You could go on newspapers.com (free for 7 days) and look at those old papers. I know that the Transcontinental Railroad was intensely controversial. What's "bad-faith" about it?

You're right: you said "statistically we never had any luck trying, or by an exhaustive search of all possible perpetual motion machines." as an antithesis. I took "reasoned to be false" as sort of a weak and refuta

There's plenty to find. Ask any dog or cat owner. I think if your 4-year-old aliens were found, many humans would find them charming and fun pen pals (assuming they're not dangerous). It would be useful as the fly by of Pluto, whe

Perhaps if NK wanted to be understood they'd allow tourists to come in and wander around and talk to the happy natives. Just answer us this: is an NK citizen free to emigrate to some other country?
