Hey man, I've got a free car and a free double headed anal probe you can have.

Hey JayB , thanks for the suggestions! It's hard getting started in an entirely new area. Somehow I dont think there is an equivilent to cc.com here either, is there?

I miss the Cascades Tomorrow I hope to do Torrie and Grays, two of the oh-so-exciting 14ers here. They are all like freaking hills.

They weren't forcibly displace; 75-80% of the Palestinian population was refused reentry to Israel after fleeing war. To me the difference is small. Amusingly Bush is now pursuing a UN sanctioned strategy (the original 1947 mandate sanctioned 2 states - 1 jewish, 1 arab) You are right, but then again, I would give second thought to giving re-entry to a bunch of people who left then fought along side the countries that immediately went to war with my country. It is interesting, as you point out, that Bush wants anything to do with a UN plan, but i guess I have seen stranger things...

Let's remember that no palestiniens were forceably displaced when Israel was created. Great numbers left in protest thinking their Arab brothers would drive the Israelis out and they could return. They were the ones to first take the path of violence. Three wars later (none started by the Israelis) the situation has not changed much. The situation is very complex, and the Israel of today is not helping the situation at all. That doesn't mean, however, that the other guys are innocents being exploited. Who knows what the situation would have been if the Palestinians and Arabs had trid a peaceful solution with Israel over 50 years ago, but one thing is for sure: Arafat has not helped the situation. He's a terrorist and he's better off dead.

As much as is wrong with them, they are still way cooler than pro sports.

Nothing like gross oversimplifications. If he wanted to help his people he could have pressured the Arab states to accept statehood for the palestiniens along with Israel in 1948. As it is, he accomplished nothing, isolated his people from the west and led to numerous deaths.

Good question. It's certainly not like he's hooking up with any hot australian college girls.

The republicans would never agree to anything in law that would increase voter turnout. They know damn well that the more lower income and middle income people (that don't normally tend to vote) vote, they will lose more and more elections.

so is the climb actually technical or are the pictures misleading to the overall character of the climb?

Yes, and as soon as two thing happen, the democrats will return to power: 1.)The figure out how to campaign against stop-at-noghting ugly campaining republicans 2.)The public reaizes the country is continuing it's downhill slide, and no amount of talk about 9/11 or terrorism matters any more. It's a cycle...one side fucks it up, then it goes to the other, so on and so forth... This election proves that scare tactics do work.

In an election like this, it's a wasted vote. Believe what you want, but that is certainly my opinion.

If top notch audio is your primary concern, than skip the iPod altogether. It's audio quality is only average.

friday - pre-halloween party saturday - huge ass halloween party complete with riots and all other assorted craziness. good times.

I wish the "original" size was higher res. These pictures are awesome for wallpaper, but the resolution is lacking.

Well, its good to see that you've god some extra-ciricular activies as well. Hittin' some of that nice hippie ass, eh? There is pretty much only one thing I DONT miss about Washington...the girls. There seems to be about 10x higher concentration of hot girls here. That and we throw down like no other. Well, maybe not Chico State. But who the hell would go to Chick state??

Yeah, if you aren't getting pussy, partying, in class, or out having fun then i suppose spending hours on the computer is cool. It's a sad comment on your life...

Ummm...reread what I type. I am pointing out the fact that blu-collar workers vote democratic asnd have less free time to vote. As is it today, republicans are more likely to vote.

I'm surprised some of the dems on this site arent more supportive of this idea. It would overwhelmingly help the democratic party. Who is more likely to have the time to vote, a blue-collar factory worker on a strict hourly schedule who uses public transportation or a wealthier guy who drives his benz to work and can duck out for 2 hours without notice? Get rid of columbus day and make nov 2 a holiday instead.

this was the only time of the year i have gone into a crevasse, and they were hidden by wind scattered snow. thankfully i only went in knee deep, but it was still scary as hell.

It is changing fast and day by day you and your country become less significant.

Funny - that's the same thing my Dad always said about California...and he added deserts to boot. We have deserts too WA still has more biodiversity than even big ol CA. None of their cities other than San Fran are worth a piss. I love San Fran tho.

Discuss? Canada's economy is still meaningless on a global scale. How is that?

Just leave it for a while to see... I love it here, but you can't beat WA...oceans, lakes, islands, mountains, cool cities and everything else. This is overall the best state in the union and anybody that says othrtwise is dumb.

Out of curiosity, why would removing somebody's signs from the median be illegal? Technically, it's just litter if its on public land its just as much my right to remove them as it is somebody else's right to place them there.
