"The Trial of Henry Kissinger"...What Do Those Who Actually KNOW About This Man Think?
Currently watching the documentary-version of the book "The Trials of Henry Kissinger" by Christopher Hitchens--boy, he seems to be coming up a lot with me lately, first his debates on FOX and then his news articles--and it's intriuged me, and since we CLEARLY have no shortage of political pundits online, I thought I'd ask those who might actually KNOW of this man and these issues already...Kissinger--what's your opinion, diplomatic hero or war criminal?

Attention hardcopy book fans:
Borders is going out of business, and all remaining stores will start liquidating this Friday. This makes me sad, since they're the second major corporate HQ in Ann Arbor to close in the last five years, we're literally U of M and nothing else at this point.

Someone Wants To Know.
So I was walking around my school (because that's what I do in the summer) and this nerdy girl game up to me (because she also likes to go to school in the summer) and asked me (because everyone values my opinion very highly at my school) if people had wings, could they fly. Not knowing that she was serious and had been aparently contemplating this all summer, I laughed and hurt her feelings.

But now I'm wondering....

With the right wings they could. It would all require the right wings.

Usually it's the non-nerdy kids who are in school in the summer...
Used to be that way, but not anymore. Now it's a balanced combination of stupid people and brilliant geniuses with overstuffed schedules.

I'm nine, how old are all of you? And how come you people are contradicting each other? And here's a hint of how nerdy I am: I was at school for marching band!

"With the right wings they could. It would all require the right wings. "

Actually no, it requires a bit more. You have to have the right feet, so that you can launch yourself off the ground. You have to have the right skeletal structure (fused) so that your powerful wing muscles have something to push off of. Etc. There's a lot more than just wings.

Well the nerdy girl was fat, I'm assuming that wouldn't help...
Assuming she meant if you had the right wings(1) instead of arms - you could glide(2) until your arms were too tired to hold you(3); but you don't have the chest muscles to beat the wings enough to fly(4).

1. The right wings = large enough to lift your body weight at a reasonable air-speed.
2. glide = leap from a cliff or tall building and control your decent and direction enough to survive the experience without harm.
3. Try placing 3 chairs such that - without bending your arms or legs - your feet are on one and your stretched out hands are on the other two. How long you could hold that position for is how long you could glide for. Once your arm muscles give up your falling.
4.fly = maintain airspeed without losing height by flapping your wings.

rat and STA, great information! Thank you, both.

A breastbone that stuck out perpendicularly from your chest about six feet wouldn't hurt the cause either, I don't think.

I don't believe that we can Frankenstein this one here, peeps. I'm not making any negative judgments about it though. Recycling people is very green, when you consider it.

Is being a spiteful codependent dictator a legitimate strategy?
I appreciate that you aren't supposed to hold grudges. However, is being honorable a legitimate strategy. I would seem to be in a person's interest to be trusted. Since at the high levels people know each other, am I cheating by not betraying my allies?

High GR, semi high pot game?
I'd like to establish one game with people I haven't played much with. I'd prefer those with high GR, but the final roll-call will be up to me. I'm only establishing one game here. If there are extra's, you guys can form more. If you really want me there, I'll see what I can do.

Woodrow Wilson
So I read about this Woodrow Wilson variant, where in true League of Nations style all negotiation happens in public press exclusively. I must admit I am intrigued by this, mostly because I have no idea how to backstab people this way. ;)
