When I was living in Europe, I smoked and at fat-assed american woman came up to me and said "you know... smoking is very bad for your health." I said back, "Ya know what lady, being fat is bad for ya too." She huffed and walked away and as I translated for the two friends that didn't know english, they started laughing their asses off. At that moment the lady flipped us off and told us to fuck off. Helluva day.

by this logic we are all africans. That is what I said on my SAT registration. Would have gotten a shit load with scholarships, but unfortunately, no dice.

Josh... again you are using pollarized thinking. They are not talkinga bout clear cutting, but selective thinning. The sierra club thinks this selective thinning should be done on smaller trees. The problem with this is that it is not economical. Again, it is a trade-off. Either you can deal with the massive forest fires, or you can do smoething about it; either prescribed burning or selective thinning. Obviously prescribed burning would cost the tax payers directly, but iwht the selective cutting, you allow the forest service, the forest and the tax payers to live as close as possible to a harmonious situation. Another thing to think about Josh is that if there is a fire, all the trees are already dead. No-one is suggesting clear-cutting as you stated. You know, you need not attack every policy that is from Bush. I don't agree with everything he does, but sometimes he is right. Hell... anyone can get lucky sometimes.

...and MisterE... there are environmentally concious logging companies that are under the same umbrella which have inspectors to determine if they are infact using environmentally conscious methods. The main method is using thinning methods as opposed to clear cutting. The reason for the inspectors is to ensure that the higher prices gleaned are in fact warrented. So there is, in fact, a structure which could conceivably take the reigns of this new policy.

Hey Josh... when you spend the last century fighting forest fires and essentially creating the fuel for the large fires we have been experiencing lately, you must do something to combat them. Forest fires happen naturally and when we suppress them, we make it possible for larger ones to take place. The Bush admin. is probably getting a kick, but it is not a black and white issue as your are suggesting (and it rarely is).

I woulda paid money to see that!

Damn... took me a minute to find the rope there.

Missing bolts on face

I was 'schwacking around trying to find the elusive steelhead and found this. It looks like it belongs to a guiding service, so if you know whose it is let me know. Thanks

What isn't fair is trying to beat, burn and sabotage your views on others. I agree that most murderers should get more time, but I am fine with a terrorist getting an easy 22 years.

So with these greedy investors, is it possible for a small time investor to have a chance with out a regulatory system in place? Obviously the average Joe doens't have the time to research their investments to the extent that would assure the retention of his wealth. The only other solution is for small-timers not to invest and I think that would be a bad idea.

In keeping with the moonbat vernacular... facts please.

eternalX... that system was tried before the great depression. There is no way that a casual investor can know enough about their portfolios to be sure that they are not going to be screwed. They just don't have the time. Hell, full-time investors got hammered on some of those deals.

What exactly are you implying here?

JJD... insider trading essentially caused the Great Depression didn't it?

There's your precious evidence.

The inherent difference, is that the NRA never told their members to shoot someone in cold blood did they? No. ELF not only tells their follower to commit terrorist act, but they show them how. If you are still grasping at straws, you got a thicker skull than Rocky.

I doubt you will find similar instructions on a NRA site. John Allen Muhammed could have gotten marksmanship tips from the NRA.... ...and Hanibal Lecter could have gotten cooking tips from the Marth Stewart website... what is your point? The NRA didn't promote the illegal, violent behaviour that ELF did.

I also like a group who likely does more to damage the environment then they do to protect it. How much pollution do you think the fire bombings did? Plus, given that insurance covered the damage, they didn't even take any cars off the street.

also... The NRA is not the "Top domestic terrorist threat" in the U.S.A.

I doubt you will find similar instructions on a NRA site.

I'm glad you disagree. But there is no proof associating him - no evidence! Here is a similar assertion. A democrat murdered someone... they should all pay.
