    CardinalBacker got a reaction from Hagar in Turf fields   
    Is this a joke?
    The only label Silsbee’s stadium has is for having the most jacked-up playing surface in SETX. That’s the reason why (feel free to correct me if  I’m wrong) Silsbee has never hosted a playoff game. 
    Jasper, PNG, The Butch, Huffman, and probably even Lumberton, are all nicer football facilities than Silsbee’s. Livingston is the only local school that I can think of with worse parking. Plus Silsbee’s lighting is bad. I like the dirt pile, though. Except that’s not dirt, it’s a big pile of dashed hopes, unfulfilled dreams, and excuses. 
     
    Even Bridge City gets a flyover by the Mosquito Control plane. Silsbee is downwind of Evadale on a bad night.

    CardinalBacker got a reaction from Hagar in Slavery Never Ended -- It Was Perfected!   
    No... a slave by definition was the property of another, not the government. There were few (if any) rights that were afforded to the enslaved. 
    I do, however, think that we have ceded too many of our personal freedoms in exchange for “safety” and “the greater good.”
    My take on modern slavery is totally different. I think it was outlawed in the 1860s but definitely exists. Our urban areas are modern plantations.... they just don’t require anybody to get up and head out to the fields and nobody realizes that they are free to go. Dependence on our modern welfare system has ruined the lives of millions of Americans.

    Slavery in the U S defined slaves as chattel property. Like cattle, or goats. Your comparison of that to having to get permission to drive or fish is juvenile at best, irresponsible at worst.

    Let's see.... Vidor tended to stay in the mix in 5A and Lumberton didn't.  I don't see those levels of performance changing.
