   The most likely explanation for them doing something that is so obvious is that they screwed up. It is highly unlikely that they can gather any information with it that they don’t already have- obtained with satellites far smaller, from which we probably also picked up the signals as soon as there were any. And, shooting it down is overreacting. So, act like adults and ignore it.

   I think it might be better to let the trolls spout off on here and just ignore them, or argue with them if you enjoy it. Might let them let off some steam and save a school shooting.

   Gerrymandering goes back before the current parties existed. Gerry was Madison’s vice president and worked on writing the constitution. He opposed political parties in general, but by the time of his death, he was considered a member of the Democratic-Republican party, which eventually split into the Republicans and Democrats.

   It doesn’t matter. They either believe the overwhelming evidence that already exists, or if there is absolutely no other way to respond, they will simply say it’s all a lie.

   I’m not sure that I will— ever see it or actually believe it if I do.

   Of course they were more interested in the sky back then, after all there was nothing on TV.

   My goodness, YES!! Granted the USA isn’t perfect, or in danger of achieving perfection any time soon. Granted, we had slavery for a huge part of our history, destroyed the original owners of our land, and etc. But, it isn’t like the rest of humanity is a shining example of perfection either. And, the fact that a pretty good percentage of Americans do acknowledge that we seriously need to improve is at least a reason for hope.

   Absolutely!!!!!, if a case that will pass a grand jury can be made that anyone is guilty of a crime, Clinton, Obama, or mother Theresa, I want them to pay for it. I want them to be indicted, tried and pay whatever penalty is appropriate. To do otherwise undermines American Democracy a lot more than whatever damage results from all people actually receiving “equal justice under the law”.

   When my Dad was dying, he spent a couple of weeks screaming in pain. His immune system was compromised by other ailments that would have caused little pain on their own, but the compromised immune system allowed shingles to cover the entire left side of his head and shoulders. This was a guy who made it through the depression, WWll, and a major car wreck with a sense of humor about the whole thing. His doctor, also his golfing buddy, finally gave him an overdose of morphine and killed him. We thanked him and he warned us that he would lose his license and possibly go to jail if we said anything to anyone, and besides, he didn’t know what we were talking about.

   When my dog became sick and old enough that his life was more pain than pleasure, the vet stuck a needle in his leg and he was gone with no pain in about 30 seconds.

   I’m 78, and I have been trying to get my vet to accept me as a patient , but she has an unreasonable prejudice against my species. When will we learn that when it comes to fatal pain, being treated like a dog is a really good option?
