to orb's riddle is it a memory?

Depends on what side your on Jay-qu. I think America's entry into the second world war was a noble act considering the threat that Nazi Germany posed to world peace. And defeating the Fascist Nazi was, in my opinion, a noble act of War

That is a fair point, but I would still not call the killing humans (no matter how sharp their resolve is, no matter how evil and even if they are brainwashed) an un-nobel act.

I think you meant to say, "I would still not call the killing of humans a noble act instead of un-noble act. Suppose in the defense of another, one is forced to take the life of an aggressor? I can think of several cases where such an act would, in my opinion, be a noble act. In any event............next riddle:

How is it that a person born in Massachusetts, whose parents were both born in Massachusetts, is not born a U.S. citizen?

Ok I will give you that one wise Infy!

To take a stab at your riddle - is there a different Massachusetts not within the U.S?

Actually Jay-qu, that is very close to the right answer so I,ll relent and give it away: If he was born before 1783, then Massachusetts would still have been a British colony. Therefore he would not have been born a U.S. citizen................Infy

The riddle is a house...

The passive-solar house is positioned to absorb winter sunlight, warming the interior walkways and walls of the residence. Geothermal heat pumps circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet (100 m) deep in the ground. A 40,000 US gallon (151 m³) underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof urns; wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers cascades into underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is then used to irrigate the landscaping around the four-bedroom home.

Who's home am I?
