There are no "free markets", there is only corporate welfare. there is no progressive utopia, only statist welfare, tyranny, and oppression

linky Unless of course your idea of progressive is the same as mine....movement towards free minds and free markets! anytime these polls ask questions in terms of the framing used by corporate media propaganda ("government run", "free market", ..), the results are conform to the dominant propaganda. Now if you ask people whether they want a strong health care public option to compete with private insurance, the response is at 2/3 in favor of a strong public option. It's the same story about any other type of government programs such as medicare, social security, public schools, etc ... your phrasing of the question is just as much bullshit - as is your conclusion to what the response means

bullshit

can u reach it, might have a better shot at my camel toes. fixed that for ya... btw, do they really sag that much?

or beer can pull tabs... we have been deprived of making cool trinkets out of these for far too long!

what does climbing have to do with comfort? ;-) i have a 2-person tent. It didn't cost me much more than my bivy, but was certainly more than $25. But, then again, it works.

For alpine dude. I've seen folks bring up some flimsy tarps on volcano climbs in great conditions (forecast bluebird, freezing level 14K or higher), but as a general practice... not so much Me I prefer my $150 bivy sack any time I can get away with it. Not really that pricy for the confidence I have in it and considering the consequences of equipment failure in marginal condtions. Pants cost me $65. Less than a pair of tennis shoes.

Yup. And I kind of agree, too. There is a lot of overpriced crap sold to willing buyers based on marketing. A piece of Tyvek with pebbles in the corners and strings tied around the pebbles is in certain applications better than the $600 North Face tent, and the Salvation Army pants can perform just as well for rock climbing as the Metolious threads (I'll stop short of buying my climbing ropes at Home Depot, though). So, then, you use a Tyvek shelter and Salvation Army pants, right?

TTK, on the other hand...

and gleefully supported by liberals who felt mentally-challenged folks belonged in the mainstream and now look what we have amongst us - Kevbone

climatologists and glen beck are "functionally similar"

at least he is smart enough to know that the Walmart pup tent is a piece of shit.

Admit it, you feel like a total jackass for buying into that propaganda. As well you should.

It was *historic*!

Boner's mental retardation is most likely genetically-based. Chode-licker's most assuredly is due to profound, traumatic brain damage.

The audacity of hope!!

Unless, say, it's swollen shut. Chodelickerboy's mouth doesn't talk, it just defecates perpetually.

You're kind of an angry dumb shit, aren't ya? "kind of"? now that's a monumental understatement

Thanks, man!

Why not just stick with the term "Untermensch" like your hero and role-model did?

which you illustrate by personal example on a daily basis

Anyone taken a look recently at the NE Buttress and/or N face routes? How are they shaping up?

Who's "McSame" now?

Weird. I thought he sounded like a more articulate Bush. War on terror, blah blah blah.

You should move to Jersey. Closer to your love. Is that where Dunkin' Donuts has its headquarters?
