  1. No, if it sits, she gets contopated, the colon removes moisture from whatever sits in it. What she probably did was eat a hell'uva lot of bread the day before. I spent about 2 mins thinking about that....way too much time.

  3. You are one. Keep in mind though, there are people in power against the partiot act that wont fight it, because it would make the party look devided. I am referring partly to the patriot act, but not as much for the spying on americans bit. It's wrong, but personaly I have nothing to hide. What bugs me more is the fact that you no longer have the right to a fair and speedy trial. If you are accused of terrorist activities, they can arrest you and hold you without trial for as long as they want. Furthermore, if bush gets his way, they can torture you. So, say the wrong thing on the phone, or hell, suppose you're a wrong number dialed by Osama Bin Laden. Next thing you know, you're locked up in Git'mo getting you fingers broken off. But there are supporters of this. People that will follow the republican party and its leader to the end. Hell, there are people who strongly disagree with this, but wont go against the administration because of Regans 11th commandment. So, we look at what people are raising a stink over: -Dont touch my guns -dont touch my porn'n'strippers -dont doch my smokes Yet they'll let go the fundemental rights that make America the land of the free. You'll find most people fight harder for they're petty indulgences then they will for actual freedoms. Back to last weeks discussion; they'd rather be entertained then interested.
  4. They're doing that anyway But they're employing mexicans and chinese, not Americans. They're being driven in Benz's an Rols. It's a decent theory, but as has been proven in the past, Supply-side reganomics doens't work. The rich didn't get rich by spending foolishly, they dont spend more when they can spend less. And this administration is certainly NOT spending its money on defence. It's sending our troops out into the world to fight an enemy that cannot be killed. For everyone we kill, 2 more will take his place. It's a war to make it look like we're doing something,a ndour troops are paying the price. Bush has done more fo Al'quaida recruitment then Bin Laden ever could have hoped to do himself.
  5. It's funy the rights that people will bitch and fight to save, and the fundemental freedoms they'll give up because some asshole says it's neccesary.
  6. Alot of people are. This is just one example that recently caught my attention. Think of it like this: Would you be happy living in an place with no electricity, no cable, and no water, just so you wouldn't have to pay those bills? Our taxes, our parents taxes, or grandparents taxes, etc etc went into those lands to reserve them for our enjoyment. Now they're being taken from us and put on the open market. What do we get for it? Nothing at all. We pay about 45 cents a year less in taxes, and have to look at a stip mall or shitty housing development where our parks used to be. Is that what you and your fellow soldiers are fighting for, the right to make it easy for those with lots of money to make more at our expence?

  8. They make up by cutting funding for inumerable programs, including those that the administration brags about, like medicare and no-child-left-behind. The available dollars are there because they've "timmed the fat". Luetic, I'm not familiar with the Laffer Curve, and I'd be very interested in a more in-depth explaination. Those graphs realy don't tell us how it works. It does, however, point out a steady, heavy increase in the years following the cuts. As it sits, without any real explaination, this sentence makes absolutely no sence: Plus, read the heading of the Graph. That says nothing about what has come in, only what was spent. Furthermore, its only for 2 months of the fiscal year, last I checked there were still 12.

  10. If they're nothing more then fantasies, how could they also be twisted and sick? Pow, Logic. BTW Jess, the Appalacian outfitters crowd is totaly you're kinda group of people...and we never had to do anything before 8am. Sign up for next year.
  11. Ben if that were true, I complain about how much better Al Franken was...but I never listened to his show.
  12. Direct drive, too. Benz was the first in alot of things, who knows who took the first road trip?
  13. Because wasting money to look like a dumbass is the American way.
  14. On a side note, did you know that if an oil company finds oil under your back yard, all they must do is file some paperwork and they can take that land for their own drilling purposes? They dont have to pay for mining rights, they dont have to pay for any damage they do. You just get a letter and a small check for assumed market value for the parcel, and before you can file an appeal, there's a derek where your barn used to be, and a nasty stink in the air, 24/7.
  15. The Bush administration is still clinging to the hope that they will be able to keep taxes down, while the cost of running the country and the war skyrockets. Some day we will be forced to wake up and realize that we need tax revenue to survive as a nation. W is counting on the realization coming after he leaves office. They keep cutting and cutting, but we're still in the hole and plumeting further. When the shit hits the fan, we'll see a spike in taxes that will make us wish we'd just spent 5% more over the last 8 years. Worse still, when we hit this fiscal pothole, there will be no more federal programs left to help anyone. We've already seen the Dept of the interior propose and pass huge hikes in park admittance fees. Where once they were almost free, some have jumped to $80. Here is only one example of what is being done by the Forest Service and BLM just to get by, and even they have to give a sizable cut to the fed: Before you tout those benifits, look at how much land was hocked, and how little they got for it. Then compare the small amount that made its way back to the local comunities. Also consider who will be buying these lands. Soem enviro groups may cherry pick a few choice bits for preservation, but beond that it's going to go to developers, people with lots of money that will just be making a shitpot more off these lands. In fact, there's a huge amount of lobbying in the vegas area for this. The fiscal irresponcebility of this administration is staggering. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country, pay your fucking taxes. Point, we shouldn't be at this point, none of these cuts should be neccesary. This land is your land, this land is my land. It's ours, and it shouldn't be put upp for sale because some one wants the fed to go bankrupt just after he leaves office.
  16. There's a Testerossa in Powel for 45k, if you've got the money to blow and just want an image car.
  17. You guys are more likely to loose your nuts to eachothers mouths while watching Brokeback Mountain.

    You mean conduit wont work? Try Mcmaster Carr.
  19. Then you should definately climb some ice. Crampons and axes grip ice better then my feet and hands grip rock. Hopefully the pictures all come out, I've got one of a buddy doing The Captain off one of the pitches.
  20. Day one was self arrest, snow school, and intro-to-moutnaineering tools. Day two was a stab at Mt washingtons summit,pics as soon as I get'm. Day 3, we were ice climbing, and i managed to get myself up this, twice. http://www.neclimbs.com/currentContent/iceReport/ice_images/dracula.jpg

  22. No its not, and no I dont. If I were leaning all the way left I'd be cracking idiot jokes like "It's part of the budget cuts, they have to do more of their own killing" or "He's hoping there will be no more lawyers left to prosecute his party". "You dont shoot at eye level" is not retarded, its firearm safety. You kick up the birds and shoot them in the air. Its not possible to hit one before it gets 6ft off the ground anyways, unless you've got super ninja reflexes, which I garauntee you Dick does not. You dont discharge your firearm at a level in which it will hit some one, or your dogs. It was an accident, but drunk or not, one that could have easily been avoided. It's your boy so you defend him, but were it anyone else you'd be saying the same thing, "What a fuckin dumbass".
