This winter is going to suck. I hate to be negative but I can feel it. I'm planning on working a lot.

Hmm. The next time I'm thinking of skiing while sleep walking I'll head down to OR.

Post the pictures Laura.

I'm a little disapointed that none of you righty guys wants to lecture me about how misunderstood Nixon was.

Sorry Lawgodess, only a few of us can be Tippy Turtles. We're even more exclusive than the KTK.

Pagetop. Pub Club was pretty dam fun. It was really nice to see so many Tippy Turtles there!!! [ 11-20-2002, 07:14 AM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

What is Ted running for? Mayor of Detroit?

quote: Originally posted by Son of Caveman: Kurt, Nixon made some mistakes but isn't in the same league as Clinton. Clinton is a goddamned psychotic megalomaniac. Nixon could have recieved a number of felony convictions if he didn't have Ford to pardon him. Breaking into the DNC office, his enemy list, covering up Watergate, etc. I think Nixon beats Clinton hands down when it comes to psychotic megalomaniacs.

quote: Originally posted by Son of Caveman: Phuck Fairweather, almost forgot about those. I'm sure a massive list could be compiled if we really thought about it. Worst President ever = Slick Willy Don't be so bitter. I can come up with worse like Nixon for example.

Fuck yeah!!! Monorail!!

No thanks, I like girls

Fence Sitter likes to get felt up in the center of the scrum.

Fairweather, That is a good question. I dont know as of now but I think it is in the negotiation phrase. I looked at Matts question as a general one, so touche on the point of it being more specific. I do like a good public debate on taxes, so thanks for jumping in. One thing I did notice is that your point becomes lost when attacking a person or using demagoguery to rationalize the stance, I'm not saying your the only one but it is tough to get past this. I am surprised that a lot of people will argue, dont tax them, when they do not examine the other side of the coin, which would be like saying:"tax us more, not them" and I do believe that there is waste in government, but there is also waste in the private sector. One difference is the private sector is looking for profit and government cant, and different rules apply. TTT TTT, Alpine K has called me a "Jesus Freak"(not sure why), a "Mother Fucker" and once threatened to rob my house. Forgive me if I don't feel compelled to grant him a civil debate.[/QB] I'm not looking for a totally civil debate. You do seam to lack a sense of humor though. In real life I would never rob your house, or any house. I thought I would test you about being a Jesus Freak due to some comments you made about the first amendment. As to Motherfucker well you are, but so am I. Try and relax. [ 11-18-2002, 08:48 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

Socialist me hahaha. I run a small business you idiot. If I have to pay taxes I want everyone else to feel the same pain I do. Getting back to car tabs if everyone spends $30 then thats a regressive tax. If you can afford to buy a Hummer then you can afford to spend more for car tabs. I should say I thought the old fees for tabs were too high, but I'm not into the $30 thing.

quote: Originally posted by Winter: quote:Originally posted by Fairweather: In raw dollars, the wealthy still pay the vast share of local revenues. How the hell is the government supposed to work? So we make sure the wealthy are not paying the "vast share" of tax dollars on a local level. So the 1% of Americans that control the 60% of wealth in this country (or whatever those figures are) have to pay less than 60% of the taxes? How is that fair? Lets think about this. If a latte costs $3 and person A has $10 and person B has $100 who is more likely to buy the latte. Isn't $3 a lot harder to come up with if you only have $10 to your name.

You sure make a lot of assumtions Fairweather. Matt lives in Renton. Also, while Matt may have picked one park to talk about, he is generalizing based on his experience. I believe if you followed the news you would learn that a number of parks are closed due to lack of funding. You seem to have a hard time getting past your assumptions.

Led zep sucks yet rules at the same time.
