    How many of us drank a beer in high school and didn't get caught?

    I got caught the last week of school. My [b]assistant principal [/b] the late Lenny Dauphine suspended me the last day of my senior year for buying a beer at the Astrodome on a student government trip. Stros lost .

    Assistant principles...AKA "enforcers" in the day.

    Admin, did you even get to drink the beer?  :D
    [/quote]

    O yea and I wasn't alone. You could buy it at 18 in those days, I was 17 and I think that is why he suspended me.
    [/quote]

    A "character building" moment...you probably didn't think so at the time!
    [/quote]

    Very much. We caught up 20 years later at a reunion. Of course he brought the suspension up after a long handshake, it was good.

    The Astros locked up the 1st overall pick next year with a loss today.  [b]Let's see if they can screw this one up.[/b][/quote]
    They can and will. Even the sale of the team is likely to be screwed up! [b]I still miss Nolan Ryan[/b].

    If this was anybody in office besides Obama rep. or dem. these people taking up for him would be all over their butt. You cant defend things they are doing no matter how you spin it, this deal with Solyndra company cant be defended the emails from the doe saying they would go broke in sept. and they gave them the money anyway. This has gotten beyond ridiculous. The media has invested to much into this admin. to report the way it should be reported. I guess I'am just a racist because I dont like any of his policies. Nothing they have done since they have been their has helped [b]repair the damage done by the prior administration.[/b]
    [/quote]  Fixed it for you.
    [/quote]I agree the last admin.stunk it up too. What they are doing is not helping anyone oh wait yes you can have your kids on your ins. till their 26. They are blowing thru our money quicker than any other ever have, more people on food stamps out of work out of thier house and cant afford anything, so if thats fixin it I guess I,am just wrong...Cloward & Pevin read it and I guess we will wait and see!
    [/quote]

    77.  Nobody knows who Cloward and Pevin were.  How many more posts do we have to endure about a couple of people nobody ever heard of?  Is this all you can come up with?
    [/quote]

    Cloward–Piven strategy  ....I've heard of  them...look it up!

    TB does have the ability to ignore the entire picture and take a snippet out of it.

    How about this one TB, the Democrats had a super majority for two years. There is nothing that the Republicans could do to stop anything that the Democrats wanted to do. What do we have to show for it? They could have pushed tax increases, tax cuts or whatever else they wanted. They did not even want to submit a budget so the public would not see the tiger in its true stripes.
    [/quote]

    Could have, but didn't.  so why do Republicans still cry and fret over guns, taxes etc?  Glen Beck has you guys scared of your own shadow.
    [/quote]

    Why do they fret over guns and taxes?  The reason I fret over taxes is because I want the money to be in the hands of someone who knows how to productively deploy it and, contrary to the typical dem belief, it definitely is NOT the government.  I know you lean more the left and I to the right, but can you honestly tell me  you believe that, since the current President took office, that the economic policies have been the right ones?
    [/quote]

    Depends, I guess.  Do you mean the tax cut extensions?  Don't see how you argue about that.  How about stimulus.  Just about every economist you read about says stimulus is a tool which should be used to fight off recession.  Was the stimulus the right type?  Don't know.  How bad would things have gotten for the auto industry without the clunker deal and cash bailouts?  We won't ever know.  We do know that expanding the money supply is a proven way to grow the economy.  I assume if the answers were easy, we wouldn't have gone into a recession in the first place.
    [/quote]

    So then, can I assume it is your contention that the first "stimulus" merely saved things from being worse and the proposed "stimulus" is the one that will get things going again?  The same "economists" who were involved in crafting the "first stimulus" also said that by now (yes, the quote was the third quarter of 2011) unemployment would be below 8%.  While I understand that expanding the money supply(translation; printing money) is believed to help grow an economy, there is always an eventual price to pay called inflation.( if inflation doesnt scare you , it should - check out1977 when carter took office and inflation was at 6.5% the next year it was 7.62%, the next year it was 11.22% the next year it was 13.58% - In Reagans first term, one year after taking office it was back to 6.16%)  Additionally, history does NOT include any money supply expansion of this magnitude.  The current proposal advocates borrowing more $ to hire teachers, policemen, firemen, and construction workers for infrastructure projects( really does "sound" great).  When those borrowed funds have all been used, what leads you to believe that those "created" jobs will remain in existence?  Some believe that, after those funds have been used, the only thing left will be the debt we "created" and likely wont be able to repay.  And when that day comes, we will then be told that all of these brilliant politicians and economists think that more government involvement is our only hope and, of course, that the "rich" are not paying their fair share.  I am still hoping that the day will come that people will conclude that the government is NOT the solution to all problems, particularly of a financial nature.  Doesnt it ever make  you wonder what would happen if, instead of getting more involved in business, the government just got out of the way and let the markets make the decisions?  Solyndra was spending $6 per solar panel and selling it for $3.  We don't need those types of solutions.
    [/quote]  Sorry man.  Might could have learned something but it was too long for my attention span.

    rip, don't get him started!  ;D

    I'll just add that big bucks in Texas are nothing new...folks been killing them here long before the 13" rule!

    OK, I'm done!
    [/quote]

    Too late.

    Yes, I have seen some huge bucks killed in east Texas every year. With the habitat you would think that it would lead the state in trophies but killing a good deer on one lease is not indicative of the area in general. [b]Management is the key but the truth is that a majority in this area are more worried about pulling the trigger than quality.[/b]

    ;D

    Can't argue with that!
