mircea_popescu: i find it very amusing, this tendency of the simpleton to personalise. first, the gods are guys (and some gals), because why the fuck not. then, Nature, has

a service ceiling 10,000 feet below the 777 altutitude
decimation: re: mh17 : I find it hard to believe that someone who has the skills to successfully operate
