      Lockheed Martin Corp said on Wednesday it had made a technological breakthrough in developing a power source based on nuclear fusion, and the first reactors, small enough to fit on the back of a truck, could be ready for use in a decade.

              I stand corrected. I will stay my anger for another year.

                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      There may be one or two other people here who are disappointed by that...say...a guy who has lost around 40k in unvested shares of stock in his/her company in the last month. Sorry kids, the trip to Disney World is off!!

                        What are they down, like 25%? Is that a free fall? Russia and Venezuela getting the crap kicked out of them doesn't hurt my feelings.

                          Not true, Gas and oil is a major industry in my area, and depressed prices equals depressed (and unemployed) people.

                              Really, you are going to accuse me of saying BYU and the church sucks. You ought to start posting again on CB. Right now they could use some more true blue, loyal, raw raw guys over there to rip on anyone who happens to criticize something dealing with BYU and the church.

                              I know you are so well respected around here and your claim that I say BYU and the church suck would carry some weight. After all you are a scientist and so anything you say is valid.

                              It's too bad you use that credibility to spread horse manure.

                                It was a joke, you dunce. That is what he was doing over there.

                                And what in the hell does "raw raw" mean?
