    Road rage with no helmet...

    it may not have mattered what kind of bike - yes, most bikes can stop in a shorter distance than most cars. But the cab driver KNEW he was going to hit the brakes, then maybe .7 - 1.5 seconds reaction time before the guy following grabbed the brakes.

    Road rage with no helmet...

    Yes, I made some assumptions - that it was the person (rather than person AND bike) thrown into the oncoming traffic, that he was probably lying in the road (rather than sitting or standing), that the car ran over him (rather than a simple impact), and that he probably sustained other...

    Road rage with no helmet...

    I see the newspaper didn't miss the opportunity to interject the irrelevant fact that he wasn't wearing a helmet. If you're thrown into the oncoming lane and run over by a car, you're screwed, helmet or no helmet.

    Motorcycle Battery - Filling & Charging

    and the hose should be directed so that the fumes (gas) don't come into contact with any paint or chrome. A trickle charger is well worth the investment. Also, bike batteries generally DON'T last as long as car batteries - keep an eye on the water level (use distilled water) and you may get...

    More attacks on Iraq beginning (CNN front page)

    Yes, we are. The internet wasn't in most US homes in 1991, it is now, and TV media has to compete.

    2nd Amendment to the US Constitution

    Yep, that's exactly what I believe. The historical perspective is that the country's founders came from a background where they were oppressed by a tyrant. Democracy was a theory that they THOUGHT should work, but they wanted to make sure the citizens would have the option (and means) to...

    Help settle this arguement..

    That's just it - everyone IS involved with small business. You may be a few links away from it, but small businesses impact everyone, especially in smaller communities. As I mentioned in my earlier post, it's not just the smaller retailers who suffer, their suppliers do, too. It might be one...

    Help settle this arguement..

    your friend who has the family business being threatened by WalMart is right. It's been played out all over this country, in small towns and rural communities especially. Small retailers have a hard enough time surviving as it is. Bring in any big retailer (there may be others, but WalMart...

    For those people who hate hiphop/rap or are new to it

    The track is not typical Tupac - wistfull lyrics (I could even understand most of them), over some nice acoustic guitar. Tasty .... more emphasis on melody than percussive beats and ego-centric posturing. I try to remember how my parents (and many others) dismissed The Beatles, Rolling Stones...

    For those people who hate hiphop/rap or are new to it

    I really don't like most of the rap/hip-hop I've been exposed to, BUT ...... I did like the acoustic version of Tupac's "Thugz Mansion" also, a lot of Gil Scott Heron's music from the early-mid '70's was like a forerunner to rap - interesting, socially/politically conscious lyrics - too bad...

    How are the ribs at the Old Country Buffet?

    I've been to one nearby 2 or 3 times - the food is the worst buffet-style (which itself is fairly low on the appeal factor) fare. And their commercials suck too. got a Jack-in-the-Box nearby? Go around back to the dumpster - your odds of a good meal are better there.

    "Youll find someone someday" - rant

    yep, I've been there .......... the truth is, you probably WILL find someone someday. It's just that today may not be that day. Human nature is that we want WHAT we want, WHEN we want it, and anything less can dissolve us into self pity. I spent a lot of time alone, and some in relationships...

    My morning nef... Have you eaten anything strange?

    I hate to tell you this, but if you've eaten sausage, hot dogs or chicken nuggets, you've probably eaten a lot of other things you might consider strange ;) y'know, escargot and beef brains are kind of similar in texture, (and tasty), but you may never know if you just stick to just eating what...

    Fizzies -I think someone started making them again for the "nostalgia" market, I saw some a few years back in a Mr. Bulky's (but they didn't taste the same as I remembered) oh, yeah - and millions of U.S. manufacturing jobs, sold to the lowest bidder overseas :|

    So I read Fellowship Of The Ring, book one of the trilogy, and I have one word to describe my feelings

    hmmm, well I've read The Hobbit, FOTR, TTT and ROTK numerous times, and still occasionally read passages from them. I found them all to be interesting, but then I sometimes read just for the pleasure of it (old school, I guess). Yes, the pacing is different as the story develops, and Tolkien...

    Alcoholic Nurse, Did I do the Right Thing? Poll

    Acoustic guitars...Best Brands and places to buy them.

    I second the Seagull - I've had mine for over 10 years and STILL love it, sounds great, plays great, looks great. And it should be right around your price range. And they're made in Canada, so at least you can support a company on this continent. Seagull Guitars

    I lived with my wife for almost a year before marriage, we've been married over 5 years. It can be a good experience, depending on your level of commitment to each other, you might start off with CLEARLY spelled out/agreed on division of finances and other responsibilities though. Money...

    After LOTR, The Hobbit?

    I saw the cartoon version of The Hobbit, and I was disappointed. Rumor has it that Ralph Bakshi (Wizards, Fritz the Cat) attempted a version of it, that's the one I would love to see.

    Is voting for Libertarian, Green Party, Reform Party, etc. a wasted vote ?

    no, I don't think it's wasted, a vote is YOUR expression of your personal choice. Even if that candidate does not get elected, you are sending a message of support. That encourages more 3rd and 4th party choices, it also lets the major parties know that not everyone is buying or choosing what...

    Great. Just great. There's a somewhat deep scratch on my monitor.

    which is probably what is damaged- glass is very hard. I had a Dell monitor (Trinitron tube) that had a flaw in the anti-glare coating (which is actually like thick plastic wrap). I tried the dremel w/ polishing wheel, and since the plastic anti-glare coating was so soft, mucked it right up :o...

    Best Jazz music?

    "jazz" is really broad - there's dixieland, big band, be bop, fusion, lots of other sub-categories I can't even think of right now. I like Cannonball Adderly, Miles Davis (Kind of Blue has been suggested, it's my favorite Miles recording), Sonny Stitt, Bill Evans, John Coltrane
