Greg, you wanted respectful political debate and then you proceed to lump everyone with a similar political viewpoint into one sack because of the actions of one loon? Did you really expect not to get flamed? You don't strike me as that disingenuous... I don't many a liberal would condone the guys actions. Likewise, I don't think many a Republican would condone the actions of some gun-wielding psycho path shooting down liberals.

Greg, while I don't condone the behavior, do you honestly feel that liberals have some sort of corner on the market for thuggish/inappropriate behavior during an election year?

having been subcontracted to a job from lockheed at one time i can say that they are very much laughing at that comment right now. it's a great quote, if only for exposing his ego. ;-)

well, sounds like they aren't seasons campground types. i wasn't used to them either for awhile because i tended to do wilderness camping in the mountains. however, i do have sensitive hearing and i realized that campgrounds are one of those 'multiple use' areas, not a wilderness area. it'd be nice if people respected the post-10pm rule but they often don't (esp in Camp 4). thus, rather than make a scene i just bring ear plugs. problem solved.

cool people, but they need better tunes. the stuff they play now plays like someone's killing a cat.

so is the deluge of responses what you'd hoped it would be?

The never ending quest to find All Things Wrong With The World continues unabated.....

i'm surprised Dru hasn't posted multiple pics yet....

I wonder if any of the news outlets would be interested. They certainly seem interested when climbers are facing death on Rainier. Why not a little interest here. Who knows a talking head?

interesting point, what's to keep undocumented Canadians from taking the poll? ;-)

For those of you putting down "not voting" you also get to be placed into the "i can't complain about national politics for the next 4 years" bin. ;-)

now now. don't start with smokers or fat people. you'll just end up making this place a poor-man's craigslist.

What makes me laugh are the people who claim either candidate will win by a landslide when that's clearly not the case. Then I start crying when the winner claims to have a 'mandate from the masses'.

Dr. Crash, that's what I meant. thanks for the clarification.

this is why i use secure wifi.....i ain't payin' for the neighbor's kid to surf internet porn. i get enough of that from the wifey.

i notice most of the people doing the bitching about banning are people who neither pay to use the site nor put in any effort at running/maintaining it. ...

Sunday: went cragging at Pearly Gates in Leavenworth. Absolutely gorgeous weather and basically no one there. A couple of guys there when we showed up then they left soon thereafter. Then a guy and a girl showed up just before we left. Anyone figure out how to finesse that start on Celestial Groove? I was trying to figure out how to do it without seiging it... Crap, I hate that stump sticking out of the ground at the start. Reminds me too much of Nutcracker in Yosemite... :-P

Bush != Putin because Putin is considered to be a sex symbol in Russia. Any of you ladies having similar thoughts about Dubya?

A "healthy debate" opens minds, it doesn't crack skulls. You also don't have to be verbally offensive in order to have politically incorrect ideas.

I like that....."torturing suspects without proper authorization" Gosh, if only he'd had a hall pass from Rummy!

Now this is just plain wrong. What kind of message are we sending here? How many messages are we sending? Sigh....even back in the 80's my college teachers were complaining about how students were prepared for college courses. I don't see how this is going to help. Can't cut out the fat benefits or the inflated salaries in government but boy we can sure stick it to the teachers. woot!

The old VW "Thing"

I knew someone was going to eventually ask me that. Since curious minds want to know and before one of you paranoid wankers calls Homeland Security: I want to use it as a stop bath for printing black and white prints. It's just as effective but a lot less stinky than the acetic acid stop baths people use.
