There are a tremendous number of people injured and killed in falls every year. I await the study supporting the repeal of the law of gravity....It can't be far off.

[Gabz]

You're right.

But the guy does know his stuff. I've read most of what he's written on this subject over the years.

[Gabz]

Good one, my FRiend.

On the left Winston Churchill; on the right FDR. Now, please tell me, what was the point of identifying those two gentlemen?

Winnie smoked cigars, FDR smoked cigarettes. And I'm sure that Winston's folks smoke when he was growing up in Blenheim.

Michael Fumento as the author of an article fighting the smoke gnatzies.....Now, for some reason I find that extremely funny.

Muy fumar es de nada! Excellente Senior Fumento!

[Gabz]

Michael Fumento has been writing articles fighting the smoke gnatzies for years. The guy knows his stuff.

[CSM]

Definitely sounds like it, thanks for bringing him to my attention. I will definitely keep my eye out for his work.

I still find it funny that his last name is associated with the fight against the smoke gnatzies......and yes, I know, my spanish sux!

[Gabz]

Check out Steve Milloy's JunkScience.com

I believe he has links to Fumento's stuff..........I also think he's a regular contributor to TownHall.com

[CSM]

Thanks again. It's miller time, have a great evening....

[Gabz]

I'm not working tonight - so it's been MIller time for a while for me :)

Have a good one, talk soon.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Doesn't "Fumento" mean "On Fire" in Spanish? LOL!

Good article. He also writes for "Reason" magazine. He IS good. :)

[Gabz]

Thank You........you're right, he writes for Reason, not TownHall, although I've seen stuff of his there as well.

"I'm not working tonight - so it's been Miller time for a while for me :)"

Hey! How many do I have to slam to catch up? LOL! Maybe I should open the Cyber Bar tonight? ;)

[Gabz]

LOL!!!

I'm only on my second

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, speed it up, Woman! ;)

"It’s easy to agree with the ultimate goal, but inventing scientific outcomes and shutting down scientific debate as a means is as intolerable as it was when Nazi Germany “proved” the validity of eugenics."


Once opinion becomes law, intolerance becomes a criminal act.

[Gabz]

Nope - not tonight.

The yung'un is going to be at a ball game tomorrow night and the hubs and I get to go out for an actual adult evening :)

This part of one link I found when I Googled, "the snout of the camel is in the tent."

Summary 1. Electrophysiological recordings indicate that visual, auditory and somatosensory (cutaneous) modalities are principally represented in distinct loci in the midbrain of the frog,Rana pipiens. Visual inputs dominate activity in tectum; auditory and cutaneous inputs dominate activity in the medial and lateral torus semicircularis respectively (Figs. 1, 2, 3).

I hope this helps to elucidate your querulous imploration.
