Monthly Topic: Guns vs. Butter‏

[sophia_sadek]

The topic of austerity and stimulus got me thinking back to my high school social studies lessons. One of the things we learned about was the economic trade-off between "guns and butter."

The American campaign to prevent communists from educating girls in Afghanistan

You've made me curious. Got more info on this?

My father worked on the Manhattan Project

He was part of a secret organization too?

And how do you think, why might I be doing that?

With the exception of its address, email, telephone, and the name of its chairperson, everything else is within the public domain, yep.

[sophia_sadek]

Postal and email addresses, telephone numbers are all private attributes. As for a chairperson, no such office exists.

Those of a presumed organization that's supposedly in the public domain, aren't.

People who need to get in touch with us know where and how to find us.

[luvdovz]

No they don't. I know it from personal experience.

Choosing me to tell this non-fact to, wasn't the wisest choice, IMO.

But let's not stray too much off topic.

[sophia_sadek]

Are you saying that you needed to get in touch with us, but were not able to do so?

[luvdovz]

[sophia_sadek]

Given the information I have made available, any enterprising journalist could easily find another source on her own. It is not my responsibility to convince you that we exist.

[luvdovz]

Making others do your homework. Not the best way of recruiting, is it?
