See! Well, I stand by my comment . . . I am correct. Canada is directly east of the US. . . =(_8^(1)

This is a completely ridiculous statement. Everyone knows Canada is just east of the US . . . . . =(_8^(1)

I wonder how you say that in German . . . 'cause our constitution and the people it supports are directly responsible for the fact that you don't need to speak it today . . . or maybe it would be Japanese, ya never know . . . . . =(_8^(1)

I agree, those damned college kids don't have a clue what they are doing . . . . . =(_8^(1)

The Supreme Court says he is an elected president. Edit: to fix typo -- don't want the spelling cops on my case you know! . . =(_8^(1)

For an american maybe... many here arent. Ooop... sory, I forgot the world revolves around the US.... Good point, and well taken. But if the people of other nations want to join into a conversation about US politics, they ought first learn the very basic methods of our system . . . . . =(_8^(1)

Good thing it wasn't Gore there with the Pope . . that stiff woulda bored him to the grave a little early . . . . . =(_8^(1)

lol, yea pretty basic stuff . . . . . =(_8^(1)

True. Bush has a lot of positives, IMO, but he has a lot of negatives too, like lousy speaking abilities and too much testosterone . . . I really wish we'd have done better in the last election. However, I'll still vote for him in the next election because, like last time, there is no better choice. No, I'm just trying to outdo the recently mentioned banned jumper with the 25 ft risers. . . =(_8^(1)

LOL, "moral of the weak", I like it. What I said was, "morals of the week", which refers to a system of morals that changes over time, as opposed to a moral system that does not change, aka absolute morals. I think the commie and anti-american labels are aptly applied to the extreme left . . . just as there are certain derogatory but true labels we can apply to the extreme right. . . =(_8^(1)

I don't believe that only those on the right can claim morality, thus my double negative disclaimer you so kindly pointed out. Ayn Rand defined it well (absolute morality), but I'll also point to the Bible, the Koran, or any of a number of great authors who've taken a stab at it. They all have said similar things through time because absolute morality is hinged on the truth, and truth doesn't change. I might be wrong, but I smell a lecture on the Bible coming on so . . . yes, slavery, adultery, ect. are "condoned" in the Bible. I know there are bad things like slavery that have existed through the ages, and still exist, but the tenets of absolute morality DO NOT justify them. I believe that more people on the right subscribe to the absolute brand of morality than do those on the left, and I don't believe that my belief makes me an ultra facist or nazi, or whatever else you are calling moderate right wingers these days. Do you believe me? Sure there are, but some percentage of people on the right have a better work ethic than do people on the left. Thus my reference to who has all the nice cars. Show me a lazy, welfare abusing idiot who "works the system" for a living (of which there are plenty in the US) that is a republican, and I'll buy you a blue goose. I imagine you to be what you say you are, Amazon, and I respect a lot about you (from what you can derive from a forum) . . . but don't you know the churches are full of democrats too? However, when I am at the DZ fun jumping or down at the lake wakeboarding on Sunday, I don't think of it in the context of not needing the approval of those commie lefties getting all their ideas from the gay preacher down at the Episcopal church. Remember: Righties are people too . . . Grammer? Grammer?? Don't you say bad things about my Grammer dammit, she was a kind old woman right up 'till the day she fell into the outhouse and drowned! Want to come join me in the corner? Oh, and in context, I don't see nothing wrong with the way I phrased that statement, so there. . . =(_8^(1)

Geez, this thread so far sounds like a group of delinquent kids rattling on about a teacher they don't like . . . oh that's right -- all the responsible adults are just now getting up. Ninny ninny boo boo too you too! . . =(_8^(1)

Well sure it is, if you allow the fancy car to act as a metaphor for the positive attributes of the folks on the conservative side of the house. NOT that nobody on the left has any of these but . . . . . . you know, strong goal oriented and clean living, excellent work ethic, belief in absolute moral standards (as opposed to the relativist "morals of the week" belief system expounded by many on the the left). OTOH, I'll grant you that fancy car can also stand for some negative stuff too, for example years and years of racial tyranny and the current (but dying) "good old boy network" that still keeps people down. We really need a "tongue in cheek" smiley around here; my sports car statement was really meant that way. . . =(_8^(1)

Is it "a attribute" or do you really mean "an attribute" of Clinton haters? Not that I care much, since you're not being paid for polished copy here on DZ com. Oh, and we Clinton bashers may not know how to spell, but we sure do drive some fancy automobiles. . . =(_8^(1)

Amazingly, there are large numbers of significant figures from across the political spectrum who embraced or avoided the call to serve. . . =(_8^(1)

I can see the Douglas county fire from the roof of my office building and it has gone wild! 50 mph winds are it driving toward some subdivisions. . . =(_8^(1)

. . . and throw in some damn good steroids for even better results It's an honest question because I know nothing about serious weight lifting, but -- has there ever been a top body builder that didn't use them? . . =(_8^(1)

I'll disagree with this and all the other negative tripe about Bowflex. I've had one for three years, use it several times a week on my non-running days, and get quite a lot of benefit from it. When used properly, the rods produce a Nautilus® effect, growing *slightly* more difficult to bend at the end of the spectrum, just the right amount to match the increased mechanical advantage of the curling limb. I love it. I will take issue with their advertising scheme however, right along with all the other home gym products. After three years I look reasonably good, but I DO NOT look like the guy in the Bowflex commercials (nor do I want to). Nothing less than complete devotion to working out and a carefully controlled diet could ever produce anything close, and Bowflex (and all the others) ought not to be allowed to lie about an impossible six week miracle transition. . . =(_8^(1)

I was lucky enough to get a copy of "Wings Level" handed to me around my 4th jump, by none other than Skr himself. Thanks Skratch for all of your coaching efforts since then, they have helped me grow quite a lot! . . =(_8^(1)

Wow, those pictures really bring it to life. They remind me of our Colorado Hayman fire last year, except there wasn't nearly the human loss then as there has been with this . . . my prayers and vibes to all under threat. . . =(_8^(1)
