Why don't you consider an original idea an accomplishment? Aside from "The Last Supper" and "Mona Lisa" and other artistic accomplisments: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15440a.htm "Long before Bacon and with a far different range of application he invented the positive sciences. As a geologist, for example, he discerned that there was a "history of the earth", that the outside of the globe was not formed at a single stroke, and in this history, guided by studies of hydraulics, he successfully saw through the function of water. He divined the true nature of fossils. In botany he formulated the laws of the alternation of leaves, that of the eccentricity of trunks, and that of solar attraction. As an anatomist (he had dissected nine bodies) he gave figures concerning the insertion of the muscles and their movements which specialists still admire for their accuracy. He devised the earliest theories concerning the muscular movements of the cardiac valves. By his studies in embryology he laid the foundations for comparative anatomy. In mechanics he understood the power of steam and if he did not invent any action machines he at least made it an agent of propulsion, for he invented a steam cannon. He composed explosives and shells. But perhaps his most "modern" title to fame lies in his having laid down the principle of aviation, devoting years to this task. He foresaw nearly all the forms, parachute and montgolfier, but by boldly adhering to the "heavier than air" principle he constructed the first artificial bird." Owned by Remi #?

I know someone with an urgent need for an InstallShield Developer in NE Ohio. It looks like a single project, but a big job. I hesitated to post this because I'm not sure if it's an advertisement or not. But because it might help someone, I'll take my lumps if it's considered out of line. I'm not a recruiter or anything, an email just came to me because the company in question is pretty desperate and looking for help everywhere. I figured that it might be a windfall for someone who needs work. Companies in dire need on short notice might be willing to pay a premium. PM me if you're interested. Owned by Remi #?

I saw King Arthur a few nights ago. I thought it was really good. One of the things that I liked the most was that it presented one of the alternate views of the legend behind the search for the Holy Grail (San Greal) vs what some historians think might have been the search for Royal Blood (Sang Real) that motivated whatever person is really behind the legend.

I was responding to the ferret guy, not you. Owned by Remi #?

I get his point. What makes you assume I don't? Do you think I don't get it because don't agree with it? No, I just disagree. And the comment about death rather than sacrificing rights is complete nonsense. I didn't say anything like that. I said that I would rather face risks than condone violating people rights. The right I was talking about was the right of SOMEONE ELSE not to be subjected to an illegal search. I don't care when, where, or why. It has nothing at all to do with flying. FORGET about flying. The question is When is it okay to violate someone's rights so that someone else is more secure? Owned by Remi #?

The original topic had nothing to do with flying being a "right" or if searching someone was "wrong". Almost everyone agrees that flying is a privledge and that it's ok to search people. The discussion is about profiling. Owned by Remi #?

I'd like to see the laws / rules applied equally and fairly, that's all. The author thinks profiling might be a good idea. I disagree. I would not condone letting the police enter someone's house and search it because the residents fit a certain prolife. I also can't condone searching someone at an airport because they fit a certain profile. If one person can't carry a knife aboard a flight, no one should. It would be silly to just make knives illegal for some people based on profile. I think it's just as wrong to search someone based on how they look. I'm okay with weapons restrictions on planes for everyone, and okay with being searched. We should be searching everyone or searching randomly, not basing inspection on ethnicity, skin color, gender, or nationality. That's both pointless and a violation of rights. Owned by Remi #?

Article [II.] A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Article [IV.] The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. I've always been a supporter of the 2nd Amendment too. But if we're going to screw the 4th, I think we should take a good hard look at #2 as well. Owned by Remi #?

Yeah, yeah. I get it now. Owned by Remi #?

Except in airports? Then it's okay to violate them? Owned by Remi #?

Your point is that profiling works. I sure won't deny that and never tried to. That isn't the issue being discussed. The issue was violating someone else's 4th Amendment rights so that you feel safer. Regarding profiling. We all know that the vast majority of violent crime is committed by men. Maybe men in general should be exempted from Constitutional protection and thrown into jail every time they act macho. That would work. It would be profiling and it would reduce crime A LOT. Owned by Remi #?

The right I'm talking about is protection from illegal seach. I know it's not a "right" to travel on a plane. I disagree with profiling people. Owned by Remi #?

I'm listening. I didn't start this as a challenge. A lot of people have made great points. Owned by Remi #?

They are expressing appeciation. That's great. I wouldn't think twice about a sticker that said "I Admire our Troops". or "Thanks for the hard work" or "Welcome Home" or "Good Job" I still don't think that proclaiming to support something is supporting it. Appreciation is not the same as support. Owned by Remi #?

Please show me where I beat up on anyone. I stated that I thought most people couldn't explain what they were doing other than displaying a poster. It would be great if those stickers said "Please Support" or "Think About" or "Send Money to Help" Our Troops. But they don't. They say "I Support". Why? Owned by Remi #?

The government thinks it's ok not to give someone who's been in a life-long relationship leave to care for a sick partner so that we can shovel more money into raising future taxpayers? It's ok for the government to give Social Security Survivor benefits to one person who's relationship was "legal" but deny them to another person who's relationship was not "legal" even though all 4 people involved paid into Social Security? The unrecognized partner's money goes back into the pot? Sorry, we need that for um... football uniforms. We want our kids to have what they need so that they grow up to be good taxpayers. It's ok for 2 people to pay into a Government pension plan for an entire career, but when they die, one of their partners gets to continue to receive income and then we tell the other partner sorry, it's our money now? We need um.... library books so that kids will be smarter and get better jobs and pay more taxes. All people in unrecognized partnerships are already paying Federal, State, Local, School, and Property taxes just like everyone else. Many who choose never to have children still pay school taxes. The government gives extra tax breaks to people with kids ON TOP of the other legal rights and incentives for marriage. You don't have to have kids if you're legally married. It's not ok to tell people who nuture relationships and pay taxes just like everyone else that they have to contribute, but they don't get the same benefits as their peers. I don't know anyone who minds paying school taxes even though they have no children in schools, but I know a couple of people who lost partners and then shared homes or livelihoods because they didn't have access to the protections the government gives legally married couples. I don't mind paying may share of taxes for welfare, even though I don't plan to use the service. But it pisses me off knowing that I'm paying into Social Security and have been all my life, and when I die if I'm survived by my SO they're going to (in my mind) steal my money. Some of the rights that the government gives married couples can be obtained independently through the courts, be it's a nightmare and gets really, really expensive to achieve. Owned by Remi #?
