Well we do have the technology to do it BUT can NASA do it efficiently? I think it's more of a potential black hole for taxpayer dollars.

Scrat

Why do you say that? This guy actually stood up and said "We don't have the money for the tunnel". In my state they chose the most expensive option.

I do wonder what the pudgy bastard has up his sleeve though. Any more info to share?

Scrat

What's shocking is there is an element of truth to this. Some people are just stupid. Good post though.

<t>I guess those Russkies are getting together with the Indian airforce on this project. I have heard that with a slight modification of the fuselage (extending it by 2 ft) it will be capable of carrying the Sunburn anti ship cruise missile. Anyway here's the video. It looks real nice. <...

<r>My discovery of a black market dentist. I need to get some work done on my back teeth. I went to my dentist recently and he said that my cost out of pocket would be around $2000.

<t>GMC. The Tea Party movement is a red herring, it is not meant to be effective in changing the situation, most of the people associated with it are lunatics so no sane person pays much attention. It serves to discourage the normal people from participating. â€œCorporate socialism contr...

<t>A lot of the greedy people had a hope for a better future? I don't see your point, unless it's that both sides are victims of something else. Could that something else be government regulation? That very government that people now expect to fix the problem gov't regulation started by imposing mor...

<r>If it does change Clodhopper it won't be to the good. As western economies have grown throughout history their militaries have not beaten their swords into plows and joined in the prosperity.

<t>People living beyond their means. AC I don't like that concept either. I don't live beyond my means. I live with what suits me, I live in my comfort zone. What raises my hackles about the concept is it seems to me is a given lifestyle is not a choice, it's something imposed on you by the society ...

You're a great individual Koan. The world would be less without you.

Now I know why I'm not a boob guy. For some reason I found it disgusting. Amateurish.

Scrat

Where I come from people were very polite. When people had an issue with one another it was settled with fists. Guns used in a quarrel are for weaklings cowards and idiots.

Scrat

Oh, I guess you could consider me a 99er. No decent employment for going on 2 years now. I spent 4 months on the dole and went to work for a temp service before I went crazy. It suits me well as we do have a small business on the side. We make it.

Scrat

<t>I agree with AC on all his points. Thank heavens me and my wife have a little sense. I'm not making a lot of money and we still manage to save a little every month. I look for little victories and learn to wait for things. I just repaired my 14 year old 36 in TV. I had to replace the power supply...

<t>I think we are pretty safe as far as war with China goes. For one, they are about the only thing that's kept us afloat. If they wanted to destroy us, they could have not bailed us out when our entire economy went off a cliff. And secondly, we are their best customer. C...

What do you say? That's Africa for you, nothing surprises me anymore.

So, tell me, Scrat, what makes people fall in love?

In short Koan, instinct and hormones. Sorry I can't give you a better answer but I am pressed for time at the moment. Do you think its something else?

Yes, they do have them apparently but it seems developers have theirs too.

I haven't been watching. I despise media circuses and I'm quite sure a lot of those miners will soon also, at least the ones that don't try to make a career out of it on the talk shows. To hell with all of the hangers on and media hound drama.

At the end of the day, God is still in charge.

God doesn't care, he/it simply gave us the means. It's up to us to put what we were given to proper use.

Who would you replace Obama with if I may ask.

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

We were NOT ALLOWED back home unless we had active arterial bleeding or had set ourselves on fire.

What are they going to do GMC? If people really start acting up they'll call in the troops, we will have the paramilitaries and armies of the governments on the street "to keep public order" and all that.

In the UK we had Thatcher and the ludicrous notion that we could survive as a service economy- servicing what? no one seemed to ever ask that question in the corridors of power. Government seen as an end in itself rather than a servant.

Agreed.

Try Montana or Wyoming, in the foothills of the Rockies. As for the desert it has its own beauty, and it is very alive if you look close enough. Maybe Seattle area? Keep in mind though, its all green for a reason.
