The CN tower is 1818 ft tall but the top 100 ft is a radio mast. I've been to the upper observation level: quote: Then there are mountains ... I've also been to Paradise on Mt Rainier quote:

Edited by Phat, : No reason given. Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. –RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." –Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith Paul was probably SO soaked in prayer nobody else has ever equaled him.~Faith :)

Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time. Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.

Anthropogenic climate change... what a load of nonsense that is!
HBD Whoever calls me ignorant shares my own opinion. Sorrowfully and tacitly I recognize my ignorance, when I consider how much I lack of what my mind in its craving for knowledge is sighing for... I console myself with the consideration that this belongs to our common nature. - Francesco Petrarca "Nothing is easier than to persuade people who want to be persuaded and already believe." - another Petrarca gem. Ignorance is a most formidable opponent rivaled only by arrogance; but when the two join forces, one is all but invincible.

During an appearance on Jim Bakker’s television program last week, End Times author Paul McGuire declared that the attacks on President Trump are a sign that America is in “the greatest spiritual battle in the history of all of mankind.” McGuire doubled down on that assertion on his radio program on Tuesday, insisting that a spiritual war is being waged against Trump by Luciferian “advanced beings” who use “supernatural multidimensional power” to control the world.

We also have a phrase in English, "You have got to be kidding," for when we can't believe anybody could be that stupid. But sometimes they really are. An honest discussion is more of a peer review than a pep rally. My toughest critics here are the people who agree with me. -- ringo

But the structure of the letter looks so much like a joke that I'm leaning that way. It reminds me of when someone posted an excerpt that was clearly from the letters page of Viz, a satirical comic that publishes letters like this:

It is suspiciously lacking in spelling mistakes - but it appears to be a letter to the editor so the editor may have fixed it up. I'll tell my story again: In 1972, Richard Nixon was re-elected by a landslide, even as Watergate loomed on the horizon. One commentator suggested that America preferred a smart crook over an honest fool. Ever since then, if somebody prefers to be seen as an honest fool rather than a smart crook, I take his word for it. Cases in point: Donald Trump and ICANT. An honest discussion is more of a peer review than a pep rally. My toughest critics here are the people who agree with me. -- ringo

This woman is wearing a MAGA hat to symbolize her belief that the government shouldn't be spending any money on border security.

A history buff.  What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy The reason that we have the scientific method is because common sense isn't reliable. -- Taq
