People said they were terrified for Obama's safety 8 years ago... Most of the people with guns like this guy a lot better.:)
Lee Harvey Oswald was a Communist, who had defected to the Soviets from the US Marines then was forced back. The assassin in 1880 or 1900 was an anarchist. Leftists with guns are more dangerous to the top of the pyramid.
She refused to go out at 3:30 for the same reason that Bush didn't go out in 2000 and 2004 before the votes seemed to be settled, one way or the other. Not as bad as a lot of her other self inflicted mis-steps.
Well, "fair and square" given that the rules, however weighted, were well known beforehand. Also, if Bernie had been better at convincing the super-delegates that he could attract main election voters not as far to the Left as the average Democratic primary voter then he might have convinced them switch to him.
Or it might be like the remake of Campbell's "Who Goes There" that DIDN'T have sentient carrots and scientists going over to the other side, but DID have Wilfred Brimley and Kurt Russell.
The people who don't serve will just sit around smoking weed or meth, bitching about being oppressed, and making money like mini-Trumps, according to the book.
Rather like the Equites class in the Roman Republic, who hadn't the expensive lifestyle requirements that the patricians had, and could concentrate on trade, instead.
Of course, to use the Roman analogy, this assumes that the patricians don't go all Sulla and take over the state to eliminate their enemies, permanently.
Good inks were available in Roman times, and wills and such should be required to use them, certainly instead of pencil. Fortunately, the pencils used were not the high numbered kind, so the thicker lines were possible to make out. I realize that a will or contract to build a house isn't needed after the estate is settled or the house built. except as a historical document, but still . . .
Just remember to use acid-free paper. My half great uncles copy of The Harvard Classics is still in fairly good shape, but my father's book of 6 digit logarithms is falling completely apart, and some of his other college texts are almost as bad. We won't even mention about how bad the tablets that I save from grade school are.
Digitize them soon. My family has photos from my grandparents' childhoods, and firstly, no one can remember who the people are, and secondly, they are fading to the point that they appear gray on gray. Contrast stretching can almost fix the graying of the old photos, but the old relatives who could have recognized the people in them (or even the locations) have and are dying before we can get them annotated. Likewise, we have the same problems with pencil writing (yes, even on important documents).
On the other hand, we can make fun of my one great-grandfather, who wrote to his future wife for several years, but used the wrong name (that should teach parents NOT to name their children with obscure four syllable names similar to other ones) until about 18 months before their wedding, which was probably the urban equivalent to a shotgun wedding.
Redneck, I dunno, but you are certainly very a nationalistic person. We had a critical mass of those such people here in Germany a while back and that sure wasn't pretty.
Nonsense. If you (collective) were nationalistic back then, no Austrian would have been able to take over Germany and demand, successfully, that everyone hail him instead of saying the equivalents of hello and goodbye.
Never comment while reading other, unrelated, stuff, and be glad that I didn't call him a dark matter galaxy, as I probably would have if this happened before dinner today:-)
You forget that the skydiving firm won't let you jump alone after a certain point. George H.W. Bush has to be strapped to the guy with the parachute, anymore, to prevent what you "plan" from happening by accident. Even if you had no heirs to sue them, the department regulating aviation safety will come down on the operator.
If you want to try this trick, you'll have to check out while still hale and hearty, at least seemingly so.
The problem with immortality is that it never seems to come with unaging. The fats in cheeseburgers and chocolates become harder to digest and dairy starts giving problems (I can no longer binge on more than two pounds of jarlsberg at one sitting without problems for the rest of the week). In the case of this old Russian, losing all your children probably sucks a lot of the joy of life, even if he does still have grand children and gets to see his great great grand children (but cannot play with them).
I could list a few left-wing conspiracy theories, including my one friend's theory that the Clinton Death Lists
You think it was the Left that started the Clinton Death List conspiracy theory?
No, he just took that (right wing crazy) theory and ran with it in the opposite direction (making a left-wing crazy theory).
Anyway, the Clinton Death Lists were just lists of everyone tangentially related to the Clintons who had died after knowing them, including lifers working in the Ark. Governor's Mansion who died in their late 50s and early 60s from the usual causes from which trustee lifers die. It is no more sensible than a theory that the reason that all the steam locomotives were run to death during 1941-1945 was that GE bribed the government to take over the railroads and skip normal maintenance (entirely ignoring that little WWII thing).
I could list a few left-wing conspiracy theories, including my one friend's theory that the Clinton Death Lists were real and driven by Bill and that was a GOOD thing, because it balanced out the political assassinations performed under George H.W. Bush's aegis. I would point out, also, that it is extremely unlikely that you know any of MikeMo's conspiracy theorists, as you two clearly travel in different circles.
Multiple anecdotes do not qualify as data, regardless of which ever side counts them.
And extensive video footage has been released showing that NASA reached, walked upon, golfed upon, "danced" upon, and drove upon the Moon. And STILL Buzz Aldrin has to deck idiots, every so often.
Some people will not have their minds set at ease by anything but their eventual death.

The Fed has not had to deal with inflation since 2000; the problem that QA is supposed to solve is massive DEflation.
The books are much better.
With the exception of The Count of Monte Cristo, when is that not true?

. . . and the other with the Skinnies, who went from allies of the Bugs to allies of humanity. There was no explanation as to why in the novel.
The Terran army landed of the Italian mainland, metaphorically speaking.
It wasn't a very good book, to be fair. Just a slightly more grim one of his Juveniles.
It was very faithful to the book, though.
The movie had the naked coed shower scene; the book had more message than something by Ayn Rand.
Which would you expect kiddies to concentrate upon?

OK, how do you read a dog, then? I assume you mean in greater detail than "if it bites you, you have annoyed it" or the like.
And fall off after the adhesive dries, in thirty or so years.

Hell, should have been done decades ago, before the rest of the world was allowed to use TCP/IP, DNS, etc., which the US invented.
Then you could enjoy your own ISO internet to your heart's content. As soon as you get around to making one, any year, now.
Handing over control to the rest of the world
Fixed. China created their own and the US will shortly do so
We DID create our own. It is called "The Internet" and it is OUR thing that we let the rest of the world use for no charge.
Oops, Javanese.

Your scepticism is understandable, but extensive video footage of the event has been released.
I hope this sets your mind at ease.
