For many closed dark spaces, even a low-wattage appliance bulb is of sufficient brilliance. well, i'm happy it worked, even for you. blurpy

I hope Marc didn't take any big ass whippers (20 feet).

it is right - rarely used, but right. look it up.

will you go in black face too?

they only got to hunt once. they've been tied up in the courts since then You mean after they used a M2 .50 cal machine gun to tear the whale in half; "just like their ancestors did?" I think they "have" to - you know to be "humane". I'd be all for forcing them to do it using traditional methods (which are very cool and ingenious, BTW, involving harpoons and bouys that wear the whale out, and an ahtletic multi-hour chase).

Amen, brother. And the checkpoints suck donkey dicks but they are not the same as Nazi Germany either. not yet. so how many terrorist did they catch through check points thus far? sounds like another great way to waste tax $$$ hey, I said it sucks, didn't I?

like the freedom to hunt whales, as their ancestors did?

And pharmaceuticals too? And hospitals? And Doctors in private practice? I think the first step is just to lower insurance costs. Health insurance industry makes billions in profits. That's a good place to start. Should Dr's be non-profit? Of course not. I know some Dr's. They don't make all that much. I think the first place to start is the insurance companies HUGE profits. They're raking it in while denying claims? Fuck that. Non-profit doesn't mean they'd get no salary. Part of the problem is having these guys on the stock market, with a board of directors, shareholders, etc. looking to maximize profits. But taking this out of the equation - people working at these companies would still earn a living.

are you saying to take pride in our short bus?

Amen, brother. And the checkpoints suck donkey dicks but they are not the same as Nazi Germany either.

And pharmaceuticals too? And hospitals? And Doctors in private practice? Everyone has to buy insurance if their employer doesn't cover it. Say as a fixed rate payroll deduction. For those unemployed, it's covered for a time, just like unemployment. Everyone has some copay for each visit and some deductible.

did you make khorovatz?

We aren't in Detroit

I am Spartacus

this is spray

Everyone born here is a Native American.

To answer the question posed in the subject line of this thread: the author who originated it.

Yes, like "border patrol" inspections along interior highways. See my comments in that thread. How do you reconcile your desire for govt services and programs with your love of freedom? He loves the freedom of the hills.

Yes, like "border patrol" inspections along interior highways. Which FW has stated clearly he opposes. Can we discuss the Climate Change Crisis now?

Taunt? Doesn't sound bad...but for some reason I get the image of Nicholson in that movie...

Exactly! Also, all work and no spray makes Jack a dull boy!

I don't think there are enough photos on that pianoforte. fortepiano, 5K. both work dude.

Then why are they here? I'm sick of people who come here and immediately set about complaining and trying to remake America into the place they left. Idiots. You're right, people who move here have no right to attempt to improve their adopted country. Trying to impose or whine for government health care is not "improvement". It's like walking into MacDonalds for a meal and complaining about how unhealthy the food is. Eat somewhere else. So, it's OK for them to try to improve our country, unless their goals are deemed by you to be "wrong?" People in America have every right to try and implement whatever changes they want, be it communistic, socialistic, fascistic, "collectivistic" or otherwise. That's what's great about America. Even the constitution can be changed. Nobody gets to decide which changes are on the approved list for immigrants to bring up. And I have a right to lobby for and express support for tighter immigration laws; no? Of course. What are we arguing about again? Could we please get to discussing Global Warming now, damn it! Fuck Health Care - we need to save the fucking planet!

Yes, that Bushmills single malt is great! I picked up a bottle a couple of months ago, and at first didn't like it. It's not as sweet as Irish Whiskey. Then it grew on me. I still have maybe 1/4 of the bottle left, maybe a little less. I've been enjoying it on climbs at base camp - just a 50 ml dram while I watch the sunset and let it sooth away the stiff and sore muscles and relax the mind for the climb the next day. Right now I'm enjoying a dram of Highland Park 12 year. It's peaty and smoky like all island malts, but not as strong as Laphroaig, Talisker or others. It's got a pleasant sweetness as well. Enjoy your uisce beatha, friend!
