  1. a single stabbing is usually just rambunctiousness.
  2. The third acticle of confederation pretty much sums up the extent of the power they originally intended to give to a federal government: at issue was not creating a great democracy but protecting liberty and the sovereignty of each state, and beyond that collective security. II. Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled. III. The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever. The difficulty with democracy is that it is the fruit of liberty. A country without a history of protecting civil liberties, or a rudimentary concept of it will struggle for years creating a democratic state where there is rule of law and jurisprudence.
  3. If I remember correctly, Ivanov's experiments were motivated primarily by the idea that if Man could be mated with Apes, this would advance the idea of the mutability of species and knock God out of the sky with the bastard son of Dr. Zaius and a second rate ballerina from the Bolshoy.
  4. That's a family town. Caribou like Myrtle Beach for Golf and Spring Break.
  5. You might just get hooked. I think hockey is a great game at any level. Part of the problem with Hockey being televised in the US is the cameramen don't know how the puck bounces and we are continually fed bad tv feeds with lame announcers. I think it still beats any NBA game any night.
  6. Hard break, he really didn't play for two years. One year out with a concussion and a year out from the strike, so the last time we saw him was when he was 21 and though he was playing 80 games a year hadn't fully developed. His college experience came in the NHL -and those stats just don't measure up well. Furthermore, those stats don't really say much for his skating ability and stick work which are well-suited to the International game. Oh well. I am a total homer and was hoping they would take a flyer on him.
  7. The difference between the two presidents may come down to something as simple as engagement. Clinton loved engaging the press, Bush hates it. But what I wonder is this, if the media was state controlled in this country, how exactly would it be different from what we are seeing now? Or if the state controlled the Media during Clinton, how exactly would it be different from what we saw then?
  8. Still 9 in TSN.ca's power rankings. That guy loves to hate the SAbres.
  9. Connelly should be on the team.
  10. I agree, we could go for Zesty.
  11. Screw loyalty. Most of us are not loyal. We are afflicted. The damned thing given to me by my family who were infected and passed along. Loyalty is a matter of volition. We are dying here!!!! And we have a right to issue non-negotiable demands. (even if they still have the right to toss us out).
  12. I, for one, apprieciate the doublespacing and your acumen, oh soothesayer. Who is "a source" ? Speak so we may believe.
  13. You're so right. Anyone that can't build an offensive line in 5 years ain't gonna be too hot dispatching winged minions.
  14. Just a simple Tau on the Lintel worked really well.
  15. You could start a trend and hold up a sign from the Song of Songs: "Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. I said, 'I will climb the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit stalks.' Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine and the fragrance of your breath like apples." Song of Solomon 7:7-8 I don't think that sign would last very long.
  16. Not the Goatlords, but the Icegoats.
  17. I tried to buy tickets off the site and gave up. Not just for a game but a mini-pack. I lost trust in the thing and ended up at Tickets in Tops. Grrrrrrrrrr.
  18. The guy is right where he belongs, as a DC.
  19. Brittany Spears was the most searched person on the internet for the third year running. Which means that more people are probably thinking about Brittany at this given moment than any other American. The sixth seal has opened.
  20. Yes. But if you publish all those Christmas Party Xerox's from folks sitting on the copier, then ironically, you can keep your ass out of the public domain for 70 years after death.
  21. Although Verizon does have a tendency to act like a para-govermental agency, what you say is true.
  22. I don't know what to say, for the past 5 years we have been promised a power running game with no offensive line. Kent Hull where are you? I even miss Brown and Tucker at this point.
  23. Penalty Kill- 9th in the league Shot on Goal Against -20th. Ruff could have his defensemen stay home and drop that Shots on goal against from 30 to 25, but I think keeping the puck in the offensive zone also means your opponent can't shoot during that time or change lines too much, plus Darcy's defensemen have good recovery speed.
  24. Cable at home, and Direct TV at my club. The Direct tv has all the Sabre games that are televised through MSG, but nobody else but me is interested in Center Ice. But I would propose a switch to Dish if it had TSN
