Damn, Fights over people, get to class . . .

My prayers are with everyone connected. When I was in HS my girlfriend's neighbor, 12 years old, placed a family handgun to his head, and ended his own life. I will remember to this day the pain both parents felt. The mom was heaping the guilt on the father who bought the gun over the mom's objection. His sister was blaming herself because he said he was going to do it and she didn't believe him. Later it came out that he called three "friends" who all told him to go ahead. He had threatened this before and they were tired of his threats. He released himself from his pain, multiplied it 100 fold and heaped it on everyone else. It is a cowardly, selfish thing to do.

I searched also. It is a shame we do not have access to such a wonderful bit of Cub history.

You two just padding your post totals or will you be ripping off each others clothes soon? Be nice. We're all friends here.

No they cannot. At least a few more. He's got too many tools to give up on. But he's getting close.

Remember how much fun a HS girl fight was? Not towards any two posters in particular who share a certain bond.

Basically, Bonds has squandered whatever good he could have had on whatever causes he chose.

Connecticut governor to resign

According to an up to the minute report, the craft briefly entered space. Making it the first private ship to reach space.

0 for two months and you kept pace with me.

Represent? No. Influences? Yes. You are correct, there are a hell of a lot more people that care what Bonds says. Witness all the people who are talking about his comments. With popularity, credibility, power, or influence, comes responsibility. Dr. King was not an elected representitive. Do you think he just shot out whatever he felt like saying? That would diminish his message. Nadar hasn't been elected to anything, yet his words have impact. There are many examples of people who have influence without direct power. I'm not agreeing with or disagreeing with what Bonds said. I am only making the point that professional ballplayers are ambassadors for their teams and their cities. That may not be constitutional, it may not be correct, but that's reality. People listen when they speak. They need to weigh their words and be mindful of the consequences. When Bonds can say something and someone cares as much as when Steff or Texsox tells somebody, than it's the same. Until then he's a public figure and needs to accept that responsibility.

Why should Bond care? Because he is in a position to help change. His words will be listened to and analysed from both sides, something that others cannot say. Would you agree that Mayor Daley or President Bush have to be more guarded in what they say?

With freedom if speech comes responsibility. That responsibility changes based on your position in the community. Bonds needs to weigh his comments based on the stage they are broadcast from.

Brandofans next post will be his 7,000

I'm afraid you are correct. I was also thinking about how happy the Marlin's fans were in getting Koch. We would be happy with the starter equivelent of Koch at this point.

As I was updating the PTC winners and looking over the YNOT standings I realize some active posters here do not play. The more the merrier. I just thought I would send a little direction that way. Also, why is it that only a few people seem to start most of the topics? Do not be shy, fire up a couple topics, let's keep the site moving and fresh.

Up up and away Maybe now we can once and for all disprove the whole earth is round thing that the government has been selling us

Sounds like Kerry is putting his money where his mouth is. It is looking to eliminate benefits that he receives. Takes away the old GOP cliche of the poor taking from the rich. This would be the rich taking away from the rich.

It is nice to know that the platform has such a small user base that hackers and virus writers won't bother with it. Worry when more people decide to buy a Mac and someone decided to write the first Mac Attack.

Can you add Leon Durham looking between his legs

Which is why I think it is good bringing up Rauch well before a start. Let him get comfortable, meet the teammates, and feel like he's a part of the team, not some temp worker from Kelly.
