That's gotta be the ignorant statement of the year, or at least the day. There are a lot of obnoxious and a few even criminal trial lawyers out there, but our legal system is built on the idea that the private citizens can bring their issues before a court and there are generally two (sometimes more) distinct sides to any question. Trial lawyers are essential for civil society unless you want to have some centralized top-down structure for the resolution of all disputes and claims. There's nothing ignorant about it at all. We have too many lawyers (vultures) looking to make money first, fuck if it is right or wrong.

funny, i assumed it was going to be about this pix my bro-in-law had recently sent me: if only cheney would dress like this, i could like him more I'll bet you would. sickie

Trial lawyers suck ass.

I thought this was going to be another thread about Dick C. and the Bush admin.

when I read "female-pattern baldness" I think of a landing strip.

You've been studied muslim culture too much. Note to self: do not touch Archie's left hand.

I bought a Cadillac Escalade.

just a cap?

Baseball is great for kids. as for climbing... well, got my 6 year old some shoes and we'll be hitting VW!

I clued Gregg in to this thread. His comments on the "imperfections": "It's true most of the early panos have noticeable imperfections - we are going back to 2000 here, with slides scanned into digital images. Later ones are a lot better, basically due to better software, and better lenses. Although not necessarily more expensive lenses - the used Canon S70 point-and-shoot I bought (eg Vesper) has a great pano lens. A couple of the panos (KoolAid morning, Skyline Divide Sunrise) are indeed certifiably "perfect". They have been accepted by the flickr "Perfect Panoramas" group!"

the Poles call them pierogis. never will forget the day i learned to make the pierogis - was listening to clinton's impeachment preceeding for the hours it took to make damn near a thousand of those tasty bastards! you should be able to make at least 100 in 2 hours... so 1000 would be 20 hours, unless you were amp'd on meth or something

yes. i see it too.

Could someone find my testicles so I can get out and climb something hard? TIA.

Actually, I'd say W sucks and Carter swallows. spitters are always worse so, you dislike Hilary even more?

apparently not come on, what carter is doing is NOT treason. treason is selling nuclear secrets to the bad guys, putting on their uniform, killing your fellow countrymen w/ your own hands, etc. Read the linked article. What he did in N. Korea was treason. Period. The Soviet/Chinese/etc dissidents do not even compare to Carter. Indeed most victims of Commie oppression hardly did anything that can remotely be construed as treasonous. Fuck, look what they did to Shostakovich. Carter deserves getting called a traitor, just as does that fuck McDermott.

I guess I don't have the same question ( I could care less about how Obama lines up with Carter). But I does make me wonder how honest Obama has been in his campaign speak (well he is a politician, so he must not be honest, right). I thought he was campaigning with the "Speak to our enemies" platform, and I thought Hamas was in power because of a democratic process? His statements in this case don't line up. Is the process of voting all that matters, or do the nature of the regime voted into office and the institutional framework it subsequently establishes for governing the country and exercising power over the population who cast the votes factor into the analysis of regimes that come into power via popular elections? it's all about how we "feel" about a candidate. does he/she look like a good guy/gal?

Actually, I'd say W sucks and Carter swallows.

it seems strange that a man who dislikes all-powerful/despotic governments would use a word such monstrosities are so prone themselves to use I hope you teach PE........ still busy reading the commentary article, which is enjoyable in that i don't have an exhaustive knowledge of carter and enjoy hearing different takes on historical characters... still, checked by after page 2 to see how things were developing and feel compelled to issue my first, sincere "fuck you" to you, pete-y. fucking moron. what fucking gym teacher knows what the word "sedition" means? as i've said in the past, using words like "sedition" and "traitor" to describe people you have a difference of opinion on is horse-shit. those words meanings are diluted and destroyed when used for partisan bickering - save them for the times they're appropriate - for the aaron burrs, benedict arnolds and edumund ruffins. carter is trying to destroy the constitution? sell america to the martians? whatever. paranoid asshole. I take back sedition and apply the word treason instead: "Put simply, sedition is the stirring up of rebellion against the government in power. Treason is the violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or state and has to do with giving aid to enemies or levying war. Sedition is more about encouraging the people to rebel, when treason is actually betraying the country." Carter has violated his allegiance to the state as represented by successor administrations, has given aid to our enemies, and betrayed out country. He has undermined democratically elected US administrations and overstepped his authority and bounds. And for what? To repair his failed legacy as the worst president of the 20th century. Well, he's only worsened it.

I think it is obvious to anyone that the article is biased. But it is well-written with copious footnotes and provides a lot of information to think about.
