For me the question is what is the value of spending much time remembering and even thinking about something some moron said to me in front of Walmart. I have some knowledge of “the retail universe” and it is best observed, and it SHOULD be, from a safe emotional distance.

Not to mention that the biggest reason there haven’t been foreign invaders on our soil in so long is because of geography more than anything else. The same is true for Canada and most of South America (if you don’t count the DEA as foreign invaders).

Or at least the Revolutionary War was fought on what would become US Soil. Japan actually invaded U.S. Soil during WWII, Attu and Kiska Islands in the Aleutians, and bombed Dutch Harbor on June 3rd, 1942. It was an attempt to divert the USS Hornet and USS Enterprise from Pearl Harbor, so they would not be able to respond to the attack on Midway. Thanks to ingenious codebreaking maneuvers, instead of them luring us into a trap, it was us springing a trap of our own with 3 carriers(including a hastily repaired USS Yorktown). THe History Channel a few years ago did a show on the USS Enterprise(CV-6), and in the opening episode, described it as a lethal combination of Pennsylvania Steel and Washington Timber.

I’m pretty sure Pearl Harbor was US soil, although in fairness to that guy, the Japanese didn’t invade.

I’m pretty sure the Revolutionary War was fought on US soil, too.

I guess the guy who did not know much about the War of 1812 has never heard the Star Spangled Banner, our National Anthem. You could call it the First September 11th, Maryland honors September 12th as Defenders Day. This battle was 1 month after the White House and the Capital had been burned by the British.

Or maybe they had the problem because they DID consult with Dixy Lee Ray before building the reactors.

Tensor,

It finally came, but it’s only 100 pages of relatively large print, so I think I’ll be OK.

Should be a classic. I can’t wait to see this thing.

Expect me to go chapter by chapter through it at some point either here or at HA.

Whoa, watch yourself there, pal! That’s weapons-grade, Class A crazy, high-octane, and so volatile you can huff it from a mile away. We’ll have to split up, and take it on in shifts. Each of us here should read successive chapters, to limit sustained exposure. (Also, remove all sharp objects from the vicinity of your eyes for several hours before and after reading any amount.)
