   I’m a pro writer, too. I use the words nearly interchangeably in the sense Adams uses. The distinction is without a difference. Or not much of one. Depends on the rhythm of the sentence as to which.

   I had a cat who could reach the doorknob but was eternally frustrated that she could not turn it.

   It’s the ‘financial interest’ part that is both liefull and stupid. It might be more accurate to say, “the US government had a financial interest” but that wouldn’t be quite right,either. Neither Fauci nor the US government owned any part of that lab. The lab was paid, by the US government, over a period of years, an amount of money to undertake certain research. That money was bounded about by a great many caveats as to its use. It may be that the lab’s management paid no attention to those caveats. The US government no longer pays money to that lab: reuters. com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-suspends-federal-funding-wuhan-lab-over-non-compliance-2023-07-19/

   Not so. The Viet Nam war was begun by Truman when he allowed France to reclaim Viet Nam after our guy Ho Chi Minh helped us defeat Japan and then asked Truman to help Viet Nam become an independent member of the French Commonwealth. It was extended by Eisenhower, with ‘observers’ and cemented in place by Kennedy with ‘advisors’. Johnson merely followed the leader. All were given very, very bad advice by Dean Acheson and others.

   A negative cannot be proven. Therefore, to demonstrate that he doesn’t exist, he must exist.

    Back in the day, du Pont built its gunpowder mills on the banks of the Brandywine, and killed quite a few people: “Between 1802 and 1921 there were 288 explosions leading to the deaths of 228 people. The three most deadly and remembered explosions occurred in 1818, 1890 and 1915. … the 1915 explosion killed 30 people. Another explosion in 1857 fatally injured five employees, including company partner Alexis Irénée du Pont. …The mill buildings used in the manufacture of gunpowder were built with strong stone-walled structures on three sides but were only covered by light wood structures on the fourth side, which faced out onto the Brandywine Creek. When an accident occurred, the explosion was directed away from the other mills and storage areas and over the creek.” from Wikipedia, “Eleutherian Mills” (named for one of the early du Pont brothers)
