Think about that: a defense contractor who has a code of ethics that says it's not right to expose ongoing conspiracies against civil rights.

The helmet they gave me had a tiny little diamond-shaped pad in the crown, the usual crescent-shaped pads under the earholes, and webbing of the kind you'd find in the old Army helmet liners. A suspension helmet, they called it, and with a rubberized steel face mask it was the best durn helmet I ever had (I was an undersized lineman in those days). I expect it would have to fit <i>perfectly</i> to do a proper job, but lucky for me it did. I've had three mild concussions in my time, but none were from organized football.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780425923108876647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-70871456306656113862013-06-11T15:56:17.073-04:002013-06-11T15:56:17.073-04:00Will, I may only be remembering something from a m...Will, I may only be remembering something from a movie but I thought I recall the writings of some founders using the phrase "hung by the neck till dead" indicating they preferred knot in the back rather than to the side.Scott Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-61551522110902186972013-06-11T15:41:50.000-04:002013-06-11T15:41:50.000-04:00This subject brings to mind the question of whethe...This subject brings to mind the question of whether the Founders would have specified a wood chipper in place of hanging, if some sort of version had been available in their time.<br /><br />Which brings to mind the question of which type of hanging were they referring to, the lift, or drop and neck break type.
