It was not the main branch of Scouting, but Plast (http://www.plastusa.org/). Secondly, we are talking here about going backpacking with kids. There shouldn't need to be ground rules of the short like "no playing with knives". Period. I'm not gonna spell out a hundred things in advance with people that are common sense.

I like to Thai One On

guilt by association - nothing new.

It must be hilarious when you guys introduce yourselves in realspace as a cc.com'er: "what's your Avatar"? "jay bee" Ohh....

BTW I led a group of 30 or so scouts and parents up to Pilchuck a couple of years ago. No problems whatsoever. And we had no ground rules in advance.

The only rule I see is to take my own car, so if some kids/parents are being jackasses, I can hightail it out of there.

Um, yes. He actually spoke like an adult to other adults. Quite refreshing, actually. And it's only frigging March. A lot of shit can happen between now and Nov. I wasn't being sarcastic actually. It's just that the conservative pundits seem to have unanimously and enthusiastically agreed that Obama "proved" in his speech that he's the anti-Christ. Today, Limbaugh nearly creamed all over the Golden EIB microphone with glee about all the "chaos" he's helped foment with the democrats and how Obama has proven himself a shifty fraud for not totally dissociating himself from the Reverend. They are treating this like it is some huge "GOTCHA!" surprise; on the level of discovering him with a hooker. To be fair, I suppose the propaganda crowd is either really feeling righteous about this topic or they are just desperate to put him away because they fear him. It is also true that a lot can happen between now and November... How many Rush listeners were ever going to vote for either Obama or Hillary in the first place? As far as Ministergate is concerned, pretty much every commentator outside of the far-right commentariat has had generally positive things to say about the way he handled the matter. At the end of the day, he hasn't lost any ground amongst his core voters - who are probably even more enthusiastic about the guy, and he hasn't alienated very many people who were actually on the fence and seriously considering voting for him. All of this concern for what the Right in this country is doing to compromise Democratic chances for securing the White House seems rather odd, given the discord in the party at the moment - and the discontent that nomination-by-superdelegates could sow in the base, particularly if the outcome is at odds with the distribution of delegates sent to the convention by the voters in Democratic primaries. There is some speculation about how this whole flap can hurt Obama in some of his potential voting base, not be easy to overcome, and how this could drag on. But we're talking speculation and fairly subtle effects.

Well, I watched the talking heads, including some well-known republican commentators and they really think the big stink about Obama's minister is much ado about nothing. And I agree. I heard the sound bites that they play over and over and over "God Damn America". Yeah, so? Come to cc.com and you'll hear much worse than that.

But who are "McCain's guys"? Clearly they will not be "Bush's Guys", and it was the latter, more than Bush himself, that has driven our policy. I ask the same question about Obama. Who are "his guys"? Who will steer his policies and guide his administration. Both of them would have to pay back supporters from the campaign. That's obvious. But who would get the choicest positions and the ear of the president? I think there is a good chance for change in improvement from either of them.

Um, yes. He actually spoke like an adult to other adults. Quite refreshing, actually. And it's only frigging March. A lot of shit can happen between now and Nov.

I don't know. He was looking damn good in his response to the attacks regarding his minister.

Actually, most climbers are concerned about the environment and are quite opposed to heavy metal. Although, hypocritically, they use a lot of heavy metals to power their devices. Nickel-Metal Hydrides for example.

You're out of your mind. Period.

Prole has a final solution to the Jewish Israeli problem.

More lies.

Oh the irony, the irony!

liquor up front; poker in the rear.

I have a pretty little pic of her but was yanked off the site..... was she flashing?

Set ground rules? You mean like "let's agree that our kids will not wave knives at eachother", or "let's agree that our kids will not give eachother stitches"? Give me a break. That should be 100% self-explanatory.

Are you fuhq'n kiddin' me?? Female vocalists that I enjoy listening to: Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) Sequentia (early music) Anonymous 4 (early music) Cambridge Singers (the altos and sopranos) Kathleen Battle (opera) Cecelia Bartolli (opera) Michelle Shocked Jann Arden Sarah McLachlan Loreena McKennitt Shawn Colvin Enya, and sister Ma'ire Brennan (Clannad) The Rankin Family Shania Twain (and I don't even like country music, but hey, it's Shania...) Laurie Anderson (performance artist extraordinnaire) and who could forget Pat Benetar? Jeebus! I could go on ana on and on and on... You forgot your absolute fav- Celine. I was always partial to Joan Jett - dirty skank rocker chick = hot.

If any of that shit happened to me, we'd leave immediately... well, after I tore the parents a new one. If my kids did any of that shit, they'd get a serious punishment.

as if we didn't know you'd vote for Iosif Vissarionovich, if you could.

Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time So I send this song to the offended I said what I meant and I've never pretended As so many others do intending just to please If I damned your point of view Could you turn the other cheek But don't damn me When I speak a piece of my mind 'Cause silence isn't golden When I'm holding it inside

Dude! WTF!?!?!?!??!? That is the story from hell.
