• Be happy, not just rich, says UN chief Ban Ki-moon

  • I expect that the environmental activist metaphors here should help inspire us and teach us a lesson about being more earth-friendly, but galaxies and human societies are two different things.

• Biggest US nuclear bomb dismantled in Texas

  Tue Oct 25, 2011
  • To all the rude and arrogant liberals on this forum: I am a conservative and I agree that there are too many nukes and it's a good thing that these bombs have been dismantled.
