace and enjoy this symbiosis. While others--often older geezers like...

Bell was first and foremost a showman, not a serious investigator. He was a talented raconteur, with a rare knack for subliminally persuading the listener, with much quiet and lonely time on his or her hands, to switch off critical thinking and dream along. IMO, this was his real strength as a...

Somewhere between the catastrophic failure of the Great Depression and the Reagan Revolution, the gullible and often overly complacent middle classes have been sold the notion that free enterprise is a moral as well as an economic paradigm. Never mind that business at some level of magnitude...

Hypothetically not. But in a system as corrupted with big money as the U.S. Congress, it's rare to find public officials willing to work in favor of the greatest good for the greatest number of citizens.

Thanks all for advice and sharing opinions. I'm not all that tech savvy. But I'm receiving vibes that Microsoft has lost its rudder in designing and marketing operating systems for adults lately.

If you are running a Windows OS you may have noticed a new icon on your toolbar. It's a link to "reserve" (what the hey does that mean?) your 'spot' for downloading Windows 10 sometime in the near future. Don't know if I will bump Windows 7 unless they stop supporting it. I will most...

What a thing of pure beauty !

Oppenheimer made this quote somewhat widely known to us. It has a way of pressing on the conscious mind as one grows older. "The Blessed Lord said: Time I am, destroyer of the worlds, and I have come to engage all people. With the exception of you [the Pandavas], all the soldiers here on both...

Thanks Tom, but could you maybe post a link ?

Just to toss a bit more chum into these interesting waters--It wouldn't be hard to conceptualize robotic explorers spawned by some kind of post-singularity civilization that would be programmed to keep the primitive societies exactly where we are: utterly ambivalent and confused regarding to...

Very true, that we should be aware of the "contactee pitfall" in which the UFO is seen as sent by some cadre of all wise space brothers for anthropocentric reasons. Perhaps close encounter witnesses who are permanently changed could be likened to wild animals who had the misfortune of...

Definitely a setback for honest UFOlogy and a ripoff to those who paid hard earned money to see this dessicated dog and pony show up close. We can at least hope they derived some measure of enjoyment from the event. The most regrettable aspect of this for me is the involvement of Edgar...

Mmmm...It's sort of like hanging out with friends at the Bar N' Grill after work and then suddenly coming to the realization that pretty much everyone but yourself is inebriated beyond the reach of reality and that you are simply bored and disgusted. Sometimes the best tact is to simply grab...

Here's the particular "something" to which we seem intuitively drawn about the UFO phenomenon. That it is here to teach us. To paraphrase Vallee (yet again) 'What the UFO is telling us is that we do not understand time and space'. Assuming this is true, then is the teacher/student...
