    “THINK WITH YOUR HEAD
    NOT WITH YOUR SKIN

    That needs to be spread far and wide
    bumper sticker campaign perhaps?

      Coffee cup? Shirt?
      But what to use for an image…
      It doesn’t matter, no matter how I frame it, I’ll be called a racist.
      I’ll do it! Oh, HAIL, yes!
      As soon as I get this whole printed-mug thing figured out.

        No graphic, just text
        Or a picture of Clarence Thomas
        Or Walter Williams

      How about THIS for the verbiage (slight edit) on a bumper sticker:
      THINK WITH YOUR HEAD
      NOT YOUR SKIN COLOR
      with a head shot of AJ Thomas?

    ..now this is just me…. BUT… EMP gun..
    since the craft are from Terra (Earth),, an they used nukes, in the fall, all the the Terran craft will be EMP shielded (hardened.)
    and the drives are different tech.. in my opinion,, because of the GOLD paint, (in real life) makes a really good faraday cage..
    all that will happen is a pretty light show on Miral’s craft,. (think Northern lights or St. Elmo’s fire.)
    the other craft ,, no effect or some intermittent outages while the EMP is in effect. (IE: the radio cuts out..)

      Could have an issue with grounding… A lot of helicopters, especially in storms and dust storms, build up a great deal of static electricity, and need to have that safely discharged before landing… A good Farad cage, while good in the air, could cause arcing issues when landing…

        no… an yes… i worked (AMS) heilos in the military… just about all aircraft are a faraday cage… the charge is dispersed when landing,,, but when hovering ,, then they need a grounding wand.. before transferring cargo.
        they/we ground the A/C before fueling to make sure no charge is present…
        because of the faraday cage design , the charge (lightning / EMP.) will flow around A/C an back into the air,, ( hence ALL Terran craft are EMP shielded..) an because the Gold in Miral’s A/C will make a better shield,, an cause the light effect as the charge passes her craft…

    These the same Hawaiians who were killing and eating all non-Polynesians? I’d forgotten that detail. Just like I forgot that Petercat had said he was translating the human’s speech into American English. So, my comment a while back was off-base. The captain may not have said cookie OR biscuit, for all we know, they may have yet another word for them.

    And we meet some of the die-hards. Not in Hirō “Hiroo” Onoda’s or Teruo Nakamura’s class yet, and may not get there. Cat and mouse indeed.

        Thank-you a case of CRS in my case.

    I would have chosen this as traveling music

      I’ll have to remember that one for later, thanks.
      I should have gone with Radar Love.

        Yeah, I think that’s better than my choice…

      I’d more think “Horse With No Name” by America would be appropriate..

    Just now, after re-read number 6 (7?), realized that the son referenced here,
    is the Gilbert of page 520 as well as the drunk that Belle clocked with the
    bottle.
