No, Steve, the blog items of the football score and the McDonald case were not purposely linked, at least not by me; they were two things I saw on the same day.<BR/><BR/>But it does remind me of another like occurrance in a court of law: when a judge orders that testimony be "stricken from the record." Jurors are supposed to forget something that they watched as if it never happened. This may have some merit from time to time - when counsel or a witness pulls a cheap stunt. But it seems that a judge need only instruct the jury that the judge's opinion was that that part was illegitimate, but pretend that the jury's going to forget it by striking it from the record.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620822221586726516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204289.post-1131286382604412712005-11-06T08:13:00.000-06:002005-11-06T08:13:00.000-06:00It is too easy to remember something that never ha...It is too easy to remember something that never happened, even though the field goal happened. Official records are kept, but they are but a brief synopsis of what really happened at the event. History becomes a game of telephone - stories passed down the line and changed to suit either the POV of the teller or the current political view. What to believe, what to believe.<BR/><BR/>i used to believe in science until i found that they conveniently ignore fact to keep stolid but erronious points of view. i wonder how much today's business and industry sits on prior innovation and waddles it howdt from time to time to keep the masses happy. Did Maxwell Smart have a cell phone in the 60s?<BR/> But even if the PTB are removed, nobody knows much in the way of what to do wothout the PTB. our energy problem is one of transport and containment, not fuel availability. we have all the energy that can ever be used - a matter of form - not function.<BR/><BR/> Freddie Mercury said it best in the BoRep, Is this the real life? Or is this fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.<BR/>Yet there is another there out there.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11361304171981838568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204289.post-1131275049516579782005-11-06T05:04:00.000-06:002005-11-06T05:04:00.000-06:00Were your two posts purposely linked?
