Since I have the pain tolerance of an infant, I’m pretty sure physical torture would’ve worked on me.  But here’s the deal.  From what I’ve seen of waterboarding, it’s a form of psychological torture.  If all those self righteous congresspersons equate WB with torture, they have no understanding of what torture really is.  Those people make me sick.  Isis has repeatedly beheaded people on live feeds, and these bunch of stooges think a man with a burlap bag over his face getting water poured on it is torture.  Personally, I’d like to give each of them an example of real torture.  Perhaps then they’d realize that WBing is child’s play.  Politicians interfering in our wars has cost more American lives than anything.  I liked Gen Mattis’ response when he was told we’d identified what appeared to be a force of Russian Mercs in Syria.  Obliterate them, Mattis said.  War is not pretty.  Not civilized, even though nations have tried to limit rules of engagement.  But if the enemy breaks those rules, we should also.  America’s young men and women should not have to fight, and risked their lives, with one hand tied behind their backs.

Here’s one of Gen Mattis’ best quotes, given to the Iraqi Command just prior to their army’s destruction:  I come in peace.  I didn’t bring artillery.  But I’m pleading with you with tears in my eyes:  If you F___ with me, I’ll kill you all.

He’s described as a Marine’s Marine.  Enough said.

    • From what I read, the state intended for there to be no drainage. It was to act as a dam or levee just like the hurricane levee around Port Arthur. It worked to perfection.  In doing so, the water had to pile up somewhere.  Like in Causby that I mentioned above, the Supreme Court ruled in that case that the federal government took his land by merely flying planes over it but low enough that the engine noise was disrupting.

    • Exactly. Of course changing realignment to make matchups more fair helps, but fairness always helps, and that shouldn’t be a knock against PNG. But, they created the fixed divisions in what, 2018? How did PnG do in that setup before Joseph showed up? Elite coaching mixed with good players and good luck, and a level playing field, yeah that helps a lot. But for anyone trying to say PNG had it easy, why don’t the other 120-ish teams in 5aD2 do just as well?
    • It’s not a land issue, it’s a demographic issue. The population in PN-GISD is getting younger. Old folks are dying off, and their homes are being bought by young families moving in with increasing frequency. Factor in that PN-GISD is more attractive than some of its neighbors right now thanks to the newer schools, the quality of education and the recent extracurricular success, and you have an easy explanation for the ~20% enrollment growth that’s occurred over the last ten years while the neighboring Jefferson County districts have all either flat-lined or shrunk. You also have an explanation for Groves posting the highest growth rate in the county and the third highest in the MSA on the 2020 census. We’re a lot closer to 5ADI numbers than people realize.
