I, myself, knew it was an old threat, but not nearly as long as you and others have pointed out (thank you). I just thought there would be *some* updated information contained here, especially for those of us not too familiar with the subject. We need to always keep in mind that there's a constant stream of people just now coming into politics, including the next generation of FReepers. So we shouldn't assume that just because we know something about one thing or another, that everyone else does too. A lot of people here seem to do that, a foolish mistake in my view, particularly on the demonRat-commie connection.
Anyway, thanks again for the information. I think many at least now know more than they did before. And that's never a bad thing. :)
And you’re correct.
One of the reasons I posted what I did yesterday was simply because people DO NOT KNOW things.
I am probably one of the few people here that really digs into a lot of things. My background in the sciences gives me a wide background in many subjects. My real field is physics and radio theory. But, I’m pretty good in a lot of other things too and I’m not so specialized as some folks are, that I can’t put two and two together.
An example is a fight I watched take place once about “Positive and Negative” lightning strikes.
There’s no such thing.
ALL electrical discharges, every single one of them, take place when a large quantity of electrons move from a negatively charged surface to a positively (or less negatively) charges surface. Essentially, a surplus of electrons tries to equalize the charges between two surfaces.
Meteorologists will say “positive strikes” and ‘negative strikes’ which throws people off. What they are ACTUALLY referring to is the direction of current flow, but to them there’s no real physics involved, but more of a vernacular, or a lingo that between them means something. To me, or a real physicist it means nothing.
(by way of explanation, electrons can be stripped from the out valence shells of atoms causing charges, this is easy to demonstrate in static electricity experiments. To remove a PROTON from the nucleus of an atom takes a nuclear reaction.... think about that)
