Does everyone see the irony of the Sox wearing those green hats. That could be the most fitting symbol of this season. Especially after they win the Division

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 14, 2006 -> 06:23 AM) The morning shuffle: Salisbury Hill - Peter Gabriel (that came up for someone before too!) Of course the version that shuffled up on mine was about a Christian religious experience, not some alien encounter that happened on yours Marley - I Can See Clearly Now Croce - Photographs and Memories Kansas - Dust in the Wind Fleetwood Mac - You Make Loving Fun Marshall Tucker Band - Fire on the Mountain Corrs - All the Love in the World Tracey Chapman - Fast Cars Kings of Convienence - I'd Rather Dance with You John Rooney - 2005_World_Series_Call Joan Hammel - Still the One Two songs later this came up Gleason - World You and I

Jay could have said it was great that Hawk said that, and the same people would be saying Jay's an idiot. It doesn't matter what Mariotti says, it is a Sox fans blind obsession to call him a fool. I like tha tradition of not talking about it when done well. Done poorly, it comes off like goofy 13-year olds talking about s-e-x

Bunnies are the coolest pets.

Sound cards can be tricky based on your computer system. Make certain you have an open slot for one. QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers. You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers. Don't you know about the record business, honey You gotta be trendy if you wanna make some money Now everybody's sayin' that he sure sounds funny But it's still Billy Joel to me

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) PS: I got my Vicodin tonight. It hasn't done s-it for me, and I took it about an hour ago. That's all right, though. That's why I have a set of testicles and vocal cords: to take the pain with a "fu-k!" Even though that, ah, doesn't sound right. Maybe you received faulty Vicodin, why don't you send them to me and I'll check them out for you.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 07:32 PM) Yup. I might be an asshole because of that but oh well, that's exactly how I felt. I figure I'm already on long black train to hell . . .

^^^^^^^^^^^^ OMG that hurts!

How can this not make anyone here smile Link

This is addicting, Eagles - One of the Nights Heart - Magic Man Blues Brothers - Sweet Home Chicago Gary Allen - Man to Man Arlo Guthrie - Coming into Los Angeles Steely Dan - My Old School Eagles - Witchy Woman Elvis Costello - Burt Bacharach - What the World Needs Now The Wallflowers - One Headlight Ronstadt/Neville - I Don't Know Much Does anyone else hold their breath hoping something really stupid doesn't come up? I like this ten and it represents pretty much what is on my iTunes.

As much as I would like to say the politically correct thing, it's sad a great talent, blah blah blah. I really don't care. When I saw that on ESPN, I said YEAH! I hope he returns next season and wins 30, for a NL team.

Glad to hear no one was hurt

QUOTE(Soxy @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) I guess I was thinking more of students doing the shooting. I don't know which is worse. . . adults targeting kids or kids targeting kids.

I would love to hear a show that actually treats all opinions with respect and will fairly discuss issue from both sides. I'd be about the only one listening, everyone else would be screaming too biased towards the other side, but I can dream. Who d you believe has the most neutral, even handed show?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) I don't disagree with any of that. But per the current laws, its all OK. Write you Congressman. And both Senators. Kay has an automatic reposnder to my emails, it basically says thanks for writing but your a liberal idiot, I do like her.

Read the attachment. Here is the bottom line. He was never convicted of any crime in connection to the money. The government now has his money. He's innocent and out $124,000 I can't see how that can be correct. I understand this is very analogous to OJ being found not guilty in criminal court and guilty in civil court. But it seems dangerous and gives the government powers I don't like them having. In other cases, there were drugs found or a scent that humans could smell. I'm not claiming that the government's theory that this was drug money isn't correct, I think it is. But, I believe in our laws and constitution and do not believe the government should be allowed to seize property in this manner. The only evidence of a link to drugs was the amount itself.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 01:33 PM) Classy. I don't think that the MAJORITY of people believe it is. IIRC the most deadly school shooting was in Europe (Germany or Scotland, I think). Prayers and warm thoughts to one of my favorite cities. Wasn't it the one in Russia with the terrorists? I remember reading an account in Esquire. Very sad. It was on my birthday.

This is the problematic part. If you are carrying large sums of cash, you are automatically considered a drug dealer. That is the result of this ruling. Sometimes logical actions in one case have unintended consequences. My understanding from one of the articles was he was never charged. I thought he could be transported to the station without being arrested?

He wasn't arrested, they seized the money while they investigated. In your example, you have someone who confesses to something illegal. This man didn't confess to something legal. There is a difference. What this ruling does is allow the police to confiscate the property of anyone who cares large sums of cash.

What did he do that was illegal that would cause the government to seize his property? He lied about something that was legal, carrying cash. He lied when he said he wasn't convicted of a crime. He believed a DUI wasn't a crime. There was a scent of drugs on his money (see my post above, we're all guilty there) There was a scent of drugs in a rental car. No residue. Just a scent in a rental car. There is a difference between arresting him and seizing his property. I believe they went too far in seizing his property. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 11:21 AM) We are talking about an arrest here, not a conviction. The entire concept of Innocent until proven Guilty resides with the courts, where guilt and innocence is determined. On the street, its probable cause, and there was plenty of that to be had in this case. We are talking about seizing his property, not the arrest.

I guess I'm not ready to give up on innocent until proven guilty. BTW, he had an explaination.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 10:53 AM) Of all the folks caught carrying large sums of cash... I would bet high that most of them are breaking the law in some way, shape, or form. I would agree. But should that be enough to have the government seize their property until they can prove themselves innocent?
