Specialed?

The first Civil Rights act was pushed and passed by the Republican party. Assuming you mean the civil rights act of 1866, you really believe Lincoln's Republican party is the same as bush's political party?

Good question. What are the base lines for these so called "levels"?

I don't think the sport/doping thing is going to be reconciled in our lifetimes and certainly not in this forum so I have nothing to add. On a side note though I think this flippant attitude toward his fight against cancer and what it did to his body is petty. What is your experience with cancer dru? And why are you so angry?

I wonder if our children have the same opinion about this? Adults can get over a loss, children suffer a little more I'd say. That's a good question. Climbing is something I do for myself so I guess, by definition, that makes it selfish. If children are part of my life, I'm no longer just risking life and limb but part of my children's support network, and all that entails, as well. Hmm. Kinda makes all the risk assessment and evaluation a little more complicated.

Agreed. Jim really helped me with a pair of boots that turned out to not fit as great as I thought when I was in the store.

Seconded

I was told this was the blonde joke to end all blonde jokes. I'll leave that for this forum to decide. One day a blonde was speeding down the highway in her sports car when she was pulled over by a state patrol officer who also happened to be blonde. state patrol: May I see your driver's license please? blonde: (digging through her purse) I can't seem to find it...what does it look like? state patrol: You know what it looks like...it's sort of rectangular with your picture on it. The blonde while looking in her purse for her license comes across a small make-up mirror. blonde: I found it! Here's my license officer! state patrol: (looking at the mirror) Oh! You should've told me you were a cop! You have a nice day and drive safely.

Was this some sort of penance for "insulting" the mazamas on Shucksan back in May?

I think you could make an argument that when we inhibit the process of natural selection we weaken the species.
