Similar, but grasses instead of hedges .

Of your post #7, respectfully, I must disagree. You wrote: What a jackass, all that effort because his sons a pothead.Typical irrational liberal behavior in otherwise “booksmart” people.

All that effort was stimulated by confiscation laws.

Lest I seem to appear as a nit picker, consider that there were two Inquesitions. The Roman Inquisition was the one that tried Galilio.

Had he been tried by teh Spanish Inquisition, his fate would have been quite different. Because the Spanish Inquisition was funded by confiscation of the property of the accused, all accused confessed, and lost their property as well as their lives.

But in doing so, the family minivan became “an accessory to the crime.”

I could understand that if it was an SUV but a minivan? I thought they were incapable of crimes???

I don’t know anything about the science but my take on the article was that he had accomplished something special. If what he’s doing is standard technique then obviously there’s no chance of a patent for the process.

Thanks for the heads-up. I don’t get around much!

Even private aircraft have been seized. Asset forfeiture laws are an invitation for the abuse of government power.

If they can't tax it they can seize it. If they can't seize it they can condemn it. The gubbmint has figured out how to own it all. But those old techniques are giving way to a new (old) method. Bail outs! Give away everything you and the next six generations could ever earn.

It’s a fake. Just checked Snopes. Also, oranges are typically propagated from grafts, not seeds. I don’t think you can be sure of getting the desired results every time from a seed.

Hint: It has to do with the vehicle....

Well, 1984 Ford Aerostars were available in the fall of 1983 like most other new cars.

[Responsibility2nd]

Nope.

Nope, nope, nope.

The Aerostar was first introduced in late 1985 as a 1986 model.

FWIW, the kid couldn't possibly have been driving a 1984 Aerostar. Was no such thing.

And many other previous comments also report on the many, many other inconsistencies found in this article.
