Here at least they run most shows more than once at different times of the day and night. I'd stay up to see it again, but instead I ordered the DVD. $25.94 with shipping and handling. I've never seen one that I wanted that badly before, but this one is worth it. If you want to order it the...

Currently watching a program called, "What Plants Talk About". Watch your local PBS station for this one. Fascinating! Short version of What Plants Talk About

Actually, I was tempted by rocks and sharp sticks. :gig

Civil War assault weapon: :lol:

18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors. Perhaps, but not near as many as now. I did say pharmaceutical, ie. those manufactured legally. A noble thought to be sure, but than noble thoughts are the problem which was...

While I was a hunter in my younger years, after serving in the unpleasantness in South East Asia it was many years before I touched a firearm again. However, there was never a time when I was willing to give up the right to own one. As to outlawing things that many of the citizens want to do or...

Do you think I'll feel any better if I'm shot with a hunting rifle, as opposed to one of those nasty assault rifles? :pop

I'd contact the manufacturer. They'll probably be so afraid of a lawsuit that they'll send you a new one.

The so-called "Holy" Wars? To easy. They started out over control of the "Silk Road" and the lucrative trade with the orient. Later they became about looting and treasure. How did you think the Knights Templar became so wealthy? There is one possible exception, Children's Crusade of 1212 if it...

Let me rephrase that; All wars in history were started for economic reasons. I'm not saying that we should have a strong military to win wars. What I'm saying is that the presence of a strong military is a deterrent to those who would start trouble. Why are we there? OldGal and I have this...

You're right about one thing, "you can't beat them with conventional war tactics." The American Revolutionary War was won not because there were more of us or because we were better equipped. We weren't. The colonial's used gorilla tactics, plain and simple. Do you really believe that any war...

Certainly a noble idea. Do I feel sympathy for the people of North Korea? Certainly! However, at the end of Korean War they could have joined South Korea and embraced capitalism. Instead, they chose Communism. Don't misunderstand, I understand why Communism is attractive to people who have...

Violating my own rule against posting before anyone responds to my previous post. :hide I'm watching the very first in the old "Victory at Sea" television documentaries, and that got me to thinking about the history of pre-WWII diplomacy. Next I got to thinking about why North Korea would dare...

That's what I thought.

Thinking about converting the cactus garden to an herb garden. Suggestions for soil?

Who/what is Charlie? :hu

Thank you, Linn, I owe it all to a man who, in my opinion was one of the greatest teachers to ever live. His name was Atile Chiti. He was a naturalized citizen having been born in Italy. His parents immigrated to this country when he was seven. He spoke and wrote seven languages fluently, a...

I'm with Marshall. A good teacher not only teaches, but learns.

You're right. I started feeling this way when Muhammad Ali, the professional boxer claimed that he was a conscientious objector. On the other side Nathanael Greene was a major general of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War, and a member of The Society of Friends, aka the...
