Political Correctness is really Political Censorship

A tax code should exist to procure the funds necessary for the operation of government, not to manipulate human or business behavior.

They are indeed pretty....

But there were times living in upstate NY (Niagara Falls) and being stationed in MI, that I just didn't have the time to appreciate them, I was too busy shoveling...now I have a snow blower, 'cause the boys have moved out  :D

Neat stuff! Watching sugars crystallise out of solution with the false color of a differential interference contrast micoscope at 500x magnification is absolutely incredible... hard not to lose hours just gazing at them... films behave most interestingly too...

Coulda been a crystallographer easy... best one I know is pretty nuts though...
