3 Thought for the Day:

"Madmen, like small children, can often not be controlled by threats."
-- Thomas C. Schelling, The Strategy of Conflict

Sometimes you have to go kinetic to get your point across.
It may be expensive now, but maybe next time they will believe you.

As for the B-52s, it tickles me that this airplane, designed by Boeing in the 1950s, is still flying. Every design is a compromise. Sometimes you get it all right and it just works, now and forever more, amen. For other examples of sweet design, see shotguns and sharks.
