  1. I remember that from other movies they riffed, did it come up in the Skydivers? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  2. So do we. "I LIKE coffee." Coffee was a major plot line! It took them so long to finally having it! I have many memories of waiting out bad weather days at Kapowsin. That movie would have been great entertainment for such times. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  3. I got the MST3K version (DVD) of The Skydivers. Wow, that movie was sooo low budget, low production value. Really horrible! Great riff! I think it might be a hit at the DZ. I think the MST3K riffs are much like Beavis and Butthead making fun of a music video.

  4. Just because corporations have the same free speech right as individuals doesn't mean that they were saying that corporations are the same as people in for all purposes/considerations. Debating the analogies of corporations are people has no value to the discussion.

  5. The supreme court has interpreted the constitution to say that the right to voice an opinion by supporting a political candidate with money is part of the right of free speech. They also saw no reason that groups should get less free speech rights than individuals. If people don't like that interpretation, then the best way to remedy that is to propose an amendment to the constitution. Not doing that is kinda admitting that the public would not support that position.

  6. Be careful what you wish for. Changing the Constitution should remain a very big deal and not subject to temporal whims. The "proper" course of action is to follow the rules as set forth IN the Constitution first. Strange rulings which declair companies have the same rights as citizens are not supportable by that standard. The supreme court thinks it is supportable. That is the point, they are in charge of that interpretation. If the constitution isn't being interpreted by the supreme court in the way that people think it should, then that is exactly the proper role of an amendment. I think it is far worse to have supreme courts invent/interpret their way around the limitations of the constitution to get their desired result. The unwillingness to use the amendment process places even more importance on the judges. Why the fear? If an consequences of an amendment turns out to be really bad, I say that it is easier to change/repeal an amendment than get a new case before the supreme court that would have the same effect. Anyway, I think it is wrong that modern times have brought about this fear of the process.

  7. Then you will continue to get the best politicians money can buy. It has been working wonderfully. I think the Supreme Court was correct in their ruling about political donations being a form of free speech. That is, I think it is consistent with the constitution. I could be convinced that a different policy is good for the country, but that would require the constitution be amended. Amendments in the past were much more frequent. It seems that amendments are never considered as the proper course to take nowadays.

  8. Perhaps the slider grommets were pushed onto the risers and connector links so that they were taking up much of the space that the steering lines must pass through. Pushing the slider grommets up just a bit might free things so that everything is normal.

  9. I have been doing it on my Pilot 210 ZPX for about 150 jumps. It is working well for me. Very easy to pack this way. I did install a foot long bridle extension.

  11. It is available for real cheap on DVD ($7 including shipping), I just ordered mine,. It is episode #609, just email a request to: tapes@mst3kvideos.com and ask for it, he'll send you an invoice, or you can send a check.

  12. You must have a really steep (bad) track. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  13. Riggers that are experienced with Racers will likely say that Racers are among the easiest to pack. You should find a rigger that is very comfortable packing them. Make sure it is a rigger that not only agrees to do it, but welcomes it. That should not be difficult at a major skydiving center like CSC. Consulting with such a rigger before you buy/pay for a used Racer would be wise.

  14. Manos - the Hand of Fate, really a truly horrible movie from 1966. So much fun at an awful movie. The last one they did was Jack the Giant Killer, which really had a high production value compared to this stinker: http://www.fathomevents.com/originals/event/rifftrax_manos.aspx They also riffed an educational short called "cylinders, at your fingertips", and "welcome back Norman". Funny stuff! Brings back memories from Saturday morning mystery science theater, now MST3k available on Netflix.

  15. I strongly disagree. It is with good reason that the Constitution's framers chose to not give the people a direct way to amend the Constitution. One only needs to notice how many states have bigotry enshrined in their state constitutions to recognize the wisdom of the framers. Heck, Florida even has a constitutional amendment that addresses safe living conditions for pigs (I'm not referring to cops). The Constitution should not easily change with the political winds. It isn't easy to do. Not easy at all. For instance, I say that it if abortion rights groups want to make sure that conservative judges can't remove that ability to have an abortion, then it is much better to have that guarantee by way of an amendment than obscure privacy rulings by judges that can get overturned. Same for those that want it outlawed, better done with an amendment than laws that have questionable constitutional standing.

  16. Which to me is also the only way you are going to change the politicians you get, through altering the access and flow of campaign money. No corporate or organizational (including unions of any kind) contributions. Limits on personal contributions. That would take a constitutional amendment. Amendments are too rare in the last several decades. They should not be. It is much better to have the argument for the amendment than trying to do it by the appointment of judges.

  17. I agree that we should go back to they way those programs were in Eisenhower's era. He was certainly a "progressive" within the Republican party, but I assert you cannot conclude that he would have supported those programs to the form that we have now. He was "progressive", but also frugal. Since you think he's smart, you should also agree with his campaign against "communism, Korea, and corruption". You should also agree that defending Taiwan against the Chinese is just, and that the whole domino theory is valid - he advocated a policy of liberation from communism as opposed to a policy of containment. Sure, I'll take the things much the way they were back in Ike's day. Just like those that want taxation like it was in Clinton's day - as long as the spending levels come with it, that would be a great improvement.

  19. A blind spot is caused by something getting in the way that you can't do anything about. This is just not wanting to look.

  20. I was thinking that same thing recently. I've no insight regarding the location of the zero derivative point, though. Where do you think that point is for % taxes vs revenue generated. 54% tax rate according to the IMF. Would increase revenues by 17.5% I think many would find themselves already at or close to that level if you consider all taxes. There is not a consensus about where that max is in the curve is (some say it is more than 70% at the very least), and it definitely is not the same for different types of income. Capital gains has a much earlier max, as people with money to invest are often taking a substantial risk, and taxes reduce the potential reward without reducing that risk. When people earn income by wages they don't have that influence on their actions. However, libs dislike that reality so much that they don't care about the goal of raising tax revenues for the unending new ways that they can think of for government to spend it, they instead just want to punish the wealthy, and let the poor know they've done it on their behalf.

  22. I was thinking that same thing recently. I've no insight regarding the location of the zero derivative point, though. Where do you think that point is for % taxes vs revenue generated.

  23. Surely those worthy, wealthy "JOB CREATORS" wouldn't stoop to be job destroyers. (Oh yes, they certainly would. Then they stash their extra cash in the Cayman Islands.) It is NOT the purpose of a business to create jobs. The purpose is to make a profit. Trying to make creating jobs a priority will result in less of both. It is no surprise that a liberal academic would make that mistake. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  24. Aren't you talking about the proposal for which a vote was taken, and nobody, not even Dems voted for it? Isn't it the one that Repub wanted to force a vote, but Dems didn't want to vote on? The president can't get his party members to even want to vote on his budget proposals.

  25. LOL stop it Please stop it Irony score 10/10 It's truly amazing that lack of basic numeracy is a characteristic of so many right wing supporters, both in general and on SC. You've got the numeracy problem, 10/10 = 1 Your Elitist Score: 10 (out of a possible 10) People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
