My brother todcar races slalom regularly. We both started skating in the early seventies. Wood decks with x-caliber trucks and open bearing wheels. The ups guy was our favorite, because in Michigan everything came from CA ups. No empty pools or drainage ditches,no giant pipes in the desert. Just the occasional hill or architectural anomoly to skate on. We LIVED for our next Skateboarders Mag. to be delivered. To see Alva,Peralta,Hester,the Logans and so many others ripping in territory so unfamiliar to us was daunting and yet inspiring.
And now when I log on to this website, I hear so much non skate related crap.
Yeah, exercise your right to free speech. But do it in the correct forum.
Dubya and saddam don't give a %$*! about you when you're skating. Give yourself the same power! Skate all you #%$*&^# dogs.....SKATE!!!!

i've seen that list too Cliff...and i'm not really into the
args right now...but um, that list is a little misleading...
it's kind of an oversimplification to say that all bombs
are dropped for all the same reasons ( to create democracy..
which is, i think what the last paragraph there on
the list is insinuating? ) becasue they're not..for instance,
the bombing of Yugoslavia was not to create a democracy
but to try to stop a genocidal regime...and we didn't bomb
the Iraqi's to put a democracy into Kuwait but to drive
the Iraqi's out of it...and korea and china in the 50's wasn't for the same reasons as Guatamela...i mean, the
idea that american bombing is to create democracies makes
about as much sense as saying american exports are to
make pro-american consumers ( it doesn't work..there's lots
of KFC's for instance in the middle east..)..anyway, saying
that's a 'history test' under the generalization that
they were all bombed to create a democracy is totally inaccurate...

personally, i think the idea of bombing iraq to 'contain'
saddam is kinda silly...he's already contained and we
have far more imminent threats than himself...

no bombs at all, ever, anywhere, done by any government
would be great...

Herbn... thanks for taking the time to read/respond to my uniform theory post. I was disenchanted at the time because it drew no responses!

While I do look deeper into things than to take them at their face value, there are certain very recognizable icons out there, that when they are used the surface level is so strong, that underline meanings pale. Most of these seem to mire themselves in calls of free speech or artistic expression.

The US Flag is such an icon... as is a red/white checkerd scarf on the head and an AK in the hands firing in the air. Now place that flag on fire in the midst of the rifle shooters and the message is pretty unmistakable.

Put the flag in the form of a diaper on a twisted man, and that message is unmistakable too.

While many times things are not as they seem to be... sometimes they are exactly what they look like.

Pretending something is different than it really is, is a deception. Doing it with an icon that is so unmistakable in it's meaning is even worse.

My two cents... HR

I read back, quite a way back, didn't realize the reading was so good here ,or maybe it's a rainy sunday and i havn't gotten over to my workshop yet to press that new board.I've been told the civil war was economics, in the south ,due to climate and the nature of the business it was cheaper to house and feed slaves, in the north it's cheaper to pay a minimum wage and let the workers go out and house and feed themselves, there was no moral high road. Essentially the north needed freed black slaves to come up north and work in factories.
Enter "the Hugh theory of uniforms", very tue,but, a uniform can have SO many different or subtle interpretations ,it's so subjective, and rarely anonymous and literal. Ex. the really rich guy who dresses down , like the rock star who buys jeans with preworn holes in the legs, the homo that parodys a cop or a woman...Is skin color part of a uniform? So ,with a life time of many contradictory "uniform" experiences , we all develope a uniform deciphering system , did you really think that flamboyant motorccycle cop was a real cop:) and someone who sees an apparrent uniform and immediately comes up with a long list unflapable assumptions that "have to be true",well do you do that? ,You could start with apparent things like skin color, i hope not. By the way the assumptions are not the bad part,they could be uncontrollable ,ingrained since childhood, it's the inflexibility that you can control. Take my interpretation of Mr PVD's 666.At first, sign of the devil,since i don't believe in that stuff, but if he does it's negative. what else has he done, he's made trucks,he's mechanicly minded ,scientific, intellegent,ect ect,this is not catching someone spray painting 666 on the side of your garage over an animal sacrifice. Do what you want, the uniform thing is just to superficial, it might be very true, but at the same time it's not that simple ,it shouldn't be and if you check yourself you'll hopefully find that you don't interprete uniforms all that literally.

Is this the slalom forum?What are you cyber geeks on? Way too much time on your hands I'd say..
May I suggest this being a Saturday that you so called racers get off your laptops,grab some cones,and run some gates. Who knows, you might even improve your skate skills.What a concept huh?I'm going back to the hill.....See you all in Elsinore.SHERMAN

Watching "Joe Millionaire" was almost unbePoofle;
Minnesota black dirt is Poofle; some styles of undershorts are more wePoofle than others. ScPoof beetles are heavy-bodied, oval, often brightly colored or iridescent insects that live in North Africa. Would Bill Dance recommend a mPoofou jig for crappie?

h0dad's parents were evil NCOs (how they met and married, aint that sweet) as were their parents before them..a proud history, but kinda innoculated the h0dad, who (while respecting the culture eg. peacekeepers in timor etc) doesnt respect authority enough to cut that mustard;)

well put it this way..the new officer dudes we always got from other companies or via sandhurst were always taken on "Moms country amble" which was a 7 mile full kit assault course by evil NCO's who would beat them with riot sticks when they fell over and cried for "mom"...kind of showed them who was top banana :)

....how about officers make vital decisions which will get people killed which are then ignored by NCO's who nod furiously then give the grunts a proper thought out strategy and command system.....NCO's are the backbone of any regular army..listening to officers gets you killed :)

Army doesn't work like that. If the troops start making decisions they get killed. Officers make decisions and troops implement them. That is the sole purpose of basic training. To condition the men to act when told.

sorry,got a little memoried away there... at any rate if we are as a nation are going to put troops on the ground, let no man be his judge. the man holding the rifle gets to make the decision on whether his target, a human, is eliminated or not. don't set up some kind of parameters. if we are not willing to do that we should not be there. look for another solution. because it costs a lot and i don't mean money. i' m done.

Coming over from the Trucks Forum....
War because technology in conflict while great all seems to break down. the helicopters won't fly due to the severe weather. you still got to get 20k to another site. a decision is made so you hump an 80 lbs ruc to wherever the hell somebody decided you need to be. that GPS worked great til there was a problem with the batteries. you haven't been resupplied with water in 24 hours, do you know how much water weight you have to carry on you to move an 80 lb ruc 20K and stay hydrated? the local water supply is probably contaminated. there are ten of you and you have to work together. you are worried about anti-personal devices meaning mines and booby traps. but you still have to be at your assigned location in time. the map is wrong (happens all the time due to avalaches and floods in third world nations. one on the guys you are with injured himself climbing over something and now you split his load to help out. you haven't showered in two weeks, your last hot meal was 10 days ago. you will love the guy you share a hole with like a brother and not know what kind of car he has. you haven't got mail in a month. your uniform is falling apart, it is the same piece of clothing you have worn for weeks. yes he volunteered i respect the hell out of him and i can't write anymore cause i am crying.
