    Well slag and dross rises to the top just as feces float in a toliet bowl. The most useless are often the most vocal and evident in a society.

    I had the same argument on wine and alcohol and pointing out that Noah got drunk when he got off the ark did not make the other person happy to many people try to rewrite the bible and the rest of history as well.
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    On Cowboy Corner, I heard an old rancher say that when Noah was dealing with the flood, they only got a half inch of rain in west Texas.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    1950, I'd go back and kill Jona Salk before he developed the witches brew that contaminated 98 million Americans. This figure doesn't include what it has done to later generations.

    Traveling back will always be part of *your* timeline and can never be changed. You would create a parallel dimension the moment you went back, and it wouldn't matter if you shot yourself or not.

    I have given this some thought & given that it "is" possible to time travel - & return, I would take a number of trips. The first would be back to around 1775 & hook up with my hero's like Washington, Franklin, Adams, Paine, et al, & my favorite Tom Jefferson.

    Then I'd go & fight with Tim Murphy & watch him make the shot that many say, changed & won the war. Fight on until the end & watch the birth of the US.

    Then I'd snag a bunch of mint condition coins return to my 30s & sell them for big bucks & buy Apple & Microsoft etc & buy a lot more guns & hunt & fish the world, raise Quarter Horses & cattle on a big *** ranch with a real nice 1 mile range.

    The I'd take my millions/billions & ensure that Osama Obummer never got elected (or hopefully any of the other scumbags).

    Salk developed a "witches brew"? Is this supposed to be a joke or just some
    insanity? Salk developed the vaccine to prevent polio - how in world is that twisted
    into something bad?

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    I was still scratching my head over that one, too. He must not know anyone who had polio.

    Before politicians ruined my country and way of life by allowing immigration to run wild whilst they sit in their Ivory Towers surveying their handywork.

    If they only earned room & board, and couldn't own anything or have families... (dehumanize them)... Then that would remove a huge conflict of interest, and most/all would have your interests instead of their own.

    Some Salk Polio Vacine made using cells from the Rehsus Monkey was found to be contaminated by the SV-40 virus. While 98 million Americans took the vacine only 30 million got the contaminated vacine.
    While SV-40 has been found in cancerous tissues surveys indicate that those who carry the virus are no more likely to develop cancer than those who don't.
    Still it is a cross species contamination and one that was unlikely to have ever occurred on any noticable scale otherwise.
