I dispatched a student load today as the march of solidarity in support of the bill went down the highway by our dz. Shockingly they all lived and had a good time. It made me nervous though, and my opening sucked... bad mojo all around. Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream

We need to use this stuff as the skin on a big ass solar powered jump plane... now that would be sweet. Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream

I like mine, the issues I have are that when I land it likes to read 100ft, even though I zeroed it on the ground, and that it will turn off easily if bumped in the plane.

You need to clear you ears every 3000 feet or so on the way up to altitude. Do this by holding your nose and gently blowing to unblock the one way valve in your eustation (?) tubes that traps pressurized air in your sinuses. You can also click your jaw from side to side. My friend does this in freefall as well, but I just do it on the way up and once my canopy opens. Talk to scuba divers on your dz if you have trouble.

The article suggests that certain high placed and well known Americans had a strong motive to see the Twin Towers destroyed because there were billions of $ of bonds which were due to be paid back on 9-12 stored in an office there. I interpreted it as saying the US needs to be saved from the people pulling the government's strings, but we all knew that right? Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream

Rules #7 Discussing the possibility that the government was complicit in the 9/11 attack is unpatriotic. Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream

So I'm exchanging from my university in Canada to FIU in Miami for 2 semesters. Anyone know the best way to get insurance? I've been told I may want to buy a policy from a US provider instead of travel insurance from Canada. I'd like something that won't be void if I'm hurt jumping though. Any experts out there?

Your wingloading is slightly over 1 pound per square foot of canopy. This is aggressive for 8 jumps. You may want to consult an instructor about upsizing to a canopy you are comfortable with. Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream

Common misconception, though the one favored by the US administration because it helps create a sense of innocent victimizition. US foreign policy has directly killed/oppressed so many innocent Arabs by now it kind of surprises me that more blowback attacks haven't taken place. The explanation you refer to is completely refuted by a book called "Good Muslim, Bad Muslim" by an African fellow named Mamoud Mamdani, should you care to look into it.

Again, Chomsky has made it clear that his criticism of America is not an endorsement of opposing groups, this is simply the area he has chosen to focus his writing on. He doesn't let other regimes off the hook. As to his goal, like all true scholars it is pursuit of truth. Why should we continue to conceive of ourselves in ways which are blatantly untrue, when the result is harm to ourselves and mainly harm to others at our hands? Terrorist movements are not prevented by security, they are stopped when you remove the source of popular support, which in the case of so called Islamic fundamentalist terrorism is US foreign policy, not cultural differences.

I do think you may have missed most of the point Chomsky makes by dismissing him as a communist or whatever. The implications of whatever his views on a just society may be are insignificant compared to his contribution to allowing us to understand the nature of Western civilization when its reletivistic moral assumptions are stripped away. I found his work on the manipulation of language and media were an indispensible resource in the process of de-brainwashing myself from the narrowminded view of the world force-fed us by mainstream culture. I would be happy to debate any particular point of his work on these matters in length with anyone who has the opposite opinion. When I read this article I was surprised to find that there was virtually no discussion of the content of Chomsky's arguements, but instead it focussed mostly on criticising his person. This doesn't exactly fly on the scholarly level. In many ways 9-11 was exactly what he says, a response to American foreign policy. Using the isolated example of Iraq, do Americans politicians expect that after hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children die due to economic sanctions (not to mention bombing) that no one would be angry? Why exactly did the air force have to bomb all those water treatment plants and put the country back in the dark ages? Madeline Albright was asked if she though 500,000 Iraqi civilian lives were an acceptable cost for these sanctions and she said that it was. It's not really a surprise that when Bin Laden calls America the Great Satan some people buy in, after all imagine how many Americans would be blowing the shit out of the Middle East any way they could if these were their children dying. Writing the 9-11 off as an attack based on religious extremism alone is just plain stupid, as much as Bush would like to make people believe that M.E. foreign policy and terrorist attacks are unrelated, this is simply bullshit. I also think that Chomsky is on the money when he charges the US with using terrorism itself. There is an excellent book on this called "Good Muslim, Bad Muslim" which traces the development of US terrorism sponsorship through the late Cold War to the 90's, citing many instances where funds were given directly to groups which used terror as a weapon, from the Contras to groups in Angola. Just because you don't hear about this stuff on the news doesn't mean it didn't happen. Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream

Agh, very far from safe. I did one with an instructor who is a big fellow, and we rolled on exit resulting in PC wrap around our legs.
