My understanding was that its production was outlawed for any purpose, but you could be right--I only have direct knowledge of home use. > The recycled plastic > products are likly a better idea anyway. Almost certainly, although its use as surface boards on decks has been a problem--it gets really slippery when it's wet. Eric Lucas

Well posted, but you didn't read the translation I gave you: "anti-American" = "dare to question the power-mongers who use fear to get people to hand over their rights". I'm sure you'll be declared anti-American as a result, and probably have a few other insults hurled at you. It's the way they win unwinnable arguments.

Yes, but to acknowledge it would be to negate his entire argument. Rather than acknowledge actual data, the unsettled/BAH creature prefers to win arguments with ignorance. >> >> Claiming that some popular hero in the past held the views you are >>> advocating is also a common trick.

He did the same thing with my attempt to add to the irony, then blathers on something about me not getting it. Whatever. >>Without Einstein the atomic bomb would have come later, so his >>part in it killed a *lot* of people under the guise of war. >>The fact is he and his lot wanted to drop the bomb on Europe, >>but that war ended without it, leaving only the Pacific War >>and Japan to on which to expend the bombs he helped to create. >> >>Your hot button post is devoid of substance.
