  1. The statementis no more true for blacks than any other grouping you could think of. If you abort all the whate babies you also would get a reduction in the crime rate. Furthermore it is still racist even if true.
  2. He could have said If you abort every baby in the country the crime rate would go down and it would make the same point without the racist subtext.
  3. In the 1930's FDR did try to pack the court BUT he was defeated in congress which his party controlled by more than 2/3d's. It is true that he appointedDouglas bu Ike appointed Warren and Truman Black (hint he was conservative) The first attempt to pack the Court was by Nixon with Hanswoerth and Carswell who were defeated by a Democratic Senate but we endedup with Burger and Reinquest instead. Reagans appointments were not particularly idelogical nor were Carters, Fords, or Clintons (GOP controled Senate then). Bush I gave us Scalia and Thomas who were although neither said so at their hearings. I can pretty much guarentee that Roberts will be just as reactionary, which is different from conservative (conservatives want to keep things the way they are reactionaries want to take things back).
  4. There was a time when Supreme Court Justices were selected for their knowledge, experience and temperment. If that were the situation now I would not have a problem with going along with the presidents choices. Now, however, the emphasis seems to be on installing as young a Justice as possible with the presidents idelogical bent in order to influence future decisions. This is a legitmate exercise of presidential power but it does not follow that those with different ideoligies should defer. When a justice is selected for their biases and positions on cases sure to be determined by the Court it should be permissable to object on those same grounds by filibuster or similar means. There are thousands of attorneys and judges who make decisions based on law without an idelogical agenda and each of these would recive wide support in the Senate. When decisions are made on the basis of ideolgy the result will be division lawbreaking.

  6. The only reason the fundies do not attack quantum theory is because they cannot understand it. It is far more subversive to their beliefs than evolution.
  7. It is best to use denatured ethanol rather than methanol as methanol disolves aluminium and makes formaldahde when in contact with hot copper, denatured is ethanol with a bit of methanol so you can't drink it (unless you want a career of blind mans bluff and like dogs). It is the suff from home despot and WM.
  8. No trail or road to Kennedy if you can get there bare ice and choss.
  9. Did you go through a guide service? Do you have any reccommendations? Thanks. We did not go through a guide service but had ran into a Sherpa Neima Tenzing who has one at REI (he is mentioned in Everest the West Ridge and knw RFK Unsold and big Jim) and brought him some thermous water bottles. He refered us to a guide who hired a few porters (they later ran off at night). We did not have a permit for the peak but things were pretty loose outside the towns.

    Prayer

    Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone I hear you call my name And it feels like home When you call my name it's like a little prayer I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing I have no choice, I hear your voice Feels like flying I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling Out of the sky, I close my eyes Heaven help me When you call my name it's like a little prayer I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there Like a child you whisper softly to me You're in control just like a child Now I'm dancing It's like a dream, no end and no beginning You're here with me, it's like a dream Let the choir sing When you call my name it's like a little prayer I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery Just like a dream, you are not what you seem Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there Just like a prayer, I'll take you there It's like a dream to me
  14. You can move on now, nothing to see here. You do not have to worry now, the media has shifted to how happy all those darkies are now that they are in the Astrodome. I saw it on the Today show this mkorning, Katie was interviewing them and seeing what lucky duckies they as. Matt was giving Hillary a hard time for daring to question our beloved leader. Things are back to normal.

    Saw the flood coming

    Here is some real action we will see: In the same speech, the president noted that Trent Lott's oceanfront home in Pascagoula, Miss., had been destroyed, and he promised that it -- like all of the Gulf Coast -- will be built again better than it was before. "There's going to be a fantastic house," Bush said, "and I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch.

    The Port of New Orleans is the largest one in North America and 4th in the world It is the primary shipment point for oil in North America. It will be rebuilt. You cannot locate a port inland.

    Nice to see that the aid just arrived in time for his arrival. Do you think they held up the food until he was coming or vice versa?

    Netherlands knows how to handle it like they have been for hundreds of years, in any event they can fo to a cafe and light up a bowl. In NO there is really no alternative but to loot if you want to eat as all the stores are closed.

  22. Horses are aid!
  23. Basic rule of antennas is the bigger they are the more signal they catch, so long as properly designed.
  24. It depends on the trail. The new middle fork trail has been upgraded to horsie specs and is like a small road now NTB use could not hurt it more. What frosts me is that places like the Redmond Watershed and Cougar Mountain trails are open to horses but not bikes. I some dork galloping a horse down cavehole one time that would have killed anyone running or walking there, bikes have a lot more control. Bikes used to be allowed under the wilderness act. I think the real effect would be to prohibit horses from unsuitable areas.
  25. He published ones of the Glacier Peak and Monte Cristo Areas about that time under that title, showed some routes and old tails but were pretty unreliable.
