Thanks for posting that, 280plus.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

My pleasure. Great story I thought. I like that the islanders gave them a warrior's burial, very cool.

Something wrong with my computer screen when I watched that.

It's blurry, and my eyes are leaking...

Thanks, 280!
