Nobel winner liked to 'blow things up'

Yeah, I saw that too and had the same thought. Nowadays he'd be treated like a terrorist or Columbine killer.

Yea in my high school you'd get in trouble just talking about anything that burns let alone doing any kind of experiments.

So did the guy who created the Nobel prize...

Lookee what " snipped-for-privacy@aol.com" said!

I remember buying some Estes motors from our local Wal-Mart. The cashier was horrified when he saw them. "Oh, God, what if those kids at Columbine got something like this!"

And the worst part of it is, this waste of oxygen gets to vote.

your right on Bob !

like he invented dynamite and nitro and nitrocelluloss power and most things of war in the late 1800s ?

(yet)!

Remember, half the voters have below average IQ. Which explains a LOT!

Next time you go to wal-mart to buy motors get some 12ga shotgun shells, some 300 win mag and 45ACP (preferably hollowpoints) Then watch the cashier go "OH MY GOD!!!"

Sad.

super-PC climate, what would have happened to this guy?

terrorist or Columbine killer.

I recall what I considered then, and even more so now, a compliment I was given in my youth. That was the opinion of a friend after seeing some of the things I was into in those days: "Wow! The SDS could really use you!"

You could have replied that maybe they would have had something useful to do, instead of stealing Daddys' guns... :-)
