35. It looks to me like the media and some in the military both like to hide things that undermine their missions.

I'll put that on the long list of things that must be undone as soon as possible.

Started this list in the late 60's and have checked off very few items even as several of those have had to be relisted. It's like history is a one-off original until it's forgotten or reinterpreted. Then it sneaks out to repeat itself. That's where the generational value and reality of death makes itself unobviously, perhaps even perversely, useful. Propelling the species onward through the ages in clouds of star dust and mold.
