Hell, stupid college kids who like to throw rocks at men with guns got killed at Kent State, for that matter.

My AGW thread has detoured.

I read a while back a recollection of an engineer who went to do a contract in China sometime in the... 80's? 90's?

After the Chinese engineers with whom he was working got to know him, they pulled him aside out of earshot of their bosses and asked... "Was it true, did America really land on the moon?"

Yeah, they'd've to resort to something on the scale of a nuke to control everyone. & it's not easy to hide that fact that one of those went off.

Stossel seems shocked that those who believe in it don't want to hear anything from those with a differing opinion.

I find that funny.

It's a longstanding liberal "debate" tactic. Shout as loudly as you can at your opponent until he shuts the hell up.

It's because they don't have anything resembling the truth on their side on just about any issue you can name. If they were smart enough to understand the logic of debate, they would be smart enough to stop being liberals.

Yeah but I guess the alternative is to appear smug, and that doesn't play well, either.

Soon as he gets the Nobel Prize for physics or chemistry. But, hey, that might actually happen.
