    New threat to 2nd A?

    Girls state cut times for swimming are quite a bit faster up until 12 years old or so.

    New threat to 2nd A?

    I’m not sure that is a fair conclusion- the international market has been kind of a dog over the past decade, there was a lot of catching up to be done.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    I agree that it is kind of a ridiculous hypothetical (one that I didn’t make in the first place, for what it’s worth).

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    If my wife was killed or raped by a speeder, I’d have the same thought. My point is that from a macro/statistics viewpoint, there does not appear to be a correlation. I agree with most of the rest of your post though. It is an issue that should have been dealt with many years ago, through...

    They are both “crimes” that have nothing to do with ones likeliness to commit a violent crime.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    I have been wrestling with that same thing lately. I’m certain I would be if that’s what it took to give my family a better life.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    I feel that is conflating two variables though. Yes, illegal immigration is a crime. So is speeding- I’m not sure either one is indicative of the likelihood of committing violent crime. Illegal immigrants have not been shown to engage in violent crime more than the general population as far as...

    That applies to most media and most issues. The option to not have a strong opinion on something is an under-utilized skill these days.

    Endurance Warranty

    Yes. I think of it this way: if buying a warranty had a greater than 50% chance of paying off for the customer, that means they have a less than 50% chance of being profitable for the company offering the warranty. What company would offer that?

    Amazing stories of human ingenuity

    My buddy sent me this picture from an Amish farm the other day. This is way better than a sinful battery (or heaven-forbid a cord to plug into an outlet).

    Wyoming Deer Point Burn

    Same here, but that had way more to do with the odds than cost for me personally. I don’t think that raising point fees for DEA is going to make much of an impact besides making more money for the state (I don’t blame them for doing it, either).

    Wildfire management on public lands, whats your view on it in the way of hunting in fishing.

    Without a doubt, good point. My wife and I consider ourselves fortunate to have the public school system that we do locally, and I’m certain that the majority of the families in the area would say the same- the school district has a ton of support for both academics and athletics. I’m sure...

    Wildfire management on public lands, whats your view on it in the way of hunting in fishing.

    What state? I won’t discount your wife’s point of view, but my kid’ experience in public school has been the exact opposite- a great, challenging curriculum with a bunch of teachers and admin doing a fantastic job for the kids in our community.

    Wyoming Elk

    I could be wrong, but I always assumed that only the party organizer was actually entered into the draw/odds (IE: all members of the party, due to shared party number, enter as one entity).
