Hmm. In 77 I had hair hanging down my back too. And I got hassled quit a bit around "liberal" Missoula. Tvash, a man with your talents should be able to make his own. Get off the internet and do something useful. Jeeze.

They are posting in some isolated forum for an esoteric persuit that brings people together who might never have met otherwise. Then they argue over soundbites as though it were going to change the world. Eventually, everything around them collapses and they are forced to find a job that requires them to actually work.

Ah, You are right. Nothing so far has caused total global annihilation. We should just keep going. Stay the course. Damn the ice bergs. Let them eat cake.

and you'll find many birchers who oppose it as vehemently as you do, though their reasoning is different. But they probably campaigned hard for the Bush policys that led us to where we are now.

I took a concrete workeer's hammer and sawed off most of the pick and adz leaving a nice light hammer with a pointy head and a squre head. Weighs about half what a BD wall hammer does.

Family and Freedom Vibrant and healthy families are essential to securing limited government interference in a free society. Actions which empower families should be encouraged. So they are anti Bush because of his disdain for funding education at all levels and for ripping families apart by sending them off to war even if they thought they signed up for the national guard. National Sovereignty America's Founders fought hard for independence. Americans today should be similarly vigilant and should work to ensure that the nation's independence not be sacrificed. So they are anti-bush because of his dependence on Chinese trade. Inflation, Taxes, Economy Low taxes and sound money, rather than high taxes and inflation, are the key to a robust economy. Less debt and less creation of money out of thin air are the solutions to our economic problems. So they are anti-Bush because he raised taxes on the poor, caused higher inflation, decimated the economy, raise the debt to record levels, and funded the bailout on virtual money. Health Care The quality of health care available in the United States is the envy of the world. Promoting a competitive free enterprise system of health care ensures that we continue to get the best care. So they are anti-bush because he allowed large corporations tax breaks for hostile takeovers of smaller Pharmecutical companies. Immigration Our nation leads the world in the amount of legal immigration each year. Those seeking a better life here should obey our laws. Those who have immigrated illegally should not be granted amnesty. So they like Bush for this reason. Energy Abundant affordable energy is the life blood of economic progress and prosperity, and energy independence is the key to national economic success in America. So they are anti-Bush for increasing our dependence on foreign oil. The Constitution The U.S. Constitution is the finest charter of government yet created for the purpose of limiting government and protecting our natural rights, and freedoms. So they are anti-Bush for dismantling the bill of rights, and several parts of the constitution. War & Foreign Policy America should not seek abroad for monsters to destroy. Instead, the nation should ensure the common defense, seek trade with all, and avoid entangling alliances. So they are anti-Bush for seeking, lying about, and engaging in fear mongering to justify entangling the US in Iraq. They are also anti-Bush for cutting off trade with Iran and North Korea. Privacy and Internet Freedom Americans, as clearly stated in our Constitution, should be secure in their papers and effects. As true in the real world of day to day life, it is equally important in the virtual world online. So they are anti-bush for his support of the Patriot Act which eliminates Privacy on the internet and over the phone. Education Diversity in educational choices is essential in a free society. Education provided for in an open marketplace of ideas is superior to any standardized system imposed by government. SO they are anti-Bush for his "No child left behind" act which instituted WASL like testing nationwide. Environmental Stewardship Americans seek to be good stewards of the environment. The best way to achieve that goal is through respect for property rights and through individual action in local communities. So they are anti-Bush because he i openly supports trashing the environment. Right to Bear Arms Every person has the right to self defense, whether against hunger, crime or tyranny. To that end, the Founders declared that the right to bear arms may not be infringed. So they are anti-Bush because he supported the Patriot act which layed the groundwork for seizing anything deem a threat to national security. Wow. And all this time I thought they were republicans.

Yeah the truth is, I don't miss Montana all that much. I don't think there was much inbreading. Just bad gene pools compounded by long days on a tractor. I loved having a mountain range to myself but when I got down into town, there were too many rednecks. Funny thing was, they mostly came from other parts like California. When I was little, people used to stop and help each other. It was pretty much live and let live unless you took off with someone's daughter. Now you're likely to get hit by a beer bottle for being stopped on the highway.

You boys can dis Idahoe all you want but Monatana is where we ride pissed off 1200 lb bulls for fun. Try it once city boy. Then you'll understand why we drink and drive.

Take a telescope to Nine-Pipes and glass the front.

Its like pot only you feel all,........well,..........tingly inside.

All bolts, all the time no matter what. That is the definition of an idiot.

Yeah. Dang. Why hasn't he offered Palin anything. Oh yeah. Because hiring another moron is not change.

C'mon. We know you have em. Post teh pics.

Mt Ruth. It is past Baker and Shucksan. I think it is about a 7 mile hike up the trail and a pretty nice place to camp up at the base of the peak. Been afew years so you will have look at a map.

Oh yeah. Sorry I forgot. If Rush didn't say it or it didn't run on Fox news, then it is propoganda. Thanks for posting your stinging reminder.

That's why I am so thankful that republicans work so hard to keep people from voting.

Did you see this ?

Actually, this can be a great place to met other climbers if you are willing to ignore the ones with personal issues bubbling over into their internet exchanges. Try posting in the partners forum for something specific. Also include what your experience level is, what gear you have, and what you can contribute like a ride, gas money, beer, etc. But be specific. For instance, look at a few guide books there at the gym and pick a route or two that are likely to be in season and post for a partner for one of those on a specific weekend. This is a difficult time of year to count on the weather btu Vantage can still be good and even Leavenworth might have some climbing if you can stand a few drips. Also peruse the Partner forum for other people who sound like you and get together with them. Getting out anywhere will help your alpine preparedness if nothing else. Cheers.

Don't try to reason with them Kev. That will only piss them off more. Don't try to expose the rotting and disease ridden corpse of that vile ne'r do well, "COMPROMISE" either. He deserved his unsavory end. Read carefully the title of this thread and be warned. Woe to all yea who enter here.

Badda bump

She was so dry, her scales had fish. She was so dry, her babies drank powdered milk. She was so dry, .............

I replied with a nastygram once. Those scams started pouring in like a swarm of locusts.

No,no,no. You are supposed to ask, "How dry was it?"

Two versions of the same concept.

I knew a girl in highschool we all called "Carp-lips". She had dry skin......
