"Third, and last, no one saw this child? No one saw this child and thought to question it? In the sun? On a hot summer day? With the car not running? (Not a hole #3 this time – just hanging my head in frustration)" This by no means excuses the death, but I have a minivan with tinted windows and unless you are standing directly infront of the car you really cannot see inside with any defined clarity.

Now, I can see where people would get upset that the Vice President of the United States vulgarly insults a member of the Senate in the Senate Chamber. And I can also see how people would get mildly annoyed when Teresa Kerry told a reporter where to put his notebook. But this Jenna Bush thing. I first saw it on the Netscape news browser with an arti

Presonally I am partial to the onager for ease of aim. Getting the release point on the trebuchet is quite tricky. Interesting. What is the difference between the "tre" and the "ona"? Distance? Throw weight? Does the aiming ease lower the throwing stability for higher weights? IG </fon

A definition: Greek Fire was the secret weapon of the Eastern Roman Emperors. It is said to have been invented by a Syrian Engineer, one Callinicus, a refugee from Maalbek, in the seventh century (673 AD). The "liquid fire" was hurled on to the ships of their enemies from siphons and burst into flames on contact. As it was reputed to be inextinguishable and burned even on water, it caused panic and dread." IG

You need to give a few details. Is the besieged city walled? Do you care about the inhabitants? Are there hills around the city? One option is the Trebuchet. It is not entirely portable, but somewhat target able. I would also suggest (if the inhabitants do not matter) Greek Fire. http://nfo.edu/trebuche.htm You can knock down buildings that are inside the city. However, you will need men to defend the engine.

OK. Now, I cannot speak for the lefty lobby, and this seems to be a rather rational discussion of the topic, so I will bring out the other specter. Yes. I am going to use the “cu” word.

A constitutional amendment would prevent any state from being forced to recognize a homosexual marriage performed in another state, correct? So for those of you arguing from the "States Rights" position should be supporting the amendment, not going against it. I understand what you are saying, but I thi

Marriages are granted per state, and are guaranteed only to be legal in the state that granted it. So, the Vermont couple then has two choices. Stay in Vermont or question the legality of the ban as the case in Loving v. Virginia (388 U.S. 1 (1967) ) "Richard and Mildred Loving were married in

about 38 states already ban gay marriages I think therein lies the problem.
