If it means nothing to you, then stay outta the arena. fish on

Not only in Seattle, but world wide. Mundane but important topics don't sell copy. In the end, it's always about money.

I think Gen. Patton would disagree with you.

This isn't 1905. Bicycles shouldn't share the road with 4000 lb. automobiles. Bike paths are the way to go, but I sure don't want to pay for them...do you?

I have a friend that returned from Iraq (he runs air traffic control for the Army out of Baghdad International) on emergency leave for 8 days. He is now back in Iraq. The one thing that struck him? The media are clueless as to what is going on - they focus on the negative when there are SO MANY good news stories every day. Here are some more that were sent to me: Sorry about the karots - didn't have the time or inclination to take them out. Commentary: Where’s fair and balanced news? > > By Beau Whittington > September 16, 2003 > > > WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Sept. 16, 2003) – A striking headline hit the New York Daily News last week – > “Flash for the media: U.S. won war in Iraq.” > > “The United States and the coalition of its few faithful allies are not winning the war in Iraq – they have > already won it,” A.M. Rosenthal’s commentary said. But, Rosenthal added, it would take hours hunting through > stacks of newspapers and never-ending TV snippets to figure it out. > > While Rosenthal may have overstated the victory, he’s spot on about the coverage. Being one of those > journalists who daily wades through the negativism of the mainstream media, I know how difficult it is to find > the positive outcomes of the troops trying to rebuild Iraq. > > Even the New York Times fleetingly mentioned the subject in its lengthy Sept. 15 article about State Secretary > Collin Powell’s visit to Southwest Asia. It attributed Powell as saying he, “found that more progress was > being made in securing and building Iraq than had been emphasized in news reports, mentioning for example new > parent-teacher groups at local schools.” > > The lengthy article continued to discuss the trip by reporting a soldier died that day, Powell was unable to > reach an agreement on a faster turnover of power and it outlined the secretary’s dining arrangements. > > Nowhere was there another mention of the school improvements in the fleeting reference to Powell’s statements. > > Again, you have to peruse the media closely to find stories about progress in Iraq. But, there are some good > news stories. > > The Washington Post ran two positive stories in its Sept. 14 issue. > > One discussed how American Soldiers are training Iraqi recruits for a new national army. The Los Angeles Times > ran a similar story Sept. 16. Both indicated the recruits reflect the country’s ethnic and religious mix. One > quotes a “burly sergeant recruit” saying, “We want to say that we’re all Iraqi, and we all are proud to be in > the Iraqi army.” > > The second, “Giving Iraqis a stake,” frankly discussed the risks and benefits of American efforts to give > Iraqis a stake in rebuilding their country. The article pointed out that even though the summer has been > “brutal” the country has not “plunged into chaos or the bloody civil war that experts have long predicted.” > The article squarely stated American efforts for diversity in Iraqi hardly guarantee success, but continued, > “They do suggest … Iraq has certainly not been lost.” > > Yes, there are a few articles about progress in Iraq.

fine by me - you wanted some reasons; I gave you some hasta

I'm not trying to frighten you. Just pointing out some of the good reasons to be trained and armed. It's still a personal choice of course, but because many of us chose to carry, doesn't necessarily mean we're paranoid or gung-ho Rambo wannabes. I prefer to think of it as "being prepared". The world is a more dangerous place now, of that I'm sure you'll agree. Why not give yourself a bit of an edge?

.... more like .... and

One last reason to carry, by Chuck Taylor: With the ever-increasing number of states instituting concealed carry statutes these days, interest in the subject has burgeoned to perhaps its highest point in recent history. And, due to escalating concerns about home, vehicle and self-defense in our troubled times, record numbers of citizens are availing themselves of the concealed carry option. Why? Easy. They do it because they realize that regardless of how hard the police try, they can't really protect anyone; only pursue and, hopefully, eventually apprehend the perpetrator. Sheer numbers show this conclusively. There are just too many crimes being committed for the police to be able to effectively intervene at the time. And the best solution to the problem is the concealed weapon. With it, the element of surprise is on the side of the intended victim. Study after study shows that the perpetrators of violent felonies like murder, rape, armed robbery, et al, do not expect their victims to be armed. Instead, they expect their projection of force, often deadly force, to do the trick, to paralyze their intended victim into submission. Are you paying attention MaryLou?

ScottPee, let's please contain these types of photos to spray where they belong. Thank you. The management

Thanks for the head's up Scrambler. A good reminder for us non-geeky types. I know I tend to trust you guys and dolls at cc.com, but am reminded by childish shit like Timmy's link how vulnerable we are. I'm certainly glad I've outgrown that kind of juvenile behavior. Fuck you Timmy
