  1. The origin of mankind

    I am not advocating alien influence for construction since I have no idea as to why aliens would have an interest in such a primitive species as humans. The mystery still remains as to how granite and limestone was cut with primitive tools fabricated from copper and poor quality iron. Iron is only made strong with the additional of certain elements, otherwise, iron is too soft for any extensive stone fabrication.

    Dream on. It will never happen.

    The only way Laissez Faire Capitalism works is in a small group with no outsiders where everyone is in a close relationship.

    I agree, in that society is a complex structure with individuals and groups vying for basic needs all the way to imperialist ideology. A society would never function without rules that apply equally to all. Unfortunately, money rules and the acquisition of is creating a neo-feudalist society. Corporate fascism to be more precise.

    I happen to have quite a bit of experience with carbide tipped chisels. These are the finest tools for stone masonry work and are appropriate for a wide range of applications. To sharpen a carbide tipped chisel one must only use a silicone carbide grinding wheel as opposed to standard bench grinding wheels which would ruin the the tool. Trow and Holden demonstrates carbide tipped chisels which they manufacture. These chisels are not cheap, but are absolutely worth the money. The stone being fabricated in the videos is granite. http://www.rockandtools.com/differences-between-carbide-and-steel/

    He fails to consider the population problem in India and the myriad problems such as very little sanitation, children born and living their entire lives on the street, disease, food shortages and so forth. Any species that grows beyond resources will begin to diminish in numbers.

    I posted that link which refers to that act as part of my comments.

    Texas if full of rattlesnakes, copperheads, cattle, coal and oil. Need I forget, beautiful babes with an attitude. I know a few!

    Have you seen most of this state? Very little grows here and any cattle ranching is difficult. Grazing on public lands is legal with permits. I was just making a point about the original funding of land grand universities, nothing more. FYI AAU schools share Federal research funding and without that funding, there is much progress that would never happen.

    It was, but that is all we had. Also had a 22 rifle.

    Yes he did state that! I imagine that is on YouTube.

    Only a 20 gauge? I went rabbit hunting when I was a kid with a double barrel 10 gauge. LOL!

    Land grant schools which 'The Ohio State University' is was originally funded and chartered by the Federal government. I guess you must have attended a private school. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land-grant_university

    To add, every system has a so called negative side. It depends on the society that instituted that particular system and the general consensus of the population.

    The anti socialists here would rather see people dying on the streets rather than having compassion for those in need. Ron Paul once said that if one has no insurance and is sick or in need of surgery, then one should beg a church to help. That was an absurd statement.

    What country are you referring to? Texas public universities are allowing open carry of sidearms, not small children. Are children being drugged in the UK?

    I guess everyone is nothing more than an individual on an island with no social connections with no responsibility to anyone in your world view.

    I guess according to the dead document Scalia Constitutionalists, all the land grant colleges should be shut down since such institutions of higher learning were originally funded by the government. I wonder if Brian attended a public or land grant university? My alma mater is 'The Ohio State University' a top tier research institution and member of AAU.

    He would love Texas. Now in Texas starting this fall, anyone attending a Texas public university can open carry a sidearm in a classroom. Abject stupidity!

    I just don't agree with your ideology regarding the Constitution. Further, you don't include references to your argument, but also lacks details. Your argument is framed as follows " I read the Constitution and all other documents, the facts are obvious and therefor I am right and you are wrong".

    I have many wealthy clients that are from Texas. Most of them are disgusting people with way too much money and power. Unfortunately, Texas borders my state of New Mexico.

    What are you complaining about? You area has beautiful National forest land which you and all benefit from thanks to the government.
  23. Socialism does work

    Regressives? You narrative sounds like Republican Tea Party talking points that were created by revisionists.
  24. Socialism does work

    I stated national forests in my post and you claimed that was unconstitutional and now you claim the opposite for your area.

    Promote the general welfare is in several places in the Constitution.
