Death Magnetic kicks ass.

You are going to have to be more specific. I do not think his music is obsolete. I listen to just about everything except indie rock and country. a lot of the old-schoolers still put out good music that is relevant

if you are packing the next time we climb rainier, don't whine about weight if I ask you to carry an ice screw. ;-)

It only takes one executive order in 09 to revert this change.

Ringo

Steve Vai rocks. He plays with plenty of emotion. That being said, I wouldn't listen to him 24/7.

The message is offensive and ridiculous. All they would have to do to make it reasonable would be to slightly reword it. Say: "Religion is but myth and superstition and you can live a fulfilling life without it."

That's easy: 1930's republican Spain. I'm not sure why this is a big deal. Trying to play "gotcha" again? To make it easier, I'd say I could think of a number of western European democracies and others around the world during different periods of the 20th century that I'd find more appealing than what this country has turned into. Namely, those that focused more attention and resources on fostering and institutionalizing enlightenment values and republican participation in the political process, those dealing more effectively with the stark inequalities in opportunities and living standards for regular folks, those that took the lessons from two world wars to heart and rejected chauvinist nationalism and belligerent "know-nothingism". Those that decided that education and culture and leisure and honest work and individual growth and preserving the integrity of the land require something more than "don't worry, lavishly rewarding humanity's worst impulses and basest desires will lead us to the promised land". Yep, pretty few and far between, fleeting glimpses really. Dumb thugs, aristocratic leftovers, fascists, economic kooks, shortsighted union bosses, IMF technocrats, and American firepower and skullduggery have done their job well. So good in fact that when all their bubbles stop popping they may find they've taken democracy with it. You're one whiny little bitch. Glass half empty? You could have a glass full to the brim and complain that the minuscus deprived you of a few microliters. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of initiative 1000 you sorry douche.

I think that misinformed is a more fitting adjective. I invite you to provide links to the threads where I've made either argument. Mattp's MO is to manufacture fictitious arguments of others with whom he disagrees and attribute statements to them which they never made.

Most of that snow is gone. :-( Hidden Lake Peaks looked cool. I wish I would have thought of that!

Trip: Red Mountain - Scramble Date: 11/30/2008 Trip Report: My friend CC and I headed over to the pass to get some exercise after the first round of holiday gluttony. We hiked up to the trail's end near Red Pond and just picked a scramble line. Snow/ice started on the trail at about 4000 feet up through the top. Red mountain has patchy snow on the south, with a depth of a few inches. The rock was wet, loose, and slippery. All the nearby surrounding peaks looked about the same. We need a few more storms before we have anything resembling a snow pack and skiable terrain. Gear Notes: Ice axe.

Your anger is sad. I pity you.
