But is he right about digging up Hitler's grave? Aren't there other claims about Hitler's final resting place?
Several, I believe; but he's right in that publishing his location (real or not) would create an iconic place for the Neo-facists... not something we really want, eh?
....
He said he had turned down large sums to identify the exact spot he disposed of Hitler.Gumenyuk told a Russian newspaper: "There are still too many neo-Nazis. There would be pilgrimages. They'd even put up a monument."
He's right....
[...quote from Willy...]Willy, your participation here has been valued, and believe it or not it has been a nice change of pace. No, not everyone agrees with you politically here. Then again, how many people here are in exact agreement? Probably none, in my opinion. I think I have been at odds with pretty much everyone here at one point or another, and I think that's the nature of the world we live in. No one agrees with me on everything except for me...and future me might take issue with present me on certain issues.....
I think Phid speaks for us all on this, if you care to stay we will be better for it; having opted out of a forum (far less civil than this one in its treatment of the minority opinion) before I understand what you are feeling though. My humble apologies for any hurt I may have given and know that it was unintended.
Quote from Wikipedia:
In spite of Oldsmobile's critical successes since the mid-1990s, a reported shortfall in sales and overall profitability prompted General Motors to announce in December 2000 their plans to phase out the Oldsmobile brand. The announcement took place just two days after Oldsmobile unveiled what would be its last new model ever, the Bravada SUV - which became, somewhat ironically, another critical hit for the division.The phaseout was conducted on the following schedule:Mid-2001: The 2002 Bravada, the company's last new model, hits Oldsmobile showrooms June 2002: Production ends for Intrigue and the Aurora V6 sedans May 2003: Aurora V8 sedan production ends January 2004: Bravada SUV production ends March 2004: Silhouette minivan production ends April 2004: Alero compact car production ends The final 500 Aleros, Auroras, Bravadas, Silhouettes and Intrigues produced received special Oldsmobile heritage emblems and markings which signified 'Final 500'. All featured a unique Dark Cherry Metallic paint scheme. Auroras and Intrigues would be accompanied by special Final 500 literature.The final production day for Oldsmobile was April 29, 2004. The division's last car built was an Alero GLS 4-door sedan, which was signed by all of the Olds assembly line workers. It is on display at the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum located in Lansing, Michigan.

The very last Oldsmobile (ended after 107 years); an Alero GLS assembled April 29, 2004. Currently on display at the R. E. Olds Transportation Museum.
Mine will now more truly reflect my lifestyle.... ;D
Hmm ... leave no tracks uh ?
While that is the plan... I really meant the more time for doughnuts.
Seems to me the Army should have the lead in this. Congress can have oversight during the appeal process when the evidence has been presented and they won't compomise it.Stems, IMHO, from Congressional Hubris; something to do with being the first branch of gov't mentioned in the Const., perhaps. That is for another thread though... must remeber to include a discussion of this in the Const. thread. 8)[...this would be better but lost the long version in edit... 🙁 ]
If you ask me (and you didn't), I think people should be allowed to buy fully automatic weapons, rpg's, cannons, whatever they want so long as they complete the proper paperwork on them and keep their weapons secured.
Considering that the argument that these are state-of-the-art military weapons with no other legitimate use would be forthcoming I'd counter that the 2nd Amendment is silent on what the arms can be (and these do have legitimate sporting applications); yes, at the time flintlocks were the order of the day and thats what we could have. I agree and will put up with the paperwork issue (much as I detest it... lists of what guns are owned by whom, and where they live... :o.
I even think convicted felons, who have paid their sentence for their crimes, should be allowed to buy firearms again.
Agreed and they get to vote too.
If more people were heavily armed, life would be better because criminals would think twice about attacking folks in fear of them packing heat. Also, the government would be more fearful of the people and opt not to push them too far. 🙂
+1 to both ideas; the second is why the 2nd Amendment really exists IMHO.
Those are the definitions I was looking for. It is amazing how many people think the meaning of the two words is synonymous. They have vastly different meanings.You really do have a lot of time on your hands, huh? ;D I barely manage to steal the time to post. I definitely cannot keep up with you and willy, you both have the time to be much more prolific on the board than I do.
This one was a slam-dunk; after having read the book this became part of my lesson plan... you are sooo right that people don't "get" the difference. I think for the sake of us all that might be okay, as not everyone could handle total liberty without running wild. Freedom implies society has the hammer to keep those that would run amok inside the lines while most of us can do that for ourselves; true liberty requires self-control.On the time issue... I'm busier now than when I was working... just doing different things; rainy day today and all my projects take me right by the computer. The forum keeps me from Ol'timers Onset. ;D
