Did You Know That... In 1961, The U.S. Air Force Nearly Nuked North Carolina?

I'm sure you've heard that catchy little ditty:

(Sung to the tune of "Barbara Ann")

"Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb... ‪NorthCarolina‬"?!

Yes, it's True!

In 1961, the U.S. Air Force - accidentally - almost nuked North Carolina!

WTH?

The REAL Nuclear Threats To The World Are Russia and US.

Here's the link to the enlightening Guardian U.K. article (Enjoy!):

NC’s Anti-Gay House Majority Leader: Gay People Are ‘Things’ Whose Relationships Can Be ‘Treated Differently’

NC’s Anti-Gay House Majority Leader: Gay People Are ‘Things’ Whose Relationships Can Be ‘Treated Differently’:
North Carolina House Majority Leader Paul Stam (R) and Minority Whip Rick Glazier (D) debated the proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage in North Carolina at the UNC law school this afternoon. Towards the end of the event, Stam — who supports the measure — suggested that allowing gay and lesbian people to marry would open the door to polygamy and challenged Glazier to respond to his “slippery slope” argument.

“Different things can be treated differently if the things or people are in a very different relationship,” Stam said.[...]

"Things"?... Mr. Stam - you infinitely small, little man with the microscopic, little mind - think that gay people are "...things"?

Ugh! People like Mr. Stam are no more than present-day incarnations of the same, old, tired & dead bigots of previous generations (whom we look back at in disgust and horror) who even now do nothing more than sputter the same, old, tired, dead (and patently false) arguments against True Equality for All Men and Women/Enlightened Change.

Silly me... I believed my teachers when they said that all those reptilian dinosaurs with the teeny-tiny brains had died off millions of years ago. Apparently... a few have survived... hopefully for only a very brief period.

The person or persons who set a heavy cinder-block on this sweet dog's head...
... and then set the poor, chained and somewhat abandoned being on fire.

Police in North Carolina are searching for the perpetrator of this despicable daylight deed but, sadly, as of yet haven't much to go on.

I, for one, am hoping that at least one witness (or more) comes forward... Preferably with video evidence.

And for this incarnation of  "Man's Best Friend" to fully recover.
