the 1990s, our holiday from history.

A memorable line in a great editorial.

This truth about that MFer KKKlinton, needs to be shouted from every mountain top.

A Must READ BUMP

"Never Forget" BUMP

I hate to correct the great Krauthammer, but Carl Sagan did not devise the formula to estimate the probability of intelligent life in the universe. The formula was developed by the great visionary radio astronomer Frank Drake, and is known as the "Drake Equation." I believe Drake was the first radio astronomer to use a radio telescope to search for extra-terrestrial intelligence ("SETI"), I think in the early 1960's.

Sagan only popularized Drake's work in his many books.

Krauthammer should not forget his fact checking!

What are the odds that our species will manage to contain this awful knowledge without self-destruction--not for a billion years or a million or even a thousand, but just through the lifetime of our children?

Here's how we can survive and civilization can survive:

We demonstrate that all on the planet who will use terrorism or WMD's will be destroyed from the face of the earth without question or delay. If you show no inclination toward terrorism or WMD's, you will live happily ever after. End of story.

We so believe in the rightness of our cause that we will accept the responsiblity for exacting these standards for coexistance on Earth.

(This will never happen because we do not have the will to survive and we do not have the confidence in the rightness of our beliefs.)

Terrific article.

There is a real question whether we can win the race. Year One of the new era, 2002, passed rather peaceably. Year Two will not: 2003 could be as cataclysmic as 1914 or 1939.

Unfortunately, I think Krauthammer will prove to be prophetic on this point.

We are now paying the wages of the 1990s, our holiday from history.

The world was Clinton's playground, er... playpen.

And yet, his wife continues to fiddle while willing dolts in NY allow the Klinton betrayal of America to fester even now.

One word. BASTARD!
