How do helicopters work? Do they have a small rocket motor on each side of a rotor blade, so it gets lit, and rockets go off and carry it up? I have something vaguely similar to that, it's a Black Cat Surface to Air Missile, its a little pot thing that has two rockets pointing opposite ways on a cylinder, they go off, it spins around incredibly fast, and then a huge rocket pointing down lights off, and the thing just shoots up into the air. These are bad for shooting in roads in a neighbourhood, because once it goes maybe 100 feet into the air, it doesn't explode, and a big cardboard thing comes falling back down. This is what we hit the neighbour's roof with. Then, like 4 of my friends were sitting real close to a fireworks that shoots a whole ton of mini-bottle rockets up in the air [it has 100 shots; each is about the size and shape of a crayon] where they discovered the thing behaves like a shrapnel bomb in the air, raining down tiny pieces of fireworks for a 20-yard radius or so.
Good times.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
