  1. Re:Time to move into the Century of the fruit bat. on Oklahoma Botched an Execution With Untested Lethal Injection Drugs · · Score: 1

    I am tempted to argue that anyone who could do that has to be mentally ill. No sane person could do such a thing in the first place. Even if there was temporary mental illness, any sane person would kill themselves rather than live with the memory of it.

    So, do we kill the sick now?

    Actually, there have been a few people executed that were proven innocent posthumously.

    That makes at least those executions a murder.

    Yes, I do need a better Secretary of State. One who will push back against the new DL requirements pushed by the Feds. It used to be quite easy before the backdoor maneuver to turn a DL into a national ID card in all but name.

    HaHaHaHaHa.

    Then why does the DMV insist you need to prove your ID before they will issue a replacement ID. They will, of course, want your SS card. Hope you didn't lose that too, because SSA wants your picture ID to replace your SS card.

  6. It could be a lot cheaper on Decommissioning Nuclear Plants Costing Far More Than Expected · · Score: 1

    If nuclear plants were held to the radiation standards of coal plants and if fuel reprocessing had actually been implemented, it would be a lot cheaper.

    In other words, you CAN'T actually refute a single point because I am correct and you are a gasbag.

    Try learning to read. You have yet to refute even one. When directly challenged on a couple points, you claimed you never questioned those.

    It's hard to say. The Sheriff might have gotten a grant for paramilitary gear for the war on drugs and be looking for an excuse to deploy automatic weapons and an armored vehicle.

    Of course, the state police could win in a confrontation, but it would be very expensive politically. They will do nearly anything, including retreat to avoid firing shots. The blowback from shots fired could be career ending for the guys at the state level. It might turn the mayor and local police into folk heroes, a disaster for the state legislators that don't want their dirty dealings revealed.

    These movies were part of the plan before the first one (episode 4 ) even came out.

    I'm sure though that the prospect of great mounds of cash went a long way towards getting buy-in for the new movies.

    It is amazing. People buying what usually turns out to be charcoal filtered tap water for more than gas costs. For a month's worth, they could buy a good water filter.

    It does not require propaganda any more than any other political orientation. You're just accustomed to the U.S. propaganda.

    I gave up on CNN once and for all when the gyrodynes failed on Mir and they kept claiming the station was spinning wildly out of control (their actual words!). Even when the science reporter pointed out to the anchor man that it was actually only rotating relative to Earth and just once every 90 minutes. The anchor couldn't resist re-iterating that it was "spinning wildly out of control" one more time before they moved on.

    It was perfectly clear that they were not just pushing sensationalism first, but that facts would be ignored as necessary to do it.

    Well then hop to it! In what way do you find depleted uranium to be a NUCLEAR waste problem? How would it compare to beryllium for example or mercury released into the environment?

    Do you deny that we know how to reprocess 'waste' into fuel and a hotter but shorter lived waste? On what basis?

    Showing everyone your ass isn't much of a debunking.
