The links stay with the parachute... main or reserve. Chuck

That would be a good joke if you had a student named Manta. As long as 'Manta' was female! I don't think, my wife, at the time, would've found much humor in it. Chuck

We'll find out what the Canucks are made of shortly. The announcers on CBC were talking about the Canucks needing to find leadership from the players....I look at the Captain, Henrik Sedin, and I see someone who has no answer to being shoved around and I don't think he is the one to provide the leadership they need. We'll see but I don't think the Canucks have it in them. I believe, you're right. The Canucks seem to have collapsed and Boston really perked-up. Vancouver looked 'lost'. Boston could just walk away with it! Chuck

Now, it's a series!!! Go Bruins!!! Chuck

Even when the dopers go wacko and start shooting up the place? Let's face it, not all dopers are just good folks recreationally using. Chuck Hell drunks do that kind of shit daily... as I said before.... different dopers... different drugs. You got that right!! Back during my drinking days, I did some pretty stupid stuff that I regret to this day. After too long, I woke-up and cleaned-up my act. Too little... too late. Things are good now but it doesn't stop the regret. Bottom line... I had that freedom to choose that route. I guess,everyone else has that freedom, too but folks need to be held accountable for their actions. Chuck I learned a LONG time ago.. that keeping ones wits about them was preferable to the alternative with any of the drugs of choice available to us legal or illegal. It's a rare occasion when I drink to excess... usually at a boogie... damn skydivers.. leading people astray. I guess, I was a slow learner. When I quit, I quit cold. With me, one was too many and 100 wasn't enough. After the jumps were done at the end of the day, it was not uncommon to find me passed-out on a wadded-up student Manta! Chuck

You guys make me chuckle.... According to the CDC, tobacco use is responsible for more than 430,000 deaths each year, or 1 in 5 deaths. Yet, I don't hear you guys saying a damn thing about how cigarettes should be illegal or how the $73 billion in medical expenditures and another $50 billion in indirect costs burden us. FYI.... CAUSES OF DEATH /// TOTAL /// % COMPARED TO SMOKING Alcohol-induced deaths 19,086 04.4% Assault (homicide) 16,831 03.9% Drug-induced deaths 18,443 04.3% Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease 14,681 03.4% Injury by firearms 28,839 06.7% Motor Vehicle Accidents 46,378 10.8% TOTAL OF ALL ABOVE 144,258 33.5% Before you moan about how other drugs will be a financial burden, yada yada, try doing some research to compare them to what is already legal. Your blind arguments are starting to sound like Bill O'Reilly argue about religion.... You missed my point! I was just pointing-out the financial benefits and jobs that could be created. By the way... I have no use for Bill O'Reilly, FOX, CNBC, CNN or any of that other mis-leading, biased, opinionated crap. Don't be so touchy. Chuck DITTO If people want to kill themselves.. they should have that right... As I said before... if people wanna be dopers.. wherether their choice of drug is ciggies.. alcohol.. or fucking heroin.. get it on.... FREEDOM.... this is America after all.. and if stupid people wish to kill themselves with any drug... they should have that right es[pecoially if they have paid their taxes on said drugs when they purchase it. There ya' go! I just don't care to be around anyone on crack, heroin, meth or booze! Like you say, we have our freedoms and we have alcohol and cigarettes why not dope. Let 'em wipe themselves out and problem solved! Chuck

It's still cheaper than the prison system and the enforcement systems that we have in place today - so mock it if you want to - but can you really say that the 'war on drugs' is working? Should we realistically continue to fund programs that do not work? Or do we try something different? Portugal already did. The results look promising. What I am saying is making it 'illegal' has NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on the usage of stuff. It's like making teenage sex illegal - they are going to do it anyway. Hey.. I mean it.. legalize it.. get rid of the WoD and take the profits away from the gansta's Tax it and fund the needed resources for all the long term health issues.. oh and free cremations for all the idiots who die from drugs as a thank you for removing themselves from the gene pool... Bonus if they do it before reproducing I am good with weeding out the This could create so many jobs! Emergency room doctors and nurses, more cops to arrest those for DUI and other offenses. More re-hab centers and more grave diggers for those who over-dose and counselors for those who have been victims of drug users... the list goes on. Not to mention the businesses to process the coca, weed, meth, crack and etc. After all... it's all about the money! Chuck Those pale in comparison to the costs of enforcement of drug laws (officers and equipment), costs of trials, and if found guilty, incarceration costs. These are just the hard costs, some of the additional soft costs are if the person had a normal taxpaying job. Do you know whose lobbyists are most against against drug law reform? Those that represent the Corrections Industry. Couldn't the local, state and federal taxes on all those drugs help fray the costs? I can understand that. Prisons have become big business. Chuck

I see your point. Chuck

Does any of that make it right? Chuck

Freud and all the others probably suffered from just exactly what they were diagnosing in others. I'm sure, all that dope they used really brought things out, much clearer. All in all, I really have to laugh at all the excuses, examples of 'great minds' and whatever else can be dreamed-up to defend dope of any kind and it's use. To me, users are just self-centered and care only about getting their next fix. Chuck

THAT's Country! Chuck

That is just too good! All the very best to you and your family. Squeeze on momma and th little one for me. Chuck

Gary Thorne and Bill Clement were good and it's a real shame we have to put-up with the likes of 'Doc', Pee-air and the rest of those VS/ESPN clowns. They just ruin every game they announce. Chuck

I think, Don wears those high-collar shirts to hide the age linesin his neck. He really opiniated and a lot of times... he's right! I get a kick out of the guy. Chuck

I am Sooooo envious! I wish, I could get CBC. Don Cherry is a hoot! During the regular season, I get the hockey channels and that is the only time I get to see Hockey Night in Canada. Hey Don! Carnaby street called... they want their clothes back! Chuck

Exactly... and stay out of the 'box'! Chuck

Well, gol-lee... it's only the first game. Don't be reachin' for 'TheCup' just yet! Chuck

Whoever scores first is going to win this one! Chuck

They are even at 7-power plays each after 2 periods and no score. It's those goalies... again! Chuck

Yeah.. but are you watchin it in Canadian Uh... no. Chuck eh

Seems... we've seen something similar, recently. Chuck
