Let's assume your stats below are accurate and defensible. Do you think "likelihood of arrest" itself is indicative of discrimination? Could an increase in likelihood of arrest simply be indicative of a higher rate of engagement in illegal activity? What do you think leads to this statistic? Same question as above. Your assertion being that cops are out to get black folk?

cool. i will begin necessary preparations for an attempt to commence perhaps any time now.

it looks like a v2 to a good rest. then it breaks left into what looks to be v5 or v6 to a good hanging jug. then cruiser to top. and that equation equals 5.12c/d!

Don't know, but the sign says RCW 77.15.435 So you either type, read or see poorly I got the RCW directly from the OP. Somehow you missed that, I suppose.

RCW 9A.52.080 or RCW 77.5.435 First one is Criminal Tresspass in the 2nd degree. second one I can't find. Anyone know what RCW 77.5.435 is?

Yep, Little Si gets crowded, unless you can get out there mid-day during the week. Equinox unfortunately has access issues. This was kinda the crag for your grades. Nason Ridge has 1 5.13, and a couple of 5.12's, but is 2 hours away. Vantage actually has fun climbs in your range. at least one of each at 12c, 13a, 13b, and 13c or d, all pretty bouldery. Again, two hours away. Newhalem is loaded in that range. And? Two hours away! Little Si is your best bet, if your time is limited.

Are we to assume that 5.12 and 5.13 is easy for you? When is the last time you redpointed 5.13?

This one is particularly obnoxious--especially for a guy with only 17 posts. What's kinda funny is that if you only had 17 posts, you'd be way less obnoxious. I'll be eagerly looking for your "happy posts" on all the other forums!

yeah, and they also called for gmo labeling. go figure.

i'm still waiting for you to reveal what jimmy did wrong on the economy.

Maybe this is part of the reason he's now the lame duck mayor? FWIW, I can't wait until the new mayor fires that $95,000/year bike czar pizza delivery guy. Also, gotta love the way bicyclists always want someone else to pay for their privilege. Property taxes? Hell no! good lord you whine. why don't you list five things in your life that you are happy about. I'll even set up the numbers for you so it's easy: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

on the streets of seattle! people i know who ride fixies in seattle like the challenge.

I have never heard of a derailleur "icing up". Ever. Fixies are a fad; what isn't?

What dross! Countless studies have shown that through ww2 ~80% of soldiers refused to kill the enemy. Only after thoroughly dehumanizing desensitization training programs were introduced has this ratio changed. manufacturing contempt sure, many might think his posts dross, but i hardly think this particular one necessarily contradicts your (appreciated) link.

heh, a funny cynical bastard to be sure, although a little overly mired in his own cynicism for my tastes

i guess both the mountaineer and the soldier ARE both in a given situation by choice, right? in service for their country heh. (ah the archaic language of heroism: amusing if it weren't so dangerously appealing to humanoids.)

yes yes, we should leave it to presidents and other such leaders instead. ha! you might also point out that taking a frenchman's advice on how to make war is like taking a catholic priest's advice on how to babysit little boys. point being: barbaric acts (declarations of war) cloaked in the finery of nationalistic jingoism are utterly more reprehensible than the naked aggression released by soldiers in the service of said wars. One makes the other possible.

a fine illustration of clemenceau's observation that "war is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers." yes yes, we should leave it to presidents and other such leaders instead.

i've talked to peeps who have climbed there, and tried to find it myself: no luck. is it decent and how many routes in the 11 12 and 13 range?

meh, i think you'd have to believe that the afghani adventure would be going swimmingly, if it weren't for that pesky internet. history proves otherwise. in this case the affair, i believe, was sunk before it began.

hey M, old skool lace-ups. Loved 'em but too tight. Pointy toe good for smith pockets.

it's not irrelevant if one is oncerned with understanding a situation beyond knee-jerkism. even if i agreed, what is the point of your point? meaning: "ok and then what?"

btw, located in seattle. and subject to "obo" of course! But I must warn all, the bids are coming on fast.
