Actually I’m a Brit and have no idea who she is or what the context is.
Thanks for the insight.

A Socialist reads the Hobbit Part 6 – Goblin Town
Goblin Town mirrors the chaotic Victorian Birmingham of Tolkien's youth—a dark maze where inhabitants love machines and inventive cleverness but create only weapons and torture devices. The bow-legged, squint-eyed goblins resemble rickets-ridden…
In Tolkien's universe elvish swords glow with magic blue light when goblins are nearby.
I can't help thinking it would have been better if they had bluetooth.

Is there evidence that this is a problem? Molecules are very small and there are lots of them - so if your detector is sensitive enough you are going to find what you’re looking for.

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
I don’t have time to post it, but I’m currently on 62%.
