    Hi Wendy, And, to some, he was a man's man. I was in the USAF [ '59 - '63 ] when he was there. He had a reputation as one mean SOB. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, I, for one, would love to see this bastard living in a tent on the sidewalk. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Peter, The 'story' that I heard was that he stood up in the aircraft & pulled the ripcord, hoping to use the canopy as a pull-out device. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, From an article I found: Virginia law prevents six-year-olds being tried as adults. And the child would also be too young to be committed to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice if found guilty. But a judge could revoke the parents' custody of the boy and take him into the supervision of the state. Newport News: Condition of teacher shot by child improving - BBC News Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, What a complete & total dipshit: Trump takes credit for McCarthy Speaker win | The Hill He never saw a parade that he did not want to be at the head of. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, When Germany attacked Poland and bombed cities, Hitler's generals told him that this was against the rules of war. You only attack military targets. Hitler told them that the winners make the rules. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, The combatants in WW I were little more than cannon fodder.* The generals would just ask for 50,000 more, or more, whenever they wanted. In WW II, the US was determined not to wage the same type of warfare. Our mfg capabilities allowed us to carpet bomb our targets. I once read that only about 5% of the bombs dropped in WW II, actually hit their targets.

    Hi folks, And, let us not forget that this is the same people who promised us something better than ObamaCare within the next two weeks. Oh, the winning. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, IMO if a post gets us into a good discussion, then we are all better for it. I learn a lot from posts on this website; even some that I disagree with. Jerry Baumchen PS) I tried walking on water once => Blub, blub

    Hi Ken, That old saying is probably older than I am. It is not true. I had some great instructors that could have made more money if they had left the teaching profession. I also had a few [ damn few ], who IMO could not. The greatest instructor that I ever had left the profession for a number of years to go into land development. Once, he made his 'fortune,' he returned to the classroom. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, And, sometimes it is not: The Nazi's first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me. Rev. Martin Niemoeller Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, That is one way. I argue that the best way is to eliminate all political parties. For every office at every level, a person would run on what they stand for & who they are. I would settle for ranked choice voting since my argument is merely 'pie in the sky.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Just like in 1972 when CREEP decided that Sen. Geo. McGovern was the weakest D candidate when compared to Nixon. Nothing new here, folks; move along. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, There are a lot of restrooms on this Earth of ours that are just that way.* IMO it is only this country that has these hangups. Jerry Baumchen * I've been in quite a few. Not one iota of a problem. It is sort of like eating with your fork in your left hand. Not wrong, just different.

    Hi Keith, Since you do not have to be a member of the House to be Speaker, go for it. You will be better than any names that I have seen being suggested. 'BIGUN, HE'S THE ONE' I like the ring of that. Jerry Baumchen
