Are you part of the coverup Mike?

Why poppies, does that have something to do with the Taliban?

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

TW...close but no. The poppy signifies Remembrance Day when we honour our fallen soldiers. It comes from a famous poem “In Flanders Field” which is a spot in Belgium home to Canadian graves from WWI and a heck of a lot of poppies.

"There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. There are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. It doesn’t work.”

I was going with the conspiracy thing for jest, no offense.

In fact that Disabled American Veterans use a poppy for likely the same reason.

Sorry to do this, Mike, but the other thread freezes my browser.
I have never discussed my world view with you, so your calling me “Orwellian” is something you made up.  I am discussing how we might win the war with the terrorists; nothing else.  I only want to detain the real combatants, and would leave that up to the soldiers who find them on the battlefield.  I have never said anything about rounding up people in general, so you made that up, as well.  The goal of terrorism is to instill fear and to intimidate, and backing off for fear of wronging someone is success for them and their terrorist ways.

r108...a quick response since this isn’t the right thread. Your world view is obvious to anybody who reads you regularly and possesses a modicum of intelligence. I’m actually a bit insulted by this but I think that discussion has run its course so I’ll let it go.

MikeA: The problem is, you got it wrong; I’m the polar opposite of Orwellian.  That should tell you something about your assumptions.

On the contrary...you’ve just demonstrated how Orwellian your thinking is. We really should quit this soon.

How little you know.

When I first saw the title “Spy coin” I thought back to the Cold War and Soviet spy, Rudolph Abel. In New York, Abel’s support officer was given a hollow nickel with a bit of microfilm in it. He got drunk and spent his nickel on a newspaper. He was found out when the nickel suspiciously fell apart when dropped, and the microfilm fell out.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
