Rythos asks where the normal people are, I started this thread 8/29/08 as a challenge to have people explain why they were for a particular candidate, not why they didnt like another. The Thread went cold on 9/3/08. That was six days and most of the entries were not positive comments on candiates people supported. So, again, who do you support and why? And no fair saying I am for A because B is a dirty rotten scoundrel. Can it be done?

Whether its Hannity, Limbaugh or Beck, the only reason and I repeat, the only reason they are on the air is to make their Companies money. If no one listened to the great Rush, his voice would be silenced rather quickly, the same with any of the great voices of the American Public. Talk radio is about entertainment and giving people what they want to hear, its the only explanation for Michael Savage that I can come up with. Right or Left Wing Talk shows is just that, a show, paid for by sponsors who want your money, like they could give a rip about how you think.

Thank you Merlyn, I'll watch for it

Everybody, take a deep breath. The Inauguration of the Presidential election winner will be on January 20, 2009. If Obama wins its not like on January 21rst Police stations will be collecting guns because of the mandatory surrender of arms Executive order signed by the new president. (not sure if that's even an issue, but humor me) If McCain wins, its not like on January 21, 2009 all your health care benefits will be taxed (not sure if that's even an issue, but humor me) We treat the elections as if the way of American life will change radically as of January 20. The problem I see in the candidates is a mongering of fear, this guy is inexperienced to lead and thats bad, the other guy says this guy will tax your health benefits. What about what they each plan to do ? At least the Obama ads I have seen say something about "read my plan at something.org". Its a start, but if they can thumbnail the other guys plan, cant they do the same for their own?

There is this thing called "free will", and sometimes its a bite

Apparently I should utilize my resources a tad bit more BobWhite is correct

I do the three Citizenships and Pioneering My favorite author is Hermann Hesse and love Steppenwolf. Both the Novel and the Band

James Arness was Matt Dillon, not James Arnett, not sure who that was but Jon Arnett was the guy who Gale Sayers replaced in the Bears backfield. Jon scored a touchdown in the game that Sayers scored 6 in, easily could have been Sayers. Speaking of which Arness was Peter Graves (Good evening Mr Brigs) from Mission Impossible's older brother. Ronald Regan was a host of "Death Valley Days" which had quite a few

Hey, I have the anthem for a Voter's Rebellion What gives you the right hey you To stand there and tell me what to do Tell me who gave you the power To stop me from livin' like I do Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where None of your clever lies fill the air I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin Just might all gang up on you Turn the knob and do you in Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away. Don't bite the hand that feeds you This never ending power play "Tween Jealous greed and vicious hate Is grinding us like giant millstones But it can't be our only fate It's time we got our heads together And let'em know that we're awake Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind They're breakin' from your strangle hold on their minds Those that can see don't need no one to cross the street Be careful who you're pushin' round They just might find you obsolete Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away. Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Always nice to join an unanimous crowd. There is a reason why it's called a CREW review, becaise the Crew is charged with doing it, not anyone.anything else

Build a Wall? Nope, I was to busy on the road not taken to build a wall Loved Lost in Space, in that silver spacesuit June certainly was busting out all over, although my heart, truth to be told, was pledged to Angela Cartwright. Billy Mummy was also in it, be very careful or you could be wished out to the cornfield

Now, I CAN recite the Cremation of Sam Macgee from memory and do so quite frequently. Perhaps too frequently but yet, that one I have down cold Also in the repoitore The Ballad of William Sycamore Casey at the Bat The Bugville Boys (Casey's Redemption) Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening

As has been commented on here, the rules are the rules. If a scout has the ambition, talent and skill to complete requirements, then they must have that ambition, talent and skill. If the requirements for Eagle are done, and these requirements build over time, approved by adults in the troop I do not see how that can say the youth is not ready for Eagle. So, what does the Scoutmaster/Committee say, He is not Eagle material, but he lacks a certain Je ne sais quoi? When they do know what they lack, they can verbalize it, until then let the process roll

There used to be a standard Boy Scout reply about knowing and utilizing your resources and I do ... get a job

Tell you what Eamonn, once the BethWorks Casino gets built on the grave of the old Bethlehem Steel Plant, perhaps we could attend a Celtic Fest, slip a quarter down a slot machine and have a few root beers and talk about scouting. If we are lucky my sister-in-law (and a good ol' Owl too) and her husband (they live in Prestwick, Scotland) will be around. Billy (her husband) usually needs an interpreter

Heard the Fugs do this one How sweet I roam'd from field to field, And tasted all the summer's pride, 'Till I the prince of love beheld, Who in the sunny beams did glide! He shew'd me lilies for my hair, And blushing roses for my brow; He led me through his gardens fair, Where all his golden pleasures grow. With sweet May dews my wings were wet, And Phoebus fir'd my vocal rage; He caught me in his silken net, And shut me in his golden cage. He loves to sit and hear me sing, Then, laughing, sports and plays with me, Then stretches out my golden wing, And mocks my loss of liberty. William Blake

Listen, all you children, to my sad refrain, About a subway conductor on a runaway train. Squeezing people into cars, he won his fame. (yeah) And John Charles Cohen was the great man's name. J. C. Cohen, what a great conductor, IRT, that's a subway line, And if you wanna travel uptown, He's a greater conductor than Leonard Bernstein. 'Twas on a Sunday in the summer, and from everywhere, People planned to take a subway to the World's Fair. A half a million people tried to push and jar, All of them determined to get in one car. But the IRT depended on their finest men. J. C. Cohen could pack a subway like a sardine can. He pushed the people up and back and 'round about. He squeezed so many in, he squeezed the engineer out. J. C. Cohen, what a great conductor, How he'd moan, "Step to the rear." J. C. Cohen, he really had a problem, On a subway train without an engineer. J. C. tried to get into the engineer's place, But when he look inside the cab he saw a strange man's face. A half-pint drunk with a full-pint bottle. He emptied out the bottle, and he yelled, "Full throttle!" They passed Columbus Circle doing 82, 'Couple minutes later they were under Bronx Zoo. J. C. shuddered, and he said, "I guess This used to be a Local, but it's now an Express." J. C. Cohen, what a great conductor, Kept his head when everyone was tense. He said, "When we pass the city limits, Everybody pays another fifteen cents." J. C. said, "We're heading north, my friends, But not a man alive knows where the subway ends." The train went under Albany at 90 flat, And Governor Rockefeller hollered, "What was that!?" A lady said to J. C. Cohen with indignation, "If this is Albany, then you have passed my station. So either you should take me back to Fifty-ninth Street, Or ask one of these gentlemen to give me his seat." J. C. Cohen, what a great conductor, J. C. Cohen noticed something odd. When he saw lobsters on the roadbed, He said, "I got a feeling we're beneath Cape Cod." Oh well, the train kept speeding to the north, my friends, Finally came to where the tunnel ends. When they came up to the surface from the long, long hole, They were 27 inches from the great North Pole. J. C. hollered, "Everybody out! This is the end of the line, beyond the shadow of a doubt." They went out to get some fresh air, and before they took a whiff, Cohen and all the passengers were frozen stiff. J. C. Cohen, what a great conductor, Bless his soul, he ran out of luck. J. C. Cohen, he was really frozen, And he had to be brought home in a Good Humor truck. When they told Mrs. Cohen that she'd lost her man, She said, "Must you interupt me when I'm playing Pan?" Then she said to her partner, Mrs. R. J. Rosen, "Cohen was a lovely husband, but he's no good frozen." Then she went to her little boy, and took his hand, And she said, "I'm going to take you out to Disneyland. So Melvin, little darling, don't you weep or wail, 'Cause you got another papa on the monorail." (Got another papa on the monorail.)

But of course we all know Capt Christopher Pike, as played by Jeffrey Hunter as the first Capt of the Enterprise. Jeffrey Hunter had eyes deep enough for Michael Phelps to set a record in Ah, Dianna Rigg in a catsuit, You know, you compare her to Uma Thurman and as well toss in Michelle Philips and Halle Berry, but Dianna Rigg still tops them all

Father Mulcahy in the movie was played by Rene Auberjonois who went on to be Clayton on Benson, Odo on Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Paul Lewsiton on Boston Legal George Morgan was Father Mulcahy in the pilot and was replaced by William Christopher in the show
