"If it is good enough for them, it is good enough for everyone."
...key word there "everyone."
The exact phrase I was thinking we would most likely hear when it comes to the vaccine being administered to front line workers. However, as far as I understand, front line workers will be required to take the vaccine. I have friends that are working in hospitals and such...and they tell me that they must take vaccines in order to be allowed to work.
So that phrase is misleading...making it sound like front line workers are lining up volunteering for it. It is more like, if you want to keep your job, you are going to take this vaccine.
I just heard those exact words from a guy being interviewed on Fox news.

ANGKOR WAT TEMPLE.
This temple was built in North Cambodia in the 12th century. One thing that stands out on the decorative panels is a design of what appears to be a prehistoric animal. A stegosaurus. How could people of that time have known about such a creature? It is not until 200 years ago that any such animals could be identified.

5% compared to 94%....
.... When we see such a distribution of percentages, many find such to be intriguing. Does it represent striking new information, prompting the search for valid scientific ways to explore a new hypothesis, on some possible connection in life? Or is it merely the result of tree top confounding and other bias in gathering of data? Well---
This is the exit poll breakdown of US voters. the lower value is for Republicans voting for Mr. Trump, the higher, for dem Dems. In no other USA sociopolitical defined area is the difference anywhere near these extremes. VERY extreme.
For example, alt leftie Californicate, and Vermental -vermont, each hover around 30 to 60 %, respectively.
Who would be surprised that this finding is for Washington, DC?
The use of the descriptive term "SWAMP", indeed fits. The seat of over-administered, bureaucratic government corruption, height of inefficiencies, benefits in employment long gone for real workers in the dreaded private sector (pay, pensions, benefits), and rank nepotism, ---well, don't these folks have much to loose? From an rank upstart outsider, no less.
Mr. Trump is an existential threat to people of their ilk, and to their MSN pundits and wanker wonks. So the expressions of hate really are more signs of fear, than anything else.
Don't just take my words for it. See it everywhere.

Alien life probably exists.....in our own solar system !
Now, don't get too excited. It's probably microbiological life, not the gigantic monsterous beings popularized by sci-fi movies & books. Nonetheless, still, an interesting prediction, based on mathematical modeling of the cause of the formation of methane plumes, found on one of Saturn's relatively tiny moons, one that has a diameter of only about 314 miles. Yet, has lots of water and methane, as well as an atmosphere.

Methane in plume of Saturn's moon Enceladus could be sign of alien life, study suggests
But there are other possible explanations as well.
By Mike Wall 1 day ago
The methane wafting from Enceladus may be a sign that life teems in the Saturn moon's subsurface sea, a new study reports.
In 2005, NASA's Cassini Saturn orbiter discovered geysers blasting particles of water ice into space from "tiger stripe" fractures near Enceladus' south pole. That material, which forms a plume that feeds Saturn's E ring (the planet's second-outermost ring), is thought to come from a huge ocean of liquid water that sloshes beneath the moon's icy shell.
And there's more than just water ice in the plume. During numerous close flybys of the 313-mile-wide (504 kilometers) Enceladus, Cassini spotted many other compounds as well — for example, dihydrogen (H2) and a variety of carbon-containing organic compounds, including methane (CH4).
The dihydrogen and methane are particularly intriguing to astrobiologists. The H2 is likely being produced by the interaction of rock and hot water on Enceladus' seafloor, scientists have said, suggesting that the moon has deep-sea hydrothermal vents — the same type of environment that may have been life's cradle here on Earth.
In addition, H2 provides energy for some Earth microbes that produce methane from carbon dioxide, in a process called methanogenesis. Something similar could be happening on Enceladus, especially given that Cassini also spotted carbon dioxide, and a surprising bounty of methane, in the moon's plume.
"We wanted to know: Could Earth-like microbes that 'eat' the dihydrogen and produce methane explain the surprisingly large amount of methane detected by Cassini?" study co-lead author Régis Ferrière, an associate professor in the University of Arizona's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, said in a statement.
So Ferrière and his colleagues built a series of mathematical models that assessed the probability that Enceladus' methane was generated biologically. These simulations were diverse; the team investigated whether the observed H2 production could sustain a population of Enceladus microbes, for example, and how that population would affect the rate at which H2 and methane escaped into the plume, among other things.
"In summary, not only could we evaluate whether Cassini's observations are compatible with an environment habitable for life, but we could also make quantitative predictions about observations to be expected, should methanogenesis actually occur at Enceladus' seafloor," Ferrière said.
That evaluation should cheer those of us who hope that something swims in the frigid, dark Enceladus sea. The team determined that abiotic (without the aid of life) hydrothermal-vent chemistry as we know it on Earth does not explain the methane concentrations observed by Cassini very well. Adding the contributions of methanogenic microbes, however, fills the gap nicely.

Al Bielek - The Philadelphia Experiment Detailed… Invisibility, Time Travel and Remote Viewing. A U.S. Navy Ship vanishes during a secret experiment gone awry. When it re-appears, observers are horrified to see crew members embedded in the deck and steel of the ship. During a sea trial, the ship vanishes and travels through time setting off a number of events that continue today.
Al Bielek ( 1927 – 2011) , Duncan Cameron and Preston Nichols are three men with intimate knowledge of the strange and incredible events that took place and may very well be STILL taking place now. Learn how technology they helped develop and test is being used to change the future. The military CAN send ships, planes AND people through hyperspace and make them completely invisible.

Cos...
More than 20 years ago I used to frequent a chat room with women from Philippines. They habitually used the word 'cos' and I believe it's their abbreviated version of cause or because. This morning, I saw bcos used so that leads to: is there a difference in cos and bcos?
I realize that many Asian, Malaysians and people in the Pacific region learn English as a 2nd or 3rd language and adopt phrases and abbreviations.
To me, cos is the mathematical abbreviation of cosine.
