Much as it surprises me, I have to halfway agree w/ Serenity here. (There's a first time for nearly everything, apparently.) Having a draft, one that young Georgie W or Darth Cheny types couldn't so easily duck out of would probably make the old white guys in DC less likely to unleash the dogs of war. It would certainly change the dynamic of opposition within the general population. One of the biggest reasons we saw tens of thousands of young people (and others) protesting the police action in Vietnam (not a "Declared War" BTW) was that most young men at the time knew that they stood a fair chance of being sent over. 'Kinda riled up the parents of said young men too. SSG Bales is a sad case. If he's guilty, it's a horrific crime, but I see him more as a tragic figure than a monster.

Gonna' make me sell these on eBay (?) bump.

Instead of telling me why my candidate is wrong....why dont you tell me who to vote for that will do something different than the status quo. Rick Santorum's your man then. He'll ban contraception, close down the public education system, and eliminate any science-based approach to environmental regulations.

Ron Paul effectively wants to euthanize the patient, and people like Bill and Kevin stand behind him saying, "at least it's different!" At least it might give Bill some more freakish, disturbing images to add to his collection.

Make me an offer bump.

The Canadians always ask about weapons when I'm entering the country. "I say, do you have any guns in the car?" I always thought it was 'cause they figured all us 'Muricans were a bit crazy, and likely armed. Maybe it's just me.

Ya'll heading to Alaska this year? Buy these, and don't loose any toes. [/img] [/img] Size medium. Tasteful and thermally efficient black on black color scheme. !00% excellent condition. These fit my 43.5 LaSportiva Trango Extremes nicely. New these are going for $160, asking $100 OBO. Can ship. PM me if interested.

What's Bible Spice up to these days?

I'm pretty sure Dan Osman did some even more AMAZING! shizz.

Is too.

Well I already live on an organic farm! But I got to thinking...by the time the GMO corn could cause me any problems, I'll probably have already long since met my destiny as a Cordon Bleu sandwich! So I'll take whatever corn I can get! Thanks for your concern corn-cern! Fixed it for ya.'

He was a man of many achievements. I always thought Dan's Dreadful Direct on Castle Rock was pretty cool, and demonstrated very solid climbing skills and a bold imagination. I had the pleasure of chatting with him a few years back. He was quite humble, and full of enthusiasm for taking exotic bike trips on one of his trusty Bike Fridays.

So much for Sport Climbing.

"He burned everything he had," An [his son] said. "He burned his toothpaste, Band-Aids, extra socks. He burned whatever he could." Q: Just how does one burn toothpaste? Also from The Seattle Times: Missing Hikers & Climbers 4 more people overdue in MRNP, possibly at Camp Muir from what I can tell. Pretty big weather system to be sitting out.

"Very impressive. I have a UL setup and without rope it weighs 25 pounds with 5 days food and 2.3 litres, but my gear is definitely not mountaineering grade." Judging by your rappel setup, I'd say that's a given. : )

I like how she got a little "help" making the jump.

OK, have we all had fun now? I'm actually a bit sorry for piling on the newbie moosejah, but it IS tempting when someone sets themselves up as such an obvious target. (Sorry dude, it's true.) And, just to show that there's no hard feelings, I'll even let you in on the big secret; a rasta bivi kit is considered by some to be the ultimate lightweight solution to an unplanned night out in the hills. A nice fat glowing herbal cigarette apparently can make the long cold dark times more entertaining. Personally, I'd prefer a tent, thick foam pad, and warm bag for an adventure like you're planning. I hope you have a great time on your trip.

All you'll need is a Rasta Bivi Kit.

Why hasn't anyone suggested Enumclaw yet?

You must have not read much about him, then. Do you only get your news from youtube? everyone else knows more about Paul than you do You mean newsletters written by someone else TWENTY YEARS AGO, which he disavows and rejects? Libtards sure are great at beating a long dead horse. Don't get me wrong, Paul is a kook, but he's no racist. Ron Paul is either a liar (my pick based on his voting record) or utterly incompetent for letting someone he refuses to divulge spew racist garbage under his name for decades. Well, he is from Texas, so there is the chance he could be both a liar and incompetent. 'Kinda like W, but with a much, much worse tailor.

Bicker, bicker, bicker. Truth remains; ONE party is and has been systematically taking various "legal" and illegal means to distort and skew the democratic process. Guesses which one?

Still not.

Taken on/near summit of Eldo?

That would be just the ticket for rapping off Yocum.

I think Rob's in this one. [video:youtube] Pretty hot, eh Sam?
