Earth May Once Have Had Multiple Moons
fyc writes "A new study from NASA's Ames Research Center has suggested that the collision of Earth and a Mars-sized object that created the Moon may also have resulted in the creation of tiny moonlets on Earth's Lagrangian points. 'Once captured, the Trojan satellites likely remained in their orbits for up to 100 million years, Lissauer and co-author John Chambers of the Carnegie Institution of Washington say. Then, gravitational tugs from the planets would have triggered changes in the Earth's orbit, ultimately causing the moons to become unmoored and drift away or crash into the Moon or Earth.'" The longest-lasting of such Trojans could have persisted for a billion years. They would have been a few tens of kilometers in diameter and would have appeared in the sky like bright stars.
RMS isn't proposing legalization of sex with animals or corpses, he is saying that images of such activities shouldn't be illegal. And he is making a pretty logical argument.
Now, what is your point?
Would this make news about Ragnarok dupes?
Good Lord!! Judging by your proposed headline, you would have posted the full article as the "summary" had you been an editor!
The companies who sell alcohol don't want marijuana legal, neither does the DEA or other law enforcement agencies which would lose the millions or billions of dollars of funding. And look at all of those properties and cars which peaceful marijuana smokers and growers would retain rather than have seized for growing a flowering weed.
Marijuana remains illegal in the Land of the free because people remain apathetic, they fear their government, they are afraid to march and protest for fear they will be added to COPLINK (google it for info.) or some other database and be fingered for something.
WE THE PEOPLE and Land of the free are nothing now, the government rules the U.S., and the fight for marijuanas legalization is one small proof.
Plenty of people take garlic or other herbs for medicinal reasons, and cook with them and use them for other reasons too. But how many people say, Medical garlic? even when it has medical uses? We shouldnt have to legalize medical marijuana, we should legalize MARIJUANA. It makes no difference why or how its used, as long as the user isnt harming anyone else.
Play some Bill Hicks videos (see YouTube) and open your eyes.
You are being played. The war on drugs is a joke which benefits big Pharma, DEA, and other involved governmental forces of oppression. Marijuana remains schedule I with no medical beneifts which is a crock of shit!
How can you stand for this? Why do you continue to allow the federal government to control your life?
Why does alcohol and tobacco remain legal but marijuana illegal?
Does NORML even matter anymore, or is their slow progress in legalizing marijuana just proof they were infiltrated and scuttled by law enforcement long ago and rendered ineffective? After all, they failed to support Jack Herers collection of signatures this year for the voters to eventually vote in California to legalize marijuana for any use and provide amnesty to those arrested for its use or possession. I thought NORML was *for* marijuanas legalization, yet they failed to back Jack Herers efforts, which raises a red flag in my opinion.
Some painkillers, like Opiate derivitive pain killers which are prescription only have liver-destroying additives included to discourage so-called abuse. These are also addictive and are big money makers for big Pharma and others who enforce their use. Big Pharma are the real drug dealers in America, with one organization protecting them.
Google LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, and check Google News for marijuana, and youll see story after story about marijuana growers being busted, the war against marijuana IS BIG BUSINESS FOR THE GOVERNMENT and WE THE PEOPLE lose!
Its all about a control of your perception, marijuana allows for a change of perception, along with some other schedule I drugs. They want to control what you think, and remain rich off your misery.
He couldn't be an editor, he can't een spell ad nauseam.
I always thought that now we have absolute proof! --It's good when moderators send people to the cornfield, isn't it?
It looks like some clueless person with mod points thought you were being serious.
