Now with gas prices down, and people spending less on "disneyland" vacations, lets see if the USFS visitation will increase next summer....like more camping. If not, then those factors are OUT.
Here's my guestimate on why less people are out in the da woods:
more work=less vacation 30%
damaged roads=less recreation 20%
user fees 20%
gas prices 15%
competing entertainment 10%
more family vacations to disneyland/mexico… 5%
Became increasing more and more frustated with the lack of sex. So, I needed an outlet, and climbing hit me in the face like "There's Something about Mary".
so...the native americans ate dinosaur meat?
and I guess the native americans must been real hungry becuase they ate all the dinosaurs before the white man came.
a friend of a friend was there in zimbabwe this past year....
they said a lot of people were just bartering without the use of cash between either hands when they were there this past summer.
Here is one interesting quotes from the latest GM 10Q filing with the sec:
"We are also eliminating discretionary cash bonuses for the executive group in 2008."
My feeling is there is no paradigm shift. I saw too many votes almost 50-50. We probably just saw a lot more moderates voting for the "lesser of two evils" and more poor people feeling a vote for black man will improve their lives--where they would not have voted before becuase they felt their vote meant nothing.
Agreed.
People do not understand owning a nuclear weapon shows others you have the intention to kill innocents and non combatants with the purpose of intimidating a government.
Legally that is called terrorism, and would make the US a state sponsoring in terrorism.
I have also heard of good things about USAA from friends. I just haven't made my decision to change. I have American Family Insurance for auto and home...never had any problems with home, but the car issues (which were my fault) were handled reasonably and the rates keep going down a bit each six months. I had State Farm many many years ago, and they were expensive....and I never had a claim.
