“We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.” - Ben Okri
MYSTERY: Was This the Very First 'Stealth' Bomber to Fly?
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Or does it just look like a B-2? *Advocates of the YB-49 long nursed the belief that the Air Force had deliberately sabotaged the program in preference for the B-36 and other, later bombers. Jack Northrop, founder of the company, believed that the Air Force canceled the YB-49 because he would not agree to a merger with Convair. A few dark rumors implied that the accidents suffered by the YB-49 prototypes had not been accidental at all, but rather the result of sabotage. No meaningful evidence has ever emerged to substantiate these allegations.* As ... more »

When you get right down to it, Democrats are just as out of touch and clueless as Republicans and just as contemptuous of the true left. Big ideas (like Social Security and Medicare) are too hard, not realistic. Wah wah. ... more »
