hippy!!! size matters i reckon. seems much easier for small companies to treat their employees well - the bigger the organization, the more impersonal the relationship between owner and employee becomes, and the easier to screw them. kinda like slavery in that regard, perhaps? reading narratives of former slaves, there seems a similiar trend - satisfaction w/ servitude was much more common in small settings, much less so on huge plantations.

Brother...I am as left wing as they come but, it is also the responsibility of the person who "agrees" to the job being offered to say yes or no to it for whatever $$$$ is agreed upon. That is capitalism. On the other hand run-away capitalism is a bad thing. It's the role of collective bargaining to arrive at an agreed upon compensation. Asking employees to negotiate on their own isn't serious. Even 19th-early 20th century workers understood that, which is the reason why we have vacations, the 8-hour day, no child labor, etc ... or at least what's left of it after 30+ years of regressive policies. word. workers only have bargaining power when collectively organized. historically, big business owners always sought to divide and conquer their employers, often violently, and sure as hell didn't provide any opportunity for "negotiation" w/ the vast majority of their workers. does that make me a communist to think, nitro? is it possible to be pro-union w/o being percieved as a das-kapital quoting krazy?

unions are clearly bad - otherwise walmart would have them!

steve (tg) you used to be a super-regular 'roudn here and a great patron of the cc.com spray-o-verse - how is ole'boy?

i could do that! if....like....um....

yeah, in hindsight makes sense how you can fuck up your shoulder in the position i had it - arm was rolled over, palm inverted and flat against the wall and way behind my, kinda like you're reaching into the backseat while driving to get somethign off the floor - apparently the classic position for dislocating the joint, based on my exhaustive interwbe reading

riverside is easy to spot - near the end of grassy ledges - a big fat bramble grows at its base and requires yearly pruning - jim calls it "mushroom ledge" and says it was the first ledge they developed on grassy ledges, before even the LOLP - there's a near 10 foot high step on the far end of the ledge - riverside requires a wierdo move just to get started, as i show in my full re-tard style here

the highlight for me was leading into that part, growing confused as to how in the hell i'd done this in the past, deciding to just pour more ommf into the solution, only to hear my right shoulder make a loud, painful pop - don't know that i didn't momentarily dislocate the fuckign thing as it's been days now and despite resting it, putting it in a sling, etc. it still hurts like hell and's lost much of its range of motion - nature's way of telling me to go back to aiding?

you'd just spend it on pirate-beer.

dunno maaan - you start trundling loose blocks on most of that side and likely you'll have the summit back down to the ground by the time yer done

beacon bolting ? =

sure would like to see the form - would be nice if we could put a sticky-noted link to a pdf in this beatard forum

i like how the bottom of mine has been chewed to shit by fifi'ng to it when cleaning funky aid climbs

seems a clear difference - who on earth thinks adding bolts to a pre-existing route is kosher?

i dropped a jumar from the top of the upper town wall last summer - found it in 2 minutes once back ont he ground - been using it regularly for a year now and appears no worse for the wear

never seen the form or experienced the wait time to get it approved - if you're just out here for a couple days i bet it would be too big a pain in the ass though - that said, if you're on the n side and just a few feet off the ground on a crowded day you might well enounter The Man and His questions

the world will not rest until this very important question is answered

maybe there was just a strong crosswind over the crapper?

i can't really - that's why i picked up that ultra-kewl bolt-gun from vertical limit on ebay the other day Lord have mercy. indeed - i'm fucking up my bad climbing movie references - do believe that was cliffhanger that featured the mechanical hotness

i can't really - that's why i picked up that ultra-kewl bolt-gun from vertical limit on ebay the other day

fucker of mothers, for i gotz thangs 2 do 2morrow should be out there wendsday or thursday though

yw is fine besides being covered in a tremendous amount of pulverized rock/soil/veggies/etc - makes the climbing momentarily much more engaging! unless someone feels like rapping the first 3 pitches w/ a broom i imagine it'll stay mexican-whore dirty for the whole summer... steve, when can you climb this week?

Lapdog? :[] you thirsty kev?

looks like it was worth The Suck

why not a rhode island climber? least in or you can be legally too high to notice the babble
