Toured the Kilbeggan distillery in '14. For a somewhat buttery taste, try Concannon. For really good (if more expensive), get your hands on Connemara peated whiskey (another Kilbeggan product).

Women don't drink whiskey, but it disappears when they are around...

desk given all of the stories and pictures about Hiroshima and Nagasaki (when this was happening we were only about 15 years from those events). The only consolation was that our little town in central PA was likely not a strategic target - so hey we would likely survive the initial blasts and could take our chances with the radioactive fallout!

Without an enemy, that would have been very hard. No doubt the USSR was more then happy to do the same thing, you know so they could protect people and stuff.

Yeah I think the PTB knew the tremendous waste of resources, yet we are still at it building nuclear subs and carriers. I always thought the Cold War was a long con to make certain people rich beyond measure.

through are the incremental changes to the tax code. I have seen many many tax returns for wealthy people and businesses where they pay less than I do and practically nothing compared to real income. This happened slowly - and I often wonder - how do they ALL decide - let's do this?

Like - building a war machine, profiting on war, like you say. Adding this change and that change to tax code - so slowly we the people don't notice. And why didn't our Democrats notice - or say anything?

How did it happen so quietly, with all on board, all "pledged"?? to silence
