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.

What a canadian thing to say. Are you really trying to proclaim that 9/11 was our fault? If so - fuck off. WMD's?? I'm sure you can cite mainstream sources? Saddam's WMD programs were mostly of German and Russian origin. His conventional arms were mostly of French and Russian origin. I have never heard credible claims that we supplied WMD's to Saddam/Iraq. Did you just make this up? ...like your Gingrich story?

You, Sir, are a pandering bandwagon jumper who fails in every way to use his brain in a generous manner. You represent to me, on this board, by your comments, the smart but mindless Cowboy Jingoism that led us to this clusterfuck. I don't care if you respond, because I am using the ignore feature on your well-educated (I am sure), but still, somehow idiotic ass.

Pre 9/11/01: Bush = 8 months Clinton = 8 years BTW: Olbermann is the left wing version of Rush Limbaugh. I never cite Limbaugh. It would be a joke if I did. Oh, wait....

Pope, is there any truth to the rumor you once free-soloed the west tower of the narrows bridge using only the rivets and while carrying your unsecured pet iguana over your left shoulder?

Trail Running: Fort Steilacoom Park 4.2mi perimeter loop. Point Defiance 'Square' loop = 4.1mi, 'Triangle Loop' = 3.4mi. Mount Pete/Peak Enumclaw - 1000k climb/trail run, 29mile drive to parking lot from north Tacoma. Green Mountain near Bremerton - 1100k climb/bike/run, about 21 mile drive from north Tacoma. Capitol Peak near Oly provides a 1700'gain on bike/run, but I haven't recorded the drive mileage. As for actual 'mountain' adventure, the closest access east is Carbon River/Mowich Lake at MRNP - about a 55 minute drive from north Tacoma. If you want to drive west you can make it to the Cushman Lake area trailheads in about 70 minutes. Note: It is always shorter to drive across the Narrows and through Gorst/Belfair than to go through Oly/Shelton. Always. Have fun.

FDR's prosecution of the war seems like it would be a deal breaker to someone who hates GWB for far less.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are just the final chapter written by Truman. FDR's use of incendiaries during the last year of the war killed far more civilians than the two atomic bombings. Maybe you should try to dig past history's headlines, put down that beer, and attend history class at least once or twice per semester. The basics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo_in_World_War_II

...and let's not forget his total war doctrine which (rightly or wrongly) left an estimated 3 million japanese civilians incinerated on the streets and in the homes of most major cities there. Yet FDR is a universally loved icon of the american left today. I just don't get it.

Then how about re-naming Olympus Mons?
