Next time you try the "who's funding that study?" argument, remember back to what you just said. Did you even read the Wikipedia link? You come across as a grumpy, old, and not-too-bright knee-jerk who's only connection to perceived intellect is his politic. You, sir, are exactly that which you are so fond of calling others here - a moron. Go crawl back into your hole - if your pot belly will allow.

Too bad you don't extend that courtesy universally. But that would spoil all the fun, wouldn't it?

Still wrestling with your legal conscience, eh Matt? BTW; I believe our friend, Trashkent, was addressing a post made by Underworld.

Don't hold your breath, Underworld. Refer to the last Karl Rove thread for evidence this just isn't so. Oh yea ... and that whole first ammendment thing they're always claiming as their own?...Crux says that doesn't apply to network exec's he disagrees with or those talk radio guys he doesn't like. Their speech is dangerous, don't ya know!

Still haven't heard any positive agenda for a Dem-controlled House. Two years of hearings and investigations? Perfect. Either way, Bush remains Crux and Jim's president until 2009 - and with any luck, one more supreme court choice!

Don't Flourecents contain a fair amount of mercury? Will it end up in landfills/water table? Don't they require ballasts that contain PCB'S? Is the energy savings worth the down-side? Is supporting Wal-Mart with your wallet worth saving a few Kilowatts? How much energy goes into producing the bulb and ballast versus incandescents?

Quote: Now wait a minute, who ever accused you of being a climber? That's just not right! That's a pretty ballsy question - considering a quick review of your posts reveal absolutely NO trip reports filed by you - EVER. You're a real champ. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/d...&fromprof=1 Jim, still waiting for an answer.

Yes. It's why I don't voluntarily confess to being a participant in the sport, and it is also the reason I actually like Larry the Tool.

Trash - 39 posts and a mouth that controls his brain. Just what this site needs - yet another leftist to give climbers a bad public image.

I'd think that Jim would care about who his puppet master really is. But I'm just curious to find out if he already knows. How about you old man?

Absolutely BRILLIANT! Just HOW did you know that?

Try to stay on task Rumr. Haven't read it. And, likely, niether have you. So before you open your hole too wide why don't you qualify yourself to review it by picking up a copy - and not just spouting what you've heard from your politically diverse (I'm sure ) group of whacked-out, pot smoking friends - or read in today's Stranger.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Can%27t_Wait http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Communist_Party%2C_USA While you are waiting for Underworld to answer each and every nuance of the question you posed, perhaps you wouldn't mind addressing the above link? Are you a communist? (It's not illegal - so just be honest.) If not, are you aware of your organization's communist underpinnings? Do you care? Enemy of my enemy? Or willing dupe? Is that where you're coming from?

I (surprisingly) agree with what you're trying to say. But this might partially explain. Iraqi attack on USS Stark, 1987. French-made missile. 37(?) dead.

Jim, I have made bold some parts of your post that you may wish to reconsider. They seem to hint strongly at removing our president via extraconstitutional means. Of course, I'm sure this isn't what you really want to convey, but I'm very curious exactly what you plan to do. Just protest? Fine. But if you fancy yourself a revolutionary and think it would be really cool to plot the overthrow - by coup or subterfuge - of a duly elected government, I think you would do well to consider that there are many - like me - who would not stand for it. Do you understand what I'm saying? Play your little game tomorrow and feel good. It's a free country, after all.

Here is Murray's original quote: "And the 8 years prior to that saw Reagan and his VP Bush and some guy named "Rumsfeld" selling WMDs to a guy named Saddam, and around and around it goes..." Murray's quote states that Reagan, Bush Sr, and Rumsfeld "sold WMD's" to Iraq. Clearly they did not. So some american companies may have sold biological materials to Iraq - and virtually every other university/lab/nation on earth. The stuff was probably available in catalogs along with euthanized cats! Lets be real here - selling a bottle of bleach that is subsequently used in some weaponized concoction does not a WMD peddler make.

My solution: Kill them on the battlefield. ...And since we're quoting Orwell: People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. --George Orwell I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt. --George Orwell Liberal: a power worshipper without power. --George Orwell War is evil, but it is often the lesser evil --George Orwell disclaimer: No political ideal can lay claim to Orwell. I'm sure you can come up with more quotables to demonstrate his complexity, but I really think he just liked to come up with ideas expressed just so.

Nice pictures! Did you do the entire circumnavigation? How was the XC from Bird Creek Meadows to Avalanche Valley? Big Muddy crossing? I am jealous. I've wanted to do this trip for a long time.

Are you really serious? That website is the work of a marginally educated 10th grader. I especially like the classification of our 2001/2002 military action in Afghanistan: "to gain control of central asian oilfields" - or some such nonsense. BTW, hasn't Canada played a pretty active role there since day one? Guess all that oil shale isn't panning out for you all, eh? Snort, snort. edit....breaking news! It now appears that in 1950 The United States was guilty of attacking the sovereign nation of Colombia with Food Aid. And the sole reason we went to Korea in 1950 was to "Kill Civilians". Amazing stuff I didn't previously know....really! Go suck a choad you leftist Canadian punk. What a fucking dumbass.

mmmyes, they are nice - aren't they?

E Rock! Dat you?

Thankyou America. http://www.theotheriraq.com/

I'll have to disagree with Matt - just this once. Unless Matt is alluding to the NW Face of NW Ridge - in that case he's spot-on. The Northwest Ridge itself is a choss pile at any time of year. Bowling-Ball sized rocks - some quite loose. I've never been over to Lava Ridge, but I suspect it might be a bit better. Also, the White Salmon Glacier might be a nice choice if you bring some ice gear. Have fun.
