I trust the oil companies in all environmental issues. I am certain thay are looking out for our best interests. After all, they live on the planet also, and wouldn't put personal profit ahead of protecting our environment for future generations. Would they? of course they would, and would spend what it took to keep business as usual.

QUOTE(IggyD @ May 25, 2006 -> 10:35 PM) I am moving to Libertarian...Back to Constitional Rule...WE THE PEOPLE...no more free money to any country...lower taxes...all our Military returns home to protect this great Country and they can spend all Holidays with their families...No Income tax on laborers..only on Big Corporate ....that is how it was until 1913... See The Lawsuit To Restore Constitutional Order they had hearing today which is currently under appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals in DC and have gotten decisions against the IRS in our favor already...I am still waiting to hear what happened today. Here is a quick little video of the IRS not being able to answer.."Is there a law that requires you to pay Income Tax" and they could not do it!!! The country needs money to run the government, income tax is the best method. Take the tin foil off your head.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:31 AM) No, it wouldn't. The Minutemen are on private property, where the borders are well marked, Evil, the border is not well marked except for in cities. Out across the deserts and other areas, it is impossible to tell. I have camped along many border areas, and once the Rio Grande swings north, there is no line in the sand. There are thousand of miles, can you tell the exact border between Illinois and Wisconsin in the woods? A couple of links Tunnel Mexican Drug Forces There was one instance a couple years back when US forces accidentaly entered into Mexico while on Patrol. Both sides tried to arrest the other. Usually our side, using GPS, has managed to always be on the correct side, but occassionaly we have strayed as well. QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:31 AM) No, it wouldn't.

I'm a believer, but one thing that Detroit hasn't been is pennant closing tested. Experience will be a factor, and like Cleveland last year, Detroit will finish second, and possibly pick up a wildcard.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 27, 2006 -> 04:33 PM) It's very odd for me to talk on my house phone now a days. Two months ago our house phone rang and we all looked at each other and asked whose phone is that? The next day I cancelled my home phone and went all-cellular, all the time.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) Funny that this comes out about the same time as the Enron verdicts. One step forward, two steps back. http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflas...opStories_ssi_5 I don't have a problem with Bush officially delegating this as long as he's willing to accept responsibility as well. You can delegate authority, you cannot delegate responsibility. It will also be public record which companies are exempted, and I am certain there will be some excellent digging by the liberal media, which should go a long ways to protect our interests.

I was looking for an un-official band of Laguna Station, the Boy Scout Camp I manage on South Padre Island. Found them! Dread Zeppelin, who can resist a reggae band that plays Led Zepplin covers with a lead singer that thinks he's Elvis Presley

1996 was one of the worse in Everest history and many books were written. There was a huge examination and blame tossed around and behaviors examined. One of the amazing stories involved Beck Wethers who was left for dead a couple times and survived. His rescue was the highest recorded flight by a helicopter. He is an amazing speaker and it is a great story. A great read is Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. The Nepal government issues permits for climbing Everest. The permits are given to guides who charge big bucks to guide people up the mountain. They build as close to a road as possible to get people up and down, but it is still a dangerous game.

I spent last week in that area, I was out in Hunt, Texas. I've made the drive out there a number of times and it is so straight, flat, and beautiful. 'Cause remember, God blessed Texas with his own hand . . .

QUOTE(soxman352000 @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:52 AM) Exactly, this is our country. We elected our congressman to decide on how policies would affect the United States. I could give a flying f*** what Fox thinks. The fact that he is being critical of our country is a joke. He should worry about his own country. High unemployment, massive poverty, and a population that is out of control. He's just another corrupt pawn in that mess they call a governemt in Mexico The United States is Mexico's closest ally. Tourism from the US is huge part of their economy. Maquillas, many owned by American corporations, are a big industry. Mexico exports a huge portion of their oil and gas to the US. Mexicans are migrating in huge numbers to the US. And Fox shouldn't be interested, concerned, and involved in American politics? The US is #1 in trying to solve the world's problems. Fox may be speaking out, but in reverse we would be sending in the CIA, and really getting after it. I think we can stand a little rhetoric from the President of Mexico.

YAS, great thread idea.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 25, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) What has AJ ever done in the past to warrant a short leash? The guy has never had anger issues or any problems with the league office. Just because the man is an irritant to opponents does not mean he should serve a suspension for doing absolutely nothing. If you really want someone to have a short leesh you should take a look at Barrett who has had serious anger issues in the past. It's bulls*** that people continue to bring up AJ's "past" as a reason why he should serve a suspension when he's never had any issues that are relevant to this incident. I should have been clearer, I don't believe AJ's behavior should, but in general, I believe the league should look at history in determining suspensions. If that means any Sox player receives an extra something, I'd have to agree with it, because I damn sure would argue the reverse.

QUOTE(samclemens @ May 25, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) im afraid you are wrong. i mean the current mexican government and the administration in place at the time. are you honestly going to deny that vincente fox is trying to keep the border porous? You've called him dishonest and corrupt several times and I don't believe that to be the case, and what is even funnier is, Fox is the first Conservative elected in Mexico nationally in decades. PAN, Fox's party, is the Christian, conservative party which ousted the liberal PRI party. PRI had absolute power for a very long time and corruption was a way of life.

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:02 PM) I can't stand the little b****, but I enjoy reading his column. ^^^^^ I'm thick skinned enough to read his column. Sometimes he's so right it hurts, other times he's an idiot. About the same as every poster here.

Past behavior should be part of the equation and if that means AJ had a shorter leash, then I would be a hypocrit for disagreeing.

Happy Birthday!!

It's OK for the school to have school sanctioned rally's for their football team and force the school to cheer the players, but not say a prayer?!

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2006 -> 11:31 AM) Sorry for their luck. How many others escaped prosecution? I hope this stops anyone else from screwing stockholders and employees.

may the God of your choice, watch over your mother and help her to a speedy recovery.

They were the poster boys for reform. Ten years, hell five years earlier, and they would have received a slap on the wrist.
