Sure, it could be a good source of revenue but sales taxes aren't the way to a sustainable revenue scheme. In fact, decreasing sales taxes concurrently with creating a state income tax on higher income would be my preferred solution. I don't think we should tax the rich. We should just take their money instead. Al at once. 1 million, they can keep. Everything else is taken. And given to me!!!!!!!

maybe the fed can start selling gay weed. To make monies. It's all about that dolla'. I wish we could remove collective bargaining for ALL unions. Bunch of lazy pikers.

j_b, what do you have against legalizing gay weed for jesus?

Bill Gates controls the state?

I wouldn't. Women don't belong in politics.

O-sucks? I think the current moniker is O-bomba.

I love the republican's strategy. Cut pensions, public school funds, public healthcare and social services to pay for stealth bombers and tax cuts for the rich. Fucking bastards. Thieves, that's all they are.

He wasn't referring to the girth hitch, he was referring to the rubberband next to the biner on the girth hitched sling.

technically, not the fastest way down. The fastest way down is not advised.

I hearby announce my candidacy for the office the President of the United States. I will be running on the clownpuncher ticket.

This is unacceptable. I will definitely not be renewing my family's season pass next year.

Cracking/delaminating clay pots is pretty common in the winter. They are porous, and water gets into them and you get freeze/thaw. Whether the crack or not depends a lot on local conditions, especially what's IN the pot. Empty pots do a lot better. Did you recently water them before this happened? When I was a kid, my mother made me winterize all her clay pots by transferring the plants out of them, cleaning them out, and wrapping them in bubblewrap to keep moisture out. They're OK to freeze, as long as they're not wet.

it cracks me up. "WAAAH! Obama isn't doing anything about Libya!! WAAAH" and then, "WAAAH! Obama shouldn't be in Libya! WAAAH!" So transparent. I fucking hate politicians.

If it's early season, you can descend the couloir just climbers left of the summit. It's a long downclimb, but faster.

I care. Even if I disagree most of the time with the Dawg...I respect the fact that he sticks to his guns. No matter what. Keep it up raindawg....even if you are wrong! Bush "stuck to his guns" too. Chopping an old stump next to the freeway equals cutting down the entire forest around index? I'm pretty sure at this point he's just trolling us.

well played, sir.

I'm not sure what exactly this means?

Yeah, we wouldn't want to ruin the hardcore reputation of bouldering next to the freeway by softening the landings. That shit is CORE! They should add some stumps to vertical world, too, to make it more exxxxxxxxtreme

Huh? Cutting a dead stump next to a freeway equals clearcutting wilderness and spoiling climbing locations for our future generations? Cutting an old stump out from the landing is the same as bolting an aluminum ladder? LOL! How much cleaning do you think has gone on at Index? You're funny. HOLY SHIT, someone's been smoking some good shit. There is some serious logic chaining there....cutting a stump next to a freeway = logging = raping wilderness = no more climbing for our children = bolting. Well done! I guess you don't believe in scrubbing climbing routes, right? Hey, all that moss is indigenous. Why should we devegetate the rock just to climb it? You scrub that moss off, and next thing you know, WIDESPREAD LOGGING AND BOLTING!!!! OMG!

Doesnt' matter, anyway. With a soft climbing boot in there, it's anyone's guess when it will release.

well, it's only austerity for the poor and middle class. The wealthy are living it up.

Dude, everything is a crusade with you. Cutting out an old stump a stone's throw from a freeway equals "drilling permanent installations at will whenever or wherever"??? LOL Jesus Christ, now I want to cut out the stump just to spite you.

I thought my forensics pretty much established it was blasted off. Re-read the thread. [edit] Oh, and cut out the stump.

pillow biters?
