The Creator of Kalashnikov rifle dies

@Flashman:

Looks like I’ll be a year short of getting a pension.

But the odds are that civilization will be destroyed by some religious fruitcake long before then.   :evil:

Religious Fruitcakes are the leading cause of death in world history.

@wittmann:

I try my best to use gargantuan as much as possible these days.
I know it means so much to all of us.

sounds like a gargantuanish plan to me wittmann… :-)

I believe those interested in politics do not read my history posts. (Otherwise how could they negative them?)
Thank you for your compliment, Malachi.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

@wittmann:

Today, the 4tb March, in 1193 the great Saladin died.
he was the greatest Muslim commander of his time, maybe ever.

So the best was 820 years ago….

A heck of story.  We talk about heroes and bravery now, everyone is a hero it seems.  No, going after a pirate in two small ships with no cannons so you could engage in hand to hand combat….THAT is brave and heroic.

Great story witt

Being born in Florence, living or dying  anywhere else, would be Hell.
So yes, I am afraid he did.
I won’t.

I have copies of most of his articles- at least the ones I thought were the most valuable.  The best I could do is scan them for you.  I’m glad I printed them off.  I don’t think you can find them anywhere.  The articles of most importance:

US shipping- still very good for AA50- a must have!!!
Tactics- also still applicable- also a must have for AA50

about other papers:

the Baltic Papers- 1-4- you can still pick up some ideas here but for the most part they are now useless.

Canadian Shield- pretty much dead in AA50

German turtle- may need this in AA50 for some endgames

India Complex- somewhat useful in the fact that you should ask yourself similar questions when building a complex anywhere.

Z42 Progression- won’t work because Canadian Shield is dead, however the concepts can help you keep your eyes peeled in other places on the new AA50 board.

KJF article by MightyAirforce- can still get some ideas here if your a KJF strategist.

There were a few others but they weren’t as important to me.

I am also making my own “Beginners Strategy” papers like the ones Caspian Sub had- these are really beneficial for starting out.  I still have the printed ones from Revised.

Questioneer
:-D

GI- The point of the case is
The parents want to care for her and the husband wants the feeding tube gone. I wrestled with this case for a long time since I don’t think the Government should be involved in these types of decisions. My opinion changed for all the reasons I listed in my original response.

Incidentally, the Law passed by the Florida legislature and signed by gov. Bush bans the “medical procedure” that would have Killed teri. As
fas I know it doesn’t ban euthanasia. I have a problem with euthanasia since it reminds me of the old “Eugenics” laws here in America as well as those of the Third Reich.
