I believe that last link should now show testimony from a respected public authority proving my argument conclusively. Look fast, however. The Man keeps trying to silence this hero.

Note also that I resisted the urge to travel back in time myself and edit the spelling error in my prior post. That’s what separates the Americans from the French: restraint. And time travel.

The French stopped working on time travel when we stopped working on our own SST. Since that time they have only tried to compete with the US on atomic bomb tests.
