    Actually it was 65 years ago yesterday.

    August 6, 1945, Hiroshima time. A.k.a. August 5, U.S. time.

    When you started this thread, it was already August 7 in Hiroshima.

It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com
