The First Image of Earth From Space Was Taken 75 Years Ago. By a Nazi Rocket?

​

It was on October 24, 1946, that the rocket flew to an altitude of about 65 miles (104 km), just above the accepted beginning of outer space, and a 35-millimeter motion picture camera took an image every second and a half. The camera with the missile then came rushing back down, hitting the ground at more than 340 mph (547 km/h) and giving humanity access to the first-ever image of Earth from space.

The Right to be Rude.

Decorum, the new decision concluded, was not a top priority for the cousins John and Samuel Adams when they drafted Article 19 in the Massachusetts Constitution, ratified in 1780. By laying out the right to request “redress of the wrongs done them, and of the grievances they suffer,” the justices noted, they aimed to protect the colonists’ freedom to rail against King George III, disparaged at the time as “the Royal Brute,” in a profane and ungracious manner.

“There was nothing respectful or courteous about the public assemblies of the revolutionary period,” the court wrote in its opinion. “There was also much that was rude and personal, especially when it was directed at the representatives of the king and the king himself.”

I think that said ruling is ignoring human nature, which most of the time responds in kind, and sometimes in an escalated proportion:

Still, some observers caution that unchecked unpleasantness could have unintended consequences: fewer volunteers to take on the often thankless work of running town boards, for example, and fewer opportunities for public comment, which are not required by law.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The trick is knowing which are the patriots, and which are the tyrants.

And what side you're on.

“These are not the normal homeless population..."

There's normal?

Yes.

 

Yes.

1. Ticket illegally parked vehicles
2. Tow after 48 hours.
3. Auction impounded vehicles after 30 days.

Rinse and repeat.

These junk vehicles have no value on the market beyond the metal.
3. Drop them into a scrap grinder to save storage space.

Just let the tow companies take possession after 30 days or so. They'll figure out how to make money with them. Capitalism works.

Yes, it works where there is money to be made because there is value in the process for the tow company. The tow companies won't take them like a normal vehicle as they usually make money off of people paying to get the vehicle back that's not a scrapped, nasty junked car/RV filled with human waste, that almost never happens here with the homeless camp cars because there is a endless supply of stolen or junk vehicles to choose from. The city has to pay for each tow to a city approved impound lot for scrap because there is no way to make money on a intact vehicle from mainly stripped RV's and cars pulled from the road.

 

Capitalism works.

Most of the time...
