Eh, no Nazi Germany didn't lose it's a talented pool of scientists and engineers. They lost some scientists and engineers, there were still more than enough scientists and engineers to pull off whatever projects they wanted. The analogy isn't that good.
That's not why Germany lost the Second World War in the ETO and MTO. They lost because the United States had the ability to mass produce and Germany didn't. The Russian Front, the airwar, the war at sea were won and lost because of the American ability to build and ship stuff to Britian and Russia faster than the Germans could destroy it or build thier own.
For example, sure it took 4-6 American tanks to knock out 1 Tiger in 1944, but the Americans were building 12 Shermans for each Tiger built, so even if 2-3 American tanks were knocked out for the single Tiger, there was still a net gain for the Allies.
So what if they did? Of the last three Presidents, President Clinton was the most open to lawsuits of a personal nature. But what Judical Watch did or didn't isn't the reason I linked to it. It was the place with the most info on the lasing of the Canadians and Americans by the Russians from my Google search.
he Pentagon inspector general has asked the Navy to consider awarding JW client Lt. Cmdr. Jack Daly (Ret.) a purple heart for injuries he suffered as a result of being shot with a laser by a Russian spy ship. Curiously, however, the Navy to this day maintains Jack's injuries never occurred. And evidence compiled by Judicial Watch suggests the Clinton Administration covered up the attack in order to avoid international conflict.
"Jack Daly certainly deserves a medal for his injury from a hostile force," said JW President Tom Fitton. "For more than six years, the U.S. government has refused to acknowledge an attack of a U.S. serviceman in American waters."
"Lt. Cmdr. Jack Daly (Ret.) was partially blinded by a laser attack. The laser was fired at Daly from the Russian spy ship Kapitan Man in April, 1997, while Daly was on an official reconnaissance mission, flying over the Straits of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound, WA. During his surveillance, which took place aboard a Canadian military helicopter, Daly felt a flash of brilliant light strike his eyes, causing him to turn away. Later in the day he would experience stinging in his eyes and sharp pains in his head. The next morning he awoke with a small pool of blood in one of his eyes.
Military doctors told Daly that he and his Canadian chopper pilot, Captain Pat Barnes (Ret.), had been shot at with a laser by the Russians. The damage would be permanent.
Rather than standing by their injured military official, however, Clinton Administration officials treated the incident as an inconvenient stumbling block on the path to improved relations with the Russian government and covered it up.
The Kapitan Man was not searched until several days later and only after at least 10 hours advanced warning given to the Russians. Though a thorough search should have taken 2-3 days, U.S. inspectors were aboard for less than 4 hours. Predictably, no evidence was found.
Judicial Watch currently has an appeal pending for Jack Daly against the Far East Shipping Company, the owners of the Kapitan Man."

So, string theory requires assumptions. How is that any different from saying, well it works if you make shit up to make it work?
See, here professor, yea, I can't make this work on my final, unless we both make some assumptions, then it works.
Right, and even during the Civil War, those in the Confederacy thought of themselves as Americans.
For those of you playing at home, Texas isn't the only state that was an independant nation before joining the United States. Not counting the area taken from Mexico in the Mexican-War, Utah, California, and Hawai'i were all sovergn nations at one point.
Keegan wasn't talking about the people, andI think one can argue it can work since the United States is an increadably mobile society, I myself have lived all over. I was born in Pierre South Dakota, lived on an Indian Reservation in a community of 3,000 people in North Central South Dakota, I've lived in Corvallis, Eugene and Portland Oregon as well as Denver Colorado, Kibbutz Dan Israel and the Gulf Coast of Florida.
Keegan was talking about how the United States is unified, in Europe even now, people are French or German first, then a European, in the United States, since before the Civil War, people are Americans first, well except for Texas. The United States also is uniform, and it has been for a long long time, it's not the "fast-food nation" where there are Starbucks and Taco Bells everywhere, Keegan spoke of what it was like in the 50s on, where things were mostly the same all over the United States.
As for the New Yorker in Appalachia, of course it will work, people adapt. As for the Appalachian in New York, that will work too, rural people are always moving to the cities and I think they are a bit more ready to adapt then an urban dweller.
In John Keegan's "Fields of Battles", a military history of wars in North America, he talks about coming to the United States in the 1950s for the first time and how refreshing it was to be in a place as big as the United States and have it be a single culture. From the Northeast to the South to the Great Plains, he says, there are some differences, but you knew it was a unified culture by how much alike everything is.
Actually, I think it would work outside of the urban areas in every state west of say, North Carolina. There are some built up areas, but honestly the United States is concentrating in the urban cores and there are fewer and fewer people living out of the cities. Look at every state west of the Mississippi and half of them west of the Ohio river, lots of empty space.
Right. But that's Earth and we're not sure how the amino acids and proteins even formed here. If they came from space, and they took on Europa then maybe there's a chance.
But theres a lot and lot and lot of ifs and unknowns about Europa to make the "there is life" comments.
I was over reading the 10 Top Urban Legends in Film History and I thought this was interesting
"URBAN LEGEND #10. Jerry Lewis hides his "Clown."
"The legend: Jerry Lewis is hiding "The Day the Clown Cried" because it is such an atrocious movie.
The truth: "The Day the Clown Cried" was never completed due to a flurry of lawsuits between Lewis and his film partners during the final days of the film's production in Sweden. Lewis spirited the final reel of the film out of Sweden, but the rest of the footage was seized by the Swedish government when the lawsuits were filed locally in 1972. The only version in Lewis' possession is the video capture which he simultaneously shot while making the film, but this was meant for reference purposes only and was not designed for exhibition. After three decades, the litigation involving the film has not been settled and this bizarre concentration camp clown adventure has yet to find its way into a projector."

Before everyone goes, Huh? The United States, which I know is responsable for everything bad in this world from a lack of Splenda reserves to Michael Jackson to Blood for Oil, isn't the only Nation-State to use it's legal system to hamper the rights of the viewing public, there are treaties that bind the various Nation-States togeather in regards to what laws and copyrights and trademarks and patents are honored and this dates back well over a hundred years, it's not just the evil forces of the MPAA and RIAA blitzkreging through the rights of the Everyman on the Internet.
No, America and the EU and Russia own thier space probes and vehicles and all the parts associated with them that are on Mars and Venus and the Moon and wherever else in the greater Solar System.
"The Kyoto protocol requires a supranational bureaucratic monster in charge of rationing emissions and, therefore, economic activities. The Kyotoist system of quota allocation, mandatory restrictions and harsh penalties will be a sort of international Gosplan, a system to rival the former Soviet Union's. The majority of humankind does not accept this system, despite claims of worldwide support. Even with Russia's ratification, 75 per cent of the world's CO2 is emitted by, 68 per cent of the world's GDP is produced in, and 89 per cent of the world's population live in countries that are not handcuffed by Kyoto's restrictions. Like fascism and communism, Kyotoism is an attack on basic human freedoms behind a smokescreen of propaganda. Like those ideologies of human hatred, it will be exposed and defeated."
"But your original point was regarding how claims were being made based on putting facts aside due to religious beliefs. If anything that is "Right-ist" mentality"
Oh, that's nonsense. For example, the American Indians dogma that they were here first, sprung from the ground, Black Hills or Buffalo spawned is religous.
Likewise Eco-groups holding the Mother Earth as sacred, animal rights are equal to human rights are a religion every much as much as what Pat Robertson says on the 700 Club.
Well...typically your Indian Reservations vote overwhelmingly Democratic, support of welfare, etc. So that would have them be on the Left now wouldn't it?
I get this feeling, not from you, but in general, that it's OK to blame anything on the Right you want, global warming on Mars, two-headed cows, etc. But if you are going to bring blame onto the Left, you need some MLA formated citations and be prepared to defend your thesis.

Excellent artist's interpretation of what the seperation might look like
Well, if we wait for Fusion, we might wait 10 years, or a hundred or a thousand.
Solar arrays would have to be HUGE to provide the power we need in the outer solar system.
Nuclear is the best way to do, one can built a vessel that'll survive a rocket failure or an unexpected deorbit and uncontrolled re-entry.
There's already alot of natural radiation out there and if there was an accident with a uranium reactor, it wouldn't be that bad.
