I don't think you disagreed with me, after all. ;-) You just helped condense something that was too long to start with. Everyone should be required to read "Legacy of Ashes" and "Reefer Madness". The missing part of the Legacy of Ashes story, however, is the corporate influence stories from...

"The Oxford team, led by Dr David Deutsch, showed mathematically" The key word being "mathematically". Mathematics is a tool we use to make models of the real universe that are very useful. However, drawing a picture of a horse does not mean that horses are made of paper and crayons, no...

No, I wasn't making the shit up. The chickens did that. They are the CIA. I just have to 'spin' it onto the compost pile and turn it into something sweet. Kinda like a speechwriter, I guess. A politician actually gets bribed to spread specific shit. I also don't have any pigs right now, so...

Thanks for your honest reply. You illustrate my case perfectly. You are completely normal and correct that it is what 'we' want as a society. The questions are these: Why are elderly becoming senile (many contributing factors are diet, lack of exercise, longterm exposure to chemicals, and lack...

Well, except for 'arresting' the imaginations of people with some really good pictures from space...;-) My experience with NASA people (aircraft testing - not space stuff) has been very professional, and very much like pulling a diamond out of a lump of coal -- very tightly wound. This is good...

Hey Gene: I forgot to mention the SERENDIPITY involved: I was actually shoveling shit out of the barn while listening to Goldberg's episode. Is that freaky, or what? I must be on another astral plane.

How about a psychic/alien/time traveler duke-out? Get Imara, and Steven Greer, and Goldberg all together and just duke it out over their various contacts and belief systems. Have them call in their contacts and see which ones show up first.... I vote for the Great Zarquon or the Flying...

As long as the mentality is that people cannot be trusted, then there will be big government to tell them that "we're here to help". The problem is our underlying devaluation of people as 'commodities' to be traded, coerced, advertised, bought, sold, and pigeon-holed. We have replaced the...

I'm stunned by what people think the DNC does while the RNC is busy running drugs. You think they don't know? Christ, Clinton was the best Republican president we ever had, and her husband will be when she's elected by the hacked machines. Here's a looney book reference: "The Conspirators" by...

I saw a NOVA episode where the dolphins were having an orgy. It may not be politically correct, but I'd call that pretty porpoiseful....;-)

Just waxing philosophical for a moment: What if we take anyone that says "Einstein believed xxx" and throw away everything and anything they corroborate their beliefs with. In the case of Goldberg, what are we left with? Aether theory, Cartesian space, Time as a sequence of events, a single...

ummm..yeah, maybe. I highly recommend that you get "Six Easy Pieces; the Feynman lectures on physics". Listen to them about 6 or 7 times, then try to tackle things like Bose-Einstein condensates and quantum 'secure' computers, etc. What I guess you didn't understand was that I was referring...

Yes, I've done this before. It doesn't have to be copper. Aluminum or brass will also work (copper tubing is just easier to find in various sizes. It is simple inductive theory: The moving magnet induces a current in the tube which counteracts the fall of the magnet. Nothing magical about it...

The balls don't actually all move. (well, they do in real life because of imperfections, but let's use the theoretically perfect set or even your solid rod).The force is a compression force that travels through the rod at the speed of sound. (this is much faster than the speed of sound in air...

If you could do that, you need to find something better to do with your time....;-) There are some things that SHOULD be breached because they shouldn't have been classified to start with. If, for instance, the existence of antigravity/contact with UFO's would obviate the need for petroleum...

AynItDaTroot..;-)

Yeah, but can you build the car that gets it down the mountain and past the Revenuers...? ;-)

With help from Monsanto, yeah. But not just any idiot can grow SPECIFIC plants, or know where they will grow, or grow them without chemicals, or grow them so they have the most potency. Read "Reefer Madness" if you want a good take of the drug program. MaryJayWanna is the biggest cash crop in...

Anyone can get a patent. Especially if you work in an R & D department, where several people collaborate on things. Hell, I've got one, too. Probably could have more if I went back into the rat race. Frank: Just because someone is goofy, it doesn't mean they're a genius. I'm a genius, and I try...

I think he's got some cats in the bag, but they are old ones, dead ones, and missing some legs. Probably blind, too. I think Dave and Gene did a good job of not destroying the lifelong work of a hard working old man. Even if he didn't have much to add, he wasn't lying about anything. It was a...
