  1. Liveleak is your source? There's a mission impossible theme song in the background! The B2 is development of the flying wing design that was proved in 1947... Do a search on the YB-49. Stealth was developed in the 1970's and 80's as a 'black' military project. B2 came out of the black project closet in 1988. The same year North American Honda built a 60% mock-up speculation model of the rumored "stealth bomber". That model was so accurate there was real concern of a security leak. So we've convicted several foreign national engineers for leaking 'sensative' 'classified' technology that is 25 to 60 years old. Yep. It sounds like our security is totally compromised.

  5. What do you define as pork spending>? Citizens against Government Waste came up with $17.2 billion in pork spending for 2008 up from $13.2 billion in 2007. This is out of a total budget of $2,794 billion budgeted in 2007. Which does not include the cost of The War which is a separate congressional appropriation (approx an additional $200 billion per year). Pork Spending is approx 0.5% of total government spending. Mandatory Spending (SS, Medicare/Medicaid, Unemployment, and Vet Benefits) totaled $1,623.6 billion last year. Of the $1,170.7 billion in discretionary spending, congress voted to spend $548.8 billion on defense and $243.7 billion in interest payments due on the national debit (currently $9,140 billion). The budget was $387 billion higher than the tax revenue for 2007 (i.e. we planned to increase the debt by $387 billion). This doesn't include The War which was an additional $200 billion. The simple analogy to personal finance: The US government owes roughly 3x what it earns every year and is over spending by 20% per year. It will take cutting more than "pork spending" to address the budget/ spending problems of government. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  6. Too bad you can't disinvest yourself enough to have an honest discussion about it - I think it would be interesting. Well, we already know billvon is a duck. Are you claiming he's a duck invested in dishonest discussion? "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  7. Have people read the first 5 chapters of C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. He discusses the reality of an objective moral law that all human beings are aware of. For those who are suspicious of religion; try Francois Tremblay's The case for Objective Morality "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  8. I see your point, Billy. I've always thought if a person didn't know how to spell a particular word then they had not earned the privilege of using it in conversation. YMMV. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    It was cool. The digital projection was sharp... I think I am going to go see it again today. FYI~ If you're a fan, make sure you hang around for an extra scene that's after the credits. It's the set up for the next movie... I think. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
