trask's intellect is on display again, i see

Trask, being anti-death penalty does not equal pacifist.

a guilty, condemned individual perhaps is lacking a measure of humanity, but aren't we also showing that same lack of humanity by taking the condemned's life? Is it not more human, to be at least somewhat merciful and spare his/her life? Again, the practical side is it is just not worth the risk to those wrongly convicted to employ the death penalty. There is an argument to be made that incarcerating someone for their entire life is worth than death. I hope not to personally know the answer to that.

too many people have

Trask may be right and some people probably do deserve the death penalty but I absolutely agree w/CBS on this one. It's not worth the life of a single innocent person to keep the death penalty in this country.

not wanting to put people to death is trendy? who'd have thunk it?

at this point does it matter what these other countries think? Shrub is going to attack with or with out allies if he feels like it. My opinion is not based on the polls from other nations.

never said i was hot and your definition of normal would probably scare me.

normal sucks

use e-mail? not totally secure by any means but secure from the site admin folks if you're that concerned.

trask has a limited view of the world

We climbed w/3 using the reverso a couple of times last summer. Takes a little while to get comfy w/it using 2 ropes but no probs to report.

so what exactly is it about in your mind? i don't think it's about oil but the pres seems to change what he thinks it's about.

sc nice summation. you're correct about the younger shrub..er..bush and his time in the texas nat'l guard.

great...Secretary of Defense, Lizard Lips Rumsfield

i hate it when you guys creep me out!

I was on guye Sunday afternoon. The lower portion is deep slush but it's not bad. Didn't venture up too high as i had my kid w/me but there's not a lot of snow. Big waterfall on the West face if that gives you any idea. We had lots of fun doing some snowshoeing and a little climbing.

I watched the story of similarly fated expedition to Alaska in 1914 last night on the Discovery channel (i think) Anybody see that and/or recall the name of it. I'm drawing a blank. I'm not going anywhere by boat that involves that much ice!

why is that we all seem to assume that political beliefs are formed in college? Mine are the polar oppposite of what they were back then.

read a biography about her a while back. from the notes of hers that were included i would say that greg w was right. her editors apparently fought w/her to shorten those speeches. She seemed to feel that the general public needed the point pounded into them. Much the way she treats the average person in her stories as a brainless follower, she seemed to view the real world much the same way. At least that's what i gleened from the biography.

i'm soory. my mistake eh?

i didn't know it was so tough to translate canadian to american

yeah can get a new mouth piece, you can remove the mouth piece to scrub it. hot water and bleach are effective.

use both if you are uncomfortable w/your filter. A filter can be more effective against some organisms. if you take care of it and use it properly it should be quite reliable.

before i went on a trip this summer, my mom gave me an msr waterworks filter. debated on taking it b/c it was kind of heavy and i'm a wuss. Glad to have taken it and will definitey use it again this year. I'm still thinking about getting one of those little sports bottles for shorter outings.
