Age is Not Mandatory to Possess Common Sense
Posted on August 29, 2010 at 1:04am 6 Comments 0 Likes
Lately, I've noticed a trend starting on this site, especially amongst the older. . .achem. . . I meant more EXPERIENCED. . . gentlemen. It's nothing that doesn't go on in normal society, but it's relatively new here. I'm speaking of the tendency to dismiss, even deride, the opinions of us young bucks based purely upon our age.
Surely, there's a lot of younger men and boys on here who are what my granddad used to call "broadcasters without sponsors", but age is not the only… Continue

It stumped my wife too but I found this:
Material evidence of possible contact
A team of academics headed by the University of York's Mummy Research Group and BioArch,[12] while examining a Peruvian mummy at the Bolton Museum, found it had been embalmed using a tree resin. Before this it was thought that Peruvian mummies were naturally preserved. The resin, found to be that of an araucarian conifer related to the 'monkey puzzle tree', was from a variety found only in Oceania and probably New Guinea. "Radiocarbon dating of both the resin and body by the University of Oxford's radiocarbon laboratory confirmed they were essentially contemporary, and date to around CE1200."[13]

While looking I found this article too:

Paul said… Yeah, the coyotes around here are enormous. No one hunts them and the land I'm moving onto hasn't been hunted on in close to 15 years, so they are fat and healthy. I've got an AR, I didn't know if it was too much gun though.
I'll try and work with the .22, but I really want to stay as humane as possible. And if I can salvage the hide, that's just a bonus. It's mostly for varmint control, I don't want them going after my older dog or sister.

These two questions underlie and inform every social arrangement from the resolution of schoolyard squabbles to the meta-structure of human societies. They are also the basis of political philosophy. Professor Tamar Gendler uses the work of three titans of the discipline, Thomas Hobbes, John Rawls, and Robert Nozick, as a lens to guide us through the taut debate about the role of…See More
