It might have saved your brain, but you probably didn't look very COOL wearing a helmet at Smith.

Next time I see George Bush I'm just going to hit him with my purse.

Nice fagbag

When there gets to be enough snow around WA Pass to ski they close it. WA Pass is more of a spring ski spot. Right now you might check out some of the glaciers accessible from Cascade River Road.

That plac is fuckin crazy. One second your in rural Idaho, the next its like your in Bellevue or L.A. Beautiful area though.

Don't you think its a tad ironic that the Christian Right members of our society (not you personally)are the ones actively and zealously mandating the morals and private behavior of other members of our society. But when we don't acquiesce WE'RE THE ONES "driving a wedge" between the two groups and creating friction. Just take your soma, smile, and praise the lord.

as long as you make statements like this, the right will continue to drift right and any hope of you finding an electable candidate left of Churchill will be hopeless. If the Christian right in places like Oklahoma can tell people on the west coast who they can and can't marry then we can make jokes about feeding them to the lions.

Canada's white. Does that mean they voted for Madonna?

Very good point.

They're called lesbians dude.

With freedoms comes responsibility. I feel that we must take responsibility for our actions. If that means having a baby even if it is inconvenient then so be it. Adoption is a route. There isnever a shortage of parent waiting to adopt. Baisically it comes down to convenience. Having a baby is inconvenient but is is the responsibility we must accept for our actions. Overpopulation is the most serious problem facing mankind. Why go out of our way to make this problem worse when there are extremely strong legal and moral arguments for letting the mother decide?

I wouldn't say your wrong. Bush's strongest and staunchest supporters are the religious right. Dem's couldn't (and probably shouldn't) try to attract those guys. What I'm saying is if we give those voters up we need to attract the ones that are just a bit more moderate than them (which Kerry apparantly failed to do). The question that keeps coming up is how to do that without sacrificing the key tenants of the Dem agenda (like freedom to marry, safe / legal abortion, and environmental protection)?

there is no evidence to suggest there has been such a shift, on the contrary since reagan democrats have tried to appeal to the center. And that's why they were so strong in the 90's (along with Gingrich, et al pushing the GOP too far to the right). The center moves. And unfortunately right now its further right than it has been in the past. If the Dems had fielded a candidate that was a bit more conservative than Kerry (not on social issues like gay marriage or abortion, but on political issues like defense, labor, etc.)and was from the south or the inland west I think we might have gotten the 3% of the votes needed to win.

This advice about how a guy should go about asking a lady out is great and all (), but what I want to know is how does a guy go about doing two chicks at once?

Iowa's a swing state and it was close. Ohio and Florida chose Bush. What's your point?

I usually try and avoid political discourse here, but I'll make an exception this time. If the Dem's actually want to beat GW, the GOP, and the Christian Right they should pull their head out of their collective asses and find a candidate who is not an effete east coast liberal. We need someone who can do some damage in the south, lower midwest, and rangeland west. Someone like Kerry has a snowballs chance in hell of winning any of those states and relying on the outside chance of winning the swing states is ignorantly optimistic at best. Dems need counteract the GOP's pull to the right by finding the center and staying there instead of taking the bait and moving to the left, like the GOP wants them to do. When they do, they won't be able to turn the far right but they'll have a much better shot at the swing states and can gnaw away at the south and the inland west. And now the Dems are talking about Hillary Clinton in 08? Did we learn anything at all from the last two presidential elections? Apparantly not.

Sounds like that would be a good system, except that it would be a bitch to carry. Also in some situations its nice to use a single double 60m by itself or fold it in half for simul-climbing. But, for the record, I've never used a 120m rope so this is just speculation.

R & I sucks.

How 'bout some random kitten porn Fern in honor if illwinai, whoever he is.

Whatever. Its still queerer than a three dollar bill.

If you have a friend with a snow machine you could get him to tow you behind it through the pallouse. Then you could pretend your skiing down a big open glacier. Just watch out for the cows.

No that's just N'Synch's new album cover

The real question to ask is when will the moss and dirt freeze.

What really matters is consistent cold temperatures, that's why ice in the PNW is usually ass.
