Tom? he's pretty honest about his libertarianism - (libertarianism is definitely NOT conservative though - as it's not conservative on the social scale) Quade? well...... Billvon might be a liberal (bent with a bit of a superiority complex) - but certainly not a brainwashed Liberal (note the case). But then again, most everyone here has a socially liberal (note case) bias that's reflected in libertarian preferences. most everyone here has conservative positions too - only a couple Conservatives (note case) really are around here. The only one I've met is BV, and he's a great guy. I think most are just cynical or playful and will play devil's advocate to keep the "true partisan believers" from either team frustrated 90% of us here are socially liberal (i.e., we don't mind what others do one bit - or even care - unless it intrudes upon us). The others (right and left) are just social control freaks that cannot handle any kind of diversity - they eventually grow up. 90% of us here are fiscally conservative - we don't mind helping others out, but would rather do it voluntarily for things we believe in. The others (right and left) are just babies that want a free ride for groups of their choosing (for various reasons that they justify as noble or kind or whatever let's them sleep at night). all the bickering is about pretty petty stuff once the baseline is really established ...

I think the FF were encouraging the populace to be 'trained and armed'. Especially considering the context of the times. However - your interpretation is just fine for today.

too late No, not for the riser covers. I'm talking about my super-dooper dynamic-assist magnetic-field skydiver proximity enhancement system. In the same way that the magnets will draw the jumpers together to complete a formation, just think what it will do when you turn 180-degrees to track. Those magnets will now be repelling you away from all the other jumpers, giving you a turbo-boost in speed, and maximize separation for safe canopy deployment. I'm tellin' ya', this is gonna be BIG.

The phrase "You cant teach an old dog new tricks" comes to mind.

It was nice (tangled steering line - slow speed mal) - like getting that first scratch on the new car so I didn't have to worry about it, anymore. My first thought was, "crap, where can I find a rigger at this boogie". 2nd thought - "crap, it's kinda windy and this round isn't getting much penetration" 2nd CrW wrap "Dammit Karl, you don't dock sideways" this one was funny - once we cleared the wrap, I cut away and rolled to my back to watch the mess recede (still up high), then to my stomach and pull - right during the pull I thought "crap, now I'm at terminal instead of slower" WHAP 3rd (high speed container lock) "who's rigging today?

I am betting he made more jumps than you this weekend. I was giving the kid the benefit of the doubt, but he really does have a childish ego problem. I'll take 6-7 pm on a Sunday in the pool. What turned me was just now to Billvon - "uncomfortable" under a Sabre2 (for any reason) and thinking a Stiletto is a fix to that discomfort. I only made 18 jumps (Five teaching AFF, 6 competition 4 way, 7 more fun jumps including a formation load (PAC + 206 very fun) 20way and organizing a few others) - I'm sure he screamed past that tiny amount.
