It looks good full screen and even with my modest connection was stutter free.

Re: Rise of the drones
Thats some interesting stuff. They say the drones cruise 4-5 miles high.
Funny how Obama can sanction killing with these drones but considers waterboarding cruel.
Just a matter of time before our nice government uses them here, right on us.-----------------6

They are already using them "on us", they just haven't got around to the killing part yet.
Just a matter of time, IMO.
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Funny thing..........when I was a kid (still am...in heart
) in school, back around 1968, we had to read this book called "1984". Most of the book is already here, with the worse on the way. Glad I was born when I was.----------61st. Gen. Colt SAA’s, 1878 D.A.45 and a 38-55 Marlin TD

It saw it on PBS. Well worth the time to watch. It will scare the stuff out of you if you think two steps ahead and connect a few dots.
