I See You.

Why the hell I would endanger my family just so you greedy self-centered bastards can zip around the streets in your gas guzzlers and complain about how hard your life is because you have a 45-minute commute and are too damn stupid to live closer to work is beyond me.






15 days, 67 months, after 4/14/1977. That seems to form a 1 May 1967, or 5/1/1967. I recognize the date 5/1/1967 as when I first flew a fighter jet by myself, at the age of 8.16 years, which would have certainly been a record. I recognize the date 4/14/1977 as when I returned to Earth after successfully diverting the comet, which would also have been a record. I noted that the first prototype of the F-16 Falcon fighter jet was #72-1567.

From 4/14/1977 to 11/29/1982 is: 15 days, 67 months

4 (album)

4, also known as Foreigner 4, is the fourth album by American rock band Foreigner, released in 1981. Several singles from the album were successful, including "Urgent", "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "Jukebox Hero".

The album marked the completion of the band's shift to hard rock, begun in Head Games. Half of the original lineup - Ian McDonald, Al Greenwood, and Ed Gagliardi - had left before the recording of 4. As a result, all of the songs on the album are compositions by Mick Jones and/or Lou Gramm. McDonald and Greenwood had played saxophone and keyboards, respectively, and so several session musicians were needed to replace their contributions, among them Junior Walker, whose sax solo in the bridge of "Urgent" is a high point of the album, and a young Thomas Dolby, who would later have a successful solo career.

Agent provocateur

An agent provocateur (plural: agents provocateurs, French language, "inciting agent") is a person who secretly disrupts a group's activities from within the group. Agents provocateurs typically represent the interests of another group, or are agents directly assigned to provoke unrest, violence, debate, or argument by or within a group while acting as a member of the group.

An agent provocateur is often a police officer that encourages suspects to carry out a crime under conditions where evidence can be obtained; or who suggests the commission of a crime to another, in hopes they will go along with the suggestion, so they may be convicted of the crime. These are sometimes called sting operations.

One common use of Agents provocateurs is to investigate consensual or "victimless" crimes; since each participant in such crimes are willing participants, it is often difficult for the authorities to discover such crimes without the use of undercover agents.

Agents provocateurs are also used against political opponents. Here, it has been documented that provocateurs deliberately carry out or seek to incite counter-productive and/or ineffective acts, in order to foster public disdain for the group and provide a pretext for aggression; and to worsen the punishments its members are liable for (see Red-baiting). Terrorists sometimes act as agents provocateurs when they seek to provoke government repression that they hope will alienate their potential constituency from the government in question, and thus increase support for themselves (as the opponents of the government in question). In this sense, provocation may be combined with endorsement terrorism.

Historically, Agents provocateurs activities have been one operational tactic of labor spies who may also be hired to infiltrate, monitor, disrupt, and/or subvert union activities.

Within the United States the COINTELPRO program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation had FBI agents posing as political radicals in order to disrupt the activities of radical political groups in the U.S., such as the Black Panthers, Ku Klux Klan, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. The activities of agents provocateurs against dissidents in Imperial Russia was one of the grievances that led to the Russian Revolution of 1917. Yevno Azef is an example of agent provocateur.
