“An unfinished life.”

[DaivdBehar]

An Ivy indoctrinated alumnus, filled with self confidence, arrogance, entitlement, but an idiot.

[DaivdBehar]

Ivy indoctrinated means, adherent of big, worthless, tyrannical government, a dirty Commie. This inexperienced Dem idiot was playing with a toy and wasting our money and lives on so many fronts. What was it we got out of going to the moon? Tang?

[DaivdBehar]

Like so many Kennedys he was the victim of pointless transportation. People said, you will never win Texas. Don't bother with a parade. He did not take their advice. The trip to the moon project was also expensive, fatal, pointless transportation. You go there, swing a golf club, return, bring rocks. These could have been retrieved safely at a tenth the cost, forcing development of robotics.

The same mistake is being made with Mars. Machines are 100 times better at any task you name, and cost one tenth to support. You also do no have to build a second Cape Canaveral to have a human return, the cost far exceeding the value of a life. Why not move people to Antarctica. It is 100 times friendlier to life than Mars. This time government is staying out of that business.

We should let the Chinese lead, build Mars, change its environment. Once the technology is easy and cheap, the place livable, we go there. Take over by force, after hacking and stealing their tech secrets.

JFK took shits that did more to fight communism than 'Dave Behar' ever will.

[David Nieporent]

Dude, we get it. You’re still bitter that you got rejected from these schools. Get over it.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

McGowan v. Maryland was decided on May 29, 1961, but these authors inexplicably reached gymnastically for a birthday unrelated to the Supreme Court. Is this the level of scholarship one should expect or accept from (certain) faculty members at Georgetown and South Texas? Were no research assistants available?

[DaivdBehar]

Artie. Were you played by Al Pacino in a movie about a lawyer?

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Can't slip anything past this guy.

[Queen Amalthea]

He's got a mind like a loose, quilted trap, that's for sure.

[DaivdBehar]

I would like to hire you. You did a good job.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Check that assessment with Henry T. Fleming.
