Perhaps God has the inhabitants of the earth in quarantine just to keep the cooties in one place.

I have not see any reason why it should not be that way. Not one.

It is fun to pretend. But I do not believe.

That would buy me a lot of a lot. A trip on the QEII and the Orient Express. Lots of change.

In the 1970s I worked for 2 years for a company that built rockets, and the space shuttle. My co-workers never doubted a US rocket ship had landed on the moon. I never thought to doubt it until last year. And now I am not sure. But, as I have learned over the past 4 years, our govt. can lie through its teeth

Rockwell? I remember them towing around a "space suit" on a stand when they were drumming up support for the shuttle. I mean funding.

It's ALL A GRIFT, ALL OF IT. Why? Because it always has been. Its always been about funding, from the "American Revolution, " or coup, on. The first thing they did, even before winning was "secure funding from foreign investors," and then after Whiskey Tax. From that point forward it was "bill" after bill by legislators that was funded by loans. "Bills to study if a fish needs a raincoat," if cocaine will kill a money, or sundry other "excuses and absurdities" to get funding.

Yes, Rockwell. It no longer exists. I used to join my coworkers at the bar of a local Mexican restaurant with a big TV - we would watch the rocket launches from Vandenberg (over a cocktail, of course). Quite exciting to watch what your employer built, especially when the phases disconnected.

It's fun to play pretend...............as children...........following their logic..........."I just went to Pluto," and I have the cartoon to prove it.

Alrighty then. I hope someday to be wrong. I truly do, in the same way those who "believe the fantasy" want to be right. I present information for review, nothing else, and I don't believe in fairy tales. Anyone who wishes to, they may, it is their right.
