What about freedom FROM religion?

Why would someone be looking at your socks?"

The gestapo has obviously seen all of me.

At this late stage of the game, maybe my socks are the least offensive view.

Just a guess.

Do you have any with funny designs? I confess to a pair of black socks with quart-inch Mickey Mouse heads; a souvenoir from Disney World that I could wear at work. At a post-Halloween sale last November, saw a chance purchase of some Gryffindor socks. Not that many people will see them.

I used to, but not at the moment. My wife has some humorous socks that she wears with slacks.
She doesn't wear as many dresses as she did 50+ years ago, but neither does anybody else, even if they're not septuagenarians who used to.

Duh. Are they giving you First Aid classes where you live, Sybil?

Terry, I've had more first aid training than I care to think about.

I mainly trust highly functional people , Sybil.

Terry, you are in no position to choose who you are going to trust. Whoever happens to be on the duty roster is who you have to trust. Yeah, it sucks to be you.

Interesting to see you are familiar with the procedure. Do you have a catheter, Sybil?

No, I just send over the people who do. Don't worry, you will still feel numb.

Your expertise in such procedures is interesting, Sybil.

You just read on a rightwing blog somewhere that NASA was just pencil-pushing bureaucrats who didn't actually do any real work; you accepted the claim at face value and were to lazy to fact check it for yourself.

The fact is, anyone remotely interested in this nation's space program is aware that NASA has been involved in world class engineering, planning, design, assembly for decades.

NASA's Ames Research Center, one of ten NASA field centers, is located in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. Since 1939, Ames has led NASA in conducting world-class research and development in aeronautics, exploration technology and science aligned with the center's core capabilities.
https://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/about/index.html

NASA Jet Propulsion Lab - The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating the NASA Deep Space Network.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Propulsion_Laboratory

NASA John Glenn Research Center - Glenn Center excels in researching and developing innovative technologies for both aeronautics and space flight. A multitude of NASA missions have included elements from Glenn, from the Mercury and Gemini projects to the Space Shuttle Program and the International Space Station. The center's core competencies include air-breathing and in-space propulsion and cryogenics, communications, power energy storage and conversion, microgravity sciences, and advanced materials

NASA Michoud Assembly Facility - Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans is a world-class manufacturing facility providing vital support to NASA exploration and discovery missions. Michoud is NASA-owned and managed for the agency by the Marshall Space Flight Center. Michoud's capabilities include the manufacture and assembly of critical hardware components for exploration vehicles under development at Marshall and other NASA centers.

All the psychos travel in the same circles to spread their fears and conspiracy theories. This explains why they all share the same theories, such as Bldg. #7, but are all stuck on "why".

It's an observation. You're an idiot because you espouse idiotic beliefs about the world.

* yawn * Not even a creative justification of an insult.

Explain precisely how American private industry strictly on it's own initiative and vision would have taken it upon themselves to organize, plan, and execute an Apollo mission to the Moon, a rover mission to Mars, a New Horizons mission to Pluto.

No need. It's history.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a federally funded research and development center in California. The laboratory is now owned and sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and administrated and managed by the California Institute of Technology.

JPL isn't NASA.

I accept your tacit confession that you were lying your flabby ass off that NASA supposedly doesn't do engineering, development, design, assembly.

Word stuffing. JPL isn't NASA. NASA doesn't design or build space vehicles.
Repetition fallacy. Pivot fallacy.

I understand exactly what you're getting at. You think drugs should be legal for adults. You think the government has no right to prohibit an adult from choosing whatever he wants to do with his body.

You are ignoring the State's right to be free of the plight of mass drug addiction. Any solution has to respect the will of the people and protect the kind of society they want to have.
