    I hit one once late at night.

    At least that's what I was telling myself what is was as I was burying deep in the woods.

    The most ridiculously pathetic "conspiracy" of my lifetime. It's scary to think how many people lacked the basic reasoning powers to ignore such drivel.

    If you remove the words "as a black person" from that sentence, then you have a provable conspiracy. Today's young Americans are anything but free.

    Sorry, you're not "in" unless you actually contribute something. Try again next time.

    Not sure about high tech but you sell things for a living, if you sold weapons who would be the first person you would make a house call to?

    As a Realtor I do facilitate the purchase and/or sale of properties. I represent the buyer more often than the seller, and sometimes I represent both the buyer and the seller.

    Maybe you can rephrase this so I can better answer it. "Weapon" can mean anything from Nukes, dirty bombs, guns, rocks, sharp paper edges, or a rapier wit.

    But the obvious answer in any case is you sell your product to those who want your product. Anything else would be unethical.

    Tuesday marked 50 years since Cassius Clay, later known as Muhammad Ali, "shocked the world" and beat Sonny Liston — one of the greatest fighters to ever step in the boxing ring. The fight catapulted the young Clay to the top of the boxing world, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation thought the win might have involved something more seedy beyond the box score.

    Clay and Liston sparred six rounds at the Miami Convention Center, and Liston's decision to quit before the seventh raised red flags for the FBI, which at the time suspected the fight had been fixed by a Las Vegas gambler, according to the Washington Times.

    Through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Times obtained memos (some addressed directly to the FBI's then-director, J. Edgar Hoover) showing the bureau's investigation into Ash Resnick and Barnett Magids — two gamblers who seemed to have insider knowledge before the upset.

    Resnick, who had connections to Liston and organized crime, first advised Magids that Liston would knock out Clay in the second round. Then on the day of the fight, documents show Resnick told Magids not to make any bets on the fight but to "just go watch the fight on pay TV and he would know why and that he could not talk further at that time."
    More on Muhammad Ali

    Fifty years ago, Clay stopped Liston
    Muhammad Ali changed the face of athletes

    "Magids did go see the fight on TV and immediately realized that Resnick knew that Liston was going to lose," a document stated. "A week later, there was an article in Sports Illustrated writing up Resnick as a big loser because of his backing of Liston. Later people 'in the know' in Las Vegas told Magids that Resnick and Liston both reportedly made over $1 million betting against Liston on the fight and that the magazine article was a cover for this."

    It's not confirmed that Liston took a dive, but it was enough for the FBI to continue to assert the suspicion internally that Resnick had fixed the fight.

    No evidence was found to show that Clay was in on the scheme or even knew about it, and no evidence ever fully corroborated the bureau's suspicions.

    Coincidence you used a wrestling video. The Portland ESPN board didn't have guys talking about killing you, but a couple of ESPN boards did. Chicago had this guy stationed in Hawaii who wanted to take Space Available to meet people at any airport to fight. He said he was a pro wrestler after work hours, so I looked him up and linked to the buffoon's online publicity pictures. That surprised the killer dick. Later he was transferred to Japan. The Utah board had a bunch of office workers in Seattle ridiculing anyone antiwar (the Sonic board was too liberal for them).
