  1. Civil disobedience, which is by nature completely passive, hardly constitutes 'force'. Come fucking on. We're talking about misdemeanors here. And history has proven over and over again that minorities who engage in protest involving civil disobedience DO win the day in the end if the public sentiment is with them. I would say at this point that the public sentiment is overwhelmingly against this war by any measure. Rest assured that even citizen's who may disagree with the effectiveness of specific tactics employed in Olympia are glad that someone is getting off their ass and trying to do SOMETHING substantive to stop this war. You, of course, support the war and therefore are not in that category. There is a part of the many of the rest of us who do not that do applaud the personal sacrifice and risk taken by these protesters to stand up for what they think is right. You are also conveniently skipping over the fact that the rule of law was shat upon to get this war started, unless of course you condone a President lying to the American people about a threat to national security. Two wrongs may not make a right, but the first wrong far outshines the most recent minor infractions committed in Olympia in terms of the damage done to this country. As usual, your Weathermen example is well off the mark. While their members got started in the Civil Rights movement (disagree with that one, do we?) and the Anti War Movement, they were not an anti war group; they advocated the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. That, in itself, is a crime, so no support there from these quarters. Do your homework, grasshopper: Weathermen
  2. To be a hard man alpinist or fun-in-the-sun sporto? That is the question. During one of his rare silences, Ivan quietly promised me that one day we'd all drink whiskey and smoke your cigarettes together. Now you're both lying assed bitches.
  3. Yeah, some reviews of the Yaktraks indicated they break pretty easily. The Yaktaks are lighter and cheaper, though. We'll see about these. Unlike the Yaktraks, the bottom is all metal, so it seems like they should last a bit longer. I saw a guy running down a really ice trail on Si with them, so I decided to pick up a pair. I've got a pair of Tubbs 10K racing snowshoes. Nice and light, but I used them for everything and now they're blowing out pretty badly. I just ordered a pair of MSR Lightnings for backcountry stuff. I might try repairing the 10Ks and keep them for trail use.
  4. Aggressive. Aroused. Airborne.
  5. I think he means the mathematical definition.
  6. Shoot. Won't be able to catch the Grinch. Gotta go to a funeral.
  7. Now THAT was funny.
  8. Decent prices. Just picked up snowshoes and a Montbell down sweater. Free shipping.

  10. Does the state have a compelling interest in restricting a man's right to give birth to an ass baby?
  11. Very true. Big red state.
  12. Why don't they just put the shiite outside? It's fucking nippy enough up dere, eh?
  13. A woman's fundamental right to an abortion, as decided by Roe v. Wade, requires no consent from her husband or partner. This is not an abortion case, because the state did not attempt to violate this right. Roe v. Wade ruled that the 14th amendment does not grant personhood to the unborn. The court did recognize, however, that the states do have two legitimate interests: to protect the health and well being of the mother and to protect the unborn. A woman's right to privacy, implicit in the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment, the court argued, must be weighed against these two state interests. It finally settled on a compromise solution: States cannot restrict abortions in the 1st trimester. States may, with compelling reason, place some restrictions on abortions in the 2nd trimester. States may prohibit abortions in the 3rd trimester. In this case, the man commited a form of assault against both the woman and her unborn child, risking or destroying their health. Since the Supreme Court upheld the State's legitimate interest in protecting these two things, and since the state did not attempt to restrict the woman's fundamental right to an abortion, it seems like a cut and dry case whereby the state's prohibition against fetal suicide was violated, with no legal ramifications for Roe v. Wade.

    Going this weekend, bitches.
  15. What weight exercizes have people found that isolate a muscle groups most effectively? My sets include the following. Am I missing anything? leg curls leg lifts chin ups (don't have a lat pull) crunches (lower and upper) bench press fly military press lat raises (arms hanging to straight out) tri extensions (flat on back, arms 90 to straight up) tri kickbacks Kneeling row dips curls roll ups (weight on a line thing) grip exerciser

    Kevbone, in one of his daily stalker PMs, described you more as a cross dressing transexual gay man trapped in a hermaphrodite's body. In any case, the breast hormones appear to be working.
  19. Yeah, this is a reincarnation of the infamous TIPS program, where the government wanted anyone with access to your property: mailmen, meter readers, the UPS man, to report the same kind of bullshit. TIPS was massacred by a successful campaign (lead by but not exclusive to the ACLU), but these 'projects' never seem to fully die. After the failure of TIPS, the government most likely hired a PR firm to figure out how to implement something prettier and shinier for public consumption. Enter the Firemen: Heroes of 911!

    pics? Stale, I know, but someone had to do it.
  21. Given that I only do one set till burn, what's the upside/downside of working the same muscle group 3 times a week instead of only 2? I've read 48 to 72 hour recovery time minimum, so I went with 48, with a 72 hour rest once a week.
  22. Thank you.
  23. Isn't there a law against cruelty to white people?

    I've just come to the sobering realization of what a complete and utter nightmare a lesbian relationship must be. It seems like so much work for so little joy. To any couple who can actually make that work: Cheers!
