Found this today when I wondering if US troops would fire upon US citizens if ordered, even if they disagreed with the order.

I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

puttin milford, ks on the map. the map of cutting edge medical science

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Brinkley


Quote
John Romulus Brinkley (later John Richard Brinkley; July 8, 1885 – May 26, 1942) was a controversial American medical doctor who experimented with xenotransplantation of goat glands into humans as a means of curing male impotence in clinics across several states, and an advertising and radio pioneer who began the era of Mexican border blaster radio.


Goddamn if that isn't a hell of an introductory sentence. Absolutely fascinating article btw, read every word of it. One of the better parts (of many) was this:

Quote
...The Mexican government allowed Brinkley to up his wattage to 150,000 watts. Several months later, Brinkley was allowed to increase to one million watts, "making XER far and away the most powerful radio station on the planet" that, on a clear night, could be heard as far away as Canada. According to accounts of the time, the signal was so strong that it turned on car headlights, made bedsprings hum, and caused broadcasts to bleed into telephone conversations.[26] Local residents didn't even need a radio to hear Brinkley's station; ranchers reported that they received it through their metal fences and in their dental appliances.

Read a decent book on this: Charlatan

Quote
The commander of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team, Lt. Jack B. ReVelle, said of the bomb, "How close was it to exploding? My opinion is damn close. You might now have a very large Bay of North Carolina if that thing had gone off." He also said the size of each bomb was 3.8 megatons, more than 250 times the destructive power of the Hiroshima bomb, and large enough to have a 100% kill zone of seventeen miles. Each bomb would exceed the yield of all munitions (outside of testing) ever detonated in the history of the world by TNT, gunpowder, conventional bombs, and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts combined.[12]

Not wiki but still super interesting.   This schizophrenic dude had all sorts of NSA/FBI/CIA delusions and taped dozens of youtube videos documenting his findings.   Feel bad for that crazy SOB.
