They missed the one about beer time after time saving civilization from being wiped out by water-born pathogens.  That alcohol is there for a reason.  Folks noticed that people drinking water were dropping like the proverbial flies but those drinking beer not only did not die they seemed happy.

Hamaurabi may hve been the first to institute a beer ration, but I bet the math of that time could not explain why 3 beers a day per man, times 45 men in the platoon, equalled exactly 1 1/2 pallets of beer. =D

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I read the alleged quote by Ben Franklin is a fabrication . . . but it's something he should have said.   ;)

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Factoid Number 2 is wrong.  The correct word is "zymurgy."  I can't find "zythology" in any dictionary.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
