"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

SO WHERE DOES THE MOON OF S KOREA RISES FROM - WILL IT BE THE EAST OR WILL IT BE THE WEST - AS POSK MOON THOWS A CURVE BALL TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE 4 AGREED THAAD DUE TO HIS ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN STUDIES - THE PROVERBIAL DELAY TACTICAL ARM USED BY LEFTISTS WORLDWIDE
If one says, "Excuse me," the other wouldn't say, "Thank you," or "You're welcome."
This rhetorical anomaly may best capture the narrative Korea and the United States are having on the allegedly "smuggled" four launchers for the latter's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile interceptor battery.
By all means the two allies do know the proper way of initiating and responding ― "sorry" or "certainly" to "excuse me," and "you ‘re welcome" to "thank you." So the chance is that it is part of their game to go one up on the other.
First, Chung Eui-yong, President Moon Jae-in's top national security aide, went to Washington and met his U.S. counterpart, H.R. McMaster, to consult on the Moon-Trump summit in Washington this month. Upon his return, Chung said that McMaster thanked him for explaining the delay in the THAAD deployment due to an environmental impact survey Moon has now insisted on conditioning it on. Chung also said that Washington expressed its understanding on what Seoul claimed was an "intentional omission" of four THAAD launchers being brought into the nation during the Ministry of National Defense's report to Cheong Wa Dae. Two launchers are already deployed at its Seongju, North Gyeongsang, site, but the four in question are now in storage.

BETTER ADS STANDARDS TO TAKE EFFECT IN 2018 AS GOOGLE CHROME BROWSER TO FILTER OUT ANNOYING ADS CONSIDERED NOT COMPLIANT TO IMPROVE USER INTERNET BROWSING EXPERIENCE
Google is working to block "annoying" ads in its Chrome browser, part
of a broader effort by industry players to filter out certain types of
marketing messages that draw complaints.
"We believe online ads should be better. That's why we joined the Coalition for Better Ads, an industry group dedicated to improving online ads," said Sridhar Ramaswamy, Google's senior vice-president for advertising in a blog post on Thursday (June 1).
"In dialogue with the Coalition and other industry groups, we plan to have Chrome stop showing ads (including those owned or served by Google) on websites that are not compliant with the Better Ads Standards starting in early 2018."
Google's move, in the works for some time, could end up reducing some
ads served and impact its own revenue, but it aims to improve the
overall web experience and discourage third-party ad-blockers that could
have a more dramatic impact.
Ramaswamy noted that "annoying" ads prompt some people to use
ad-blockers that stop all advertising content, hurting revenue for
content creators.
"The vast majority of online content creators fund their work with advertising," Ramaswamy said.
"That means they want the ads that run on their sites to be
compelling, useful and engaging - ones that people actually want to see
and interact with."
But he noted that "it's far too common that people encounter annoying, intrusive ads on the web - like the kind that blare music unexpectedly, or force you to wait 10 seconds before you can see the content on the page."

THE SOFTWARE CREATOR OF ANDROID BEFORE SELLING TO GOOGLE ANDY RUBIN HAS COME BACK WITH A NEW HARDWARE SMARTPHONE CALLED THE INDESTRUCTIBLE UPGRADEABLE NOT TO BE OUTDATED ESSENTIAL
IT sometimes seems like every new smartphone looks a lot like its competitors.
But the inventor of Android software, which powers millions of phones, has unveiled a new gadget that promises something a bit unique.
At first glance, the Essential phone just looks like every phone released since Apple’s iPhone set the template. However the ambitious and secretive phone is designed to be “modular”, meaning owners can add new bits of hardware to change its function.
The handset is almost all screen, pushing the display right to the top edge of the phone even enveloping the front-facing camera.
Unlike competitor aluminium devices, the Essential phone is made with a combination of titanium and ceramic which should make it super durable. “That’s why you won’t find an area for phone cases on our site,” the company, also named Essential, said.

THE WEEKEND HATE MONGERERS OF TERROR OF LONDON BRIDGE FROM THE SO CALLED RELIGION OF PEACE (ISLAM) HAS STRUCK ONCE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE COMMONERS FOUGHT BACK WITH WHAT THEY HAD TO OFFER AS A VAN FULL OF THREE OF THE WRETCHED ASSAILANTS AFTER RUNNING DOWN THE INNOCENT CAME OUT WHEELING HATCHETS TO DO MORE KILLING FOR ALLAH 'OI OI COWARDS'
Londoners fought back with whatever came to hand, including hurling chairs and tables, when three men armed with a van and knives went on the attack in a bustling area of the British capital on Saturday night.
The attack, in which the assailants killed at least seven people and injured almost 50 before they were shot dead by police, began with a van being driven at high speed into a crowd of pedestrians on London Bridge.
"It was horrendous."
The knife-wielding assailants then took their attack to nearby Borough Market, where survivors described a hellish scene in an area packed with people enjoying a night out in bars and restaurants.
Gerard Vowles told Sky TV that he was on the street near the Southwark Tavern pub, the scene of multiple stabbings, when he heard someone say: "I've been stabbed, I've been stabbed."
"I thought they were joking," he said.
He said he then saw a woman and man being stabbed while the attackers shouted: "This is for Allah", and recalled how he tried to distract the men.
"As they left I was going "Oi, oi, cowards!" Vowles said. "I was just trying to get their attention by throwing things at them ... I thought if I throw bottles or chairs they can come after me. If I can get them to come to the main road then the police can stop them, they can obviously shoot them."
