o.k. now, boys and girls, who can name a u.s. president in living

memory
who
was not guilty (and let us not confuse facts with legal niceties)

of a
felony......or a dozen or hundred?


Harry S. Truman and James Carter should both fit into that category.


Harry Truman ordered the use of nuclear weapons against a couple
hundred thousand civilians......but then, I guess it's going to be
hard to convince you that vaporizing large numbers of children is
anything other than a good old fashioned barbecue. As for Mr.
Carter.....well, his case is not quite so clear. We may have to wait
for declassification.

My understanding is that the NSA has about 25 agents working on
declassifying a pile of Carter documents, but the agents keep dying of
boredom, delaying distribution.

Please stop inhaling before you swallow the hook.
While Truman did, indeed, order the use of nuclear weapons, this did not
constitute the felony which was the heart of your original question. You
established the category and I answered accurately and knowing full well
that you would rise to the bait and bring up Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And
just in passing, vaporized children are hardly substantial fare at a
barbeque. By definition they are not present in a coporeal form.

I just love your predictability. Thanks for making my day a bit more
enjoyable. Shall I loan you the short sword?

Nah, not true. Most of them just look, act and smell like they've died.
Pulse detection is on-going.
