A-11 was an intercepter version of the SR-71. Maybe 2 were built. Your larger point, that speed is important for interceptors, to get there fustus, is correct. Dog fighting, once you get there requires manueverability. In todays enviroment it's not so important to get there first as to dominate once we arrive.
Rapid climate change is normal. The medieval warm period (exacerbated by knights galvanting about in thier SUVs) was quite sudden. The little ice age, beginning 400 years later thanks to the efforts of 14th century enviro-socialists wearing sensible shoes, was just as sudden.
Good points. I think the American revolution remains the scenerio to consider. Most anti-colonial struggles have been driven by a desire for the past while the America was driven by a vision of the future. The Australian/New Zealand/Canada model is a possibility but so is a 'sagebrush revolution' against a meddlesome central government.
anyone who thinks American space travel is Americans-only should take a walk around NASA or JPL some time. More foreigners than the UN, and they all put American spacecraft into orbit.
Cecelius Calvert inherited his father's title--and his dream. Two months after his father died, he received the charter from King Charles, granting the second Lord Baltimorea lmost regal powers and ownership of all the land of the colony which he had named Maryland, in honor of the Mother of God. This land was used to attract settlers to the new colony.
This would all be avoided if the American people realized that thousands of local libraries cannot be run from Washington DC and should not be funded with federal dollars. Local dollars means local control and local standards. The same local public decency local public decency ordinances can be applied at the library as anywhere else. AFIAK, no one, not even the ACLU, is arguing that the poor have a right to spank their monkey at the county courthouse.
If models created to predict global warming didn't predict it that would be news. Or would it? I read again and again that the models cannot predict current conditions given past data without manipulation.

Capitalisms only connection to the discussion is that it allows them to get on the Internet and post inane statements.
The view up at night would be interesting.
Write funnier posts ;)
If you think that site is anything but a silly place then you've missed everything.
Good stuff. My memory jogged, I seem to recall that the A-11 designation was an attempt to hide the nature of the beast. Attack rather than recon.

Show me some valid, non fossil fuel industry sponsored research that counters research published by the likes of the National Academy of Sciences.
Bureaucracy is motivated to grow regulation. We should expect funding to be biased toward that end.

IIRC, there is a Russian proverb that goes something like: Best government is a good czar, worst government is a bad czar.
The wealth of the capitalist class comes directly out of the pockets of the working class
Bullshit. The only people who make a living off of the misery of the poor are leftist politicians and their lackeys in the poverty bureaucracy.
They don't have the right to defend themselves from each other, much less the government. That's the same as having no rights at all.
The same supreme court that decided you had no constitutional right to VOTE? hehe. How reassuring
I missed that one. Shit.
Ah, so I'm all of a sudden less "free" if I pay more taxes?
Yes. The opportunities that a person is afforded are directly related to the opportunities a person can afford. This is not news.

the staff of that company begin spending all their time having homosexual orgies in the bathroom.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Worked for the communists, right?
And even love can be rented.
and even if there were, they'd wreck everything, 'cause they have the cooties
I suspect that's the real reason for the trolls. If one doesn't expect to meet female Mozilla fans at the party then one could simply bring a date.
OTH, if yuor pretty and run gentoo a certain amount of drooling is to be expected.
At that point he had seen a great deal of technological change but still no flying car.
He must be getting paid per impression. What good is a pr0n or casino ad targeted at cartoon network fans? The don't have any money.
