House passes bill that will let the RIAA take away your home for downloading music

May 9, 2008 5:43am

Yes the government would take away your home and anything it can get its hands on if this passes.

Look at how the War on (Some) Drugs has been handled.

If you carry large amounts of cash, the government will take it away from you because it MIGHT be used for a drug purchase.

Are you really going to rely on the government to show restraint?

New York Sun column: "Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone"

April 11, 2008 12:56pm

I have 2 girls 11 and 8.

The 11 year old has the run of the neighborhood (in a far north suburb of Dallas).

The 8 year old the run of the street.

When they come home with the inevitable cuts and bruises it's a 'Did you have fun?' and a bandaid (or kiss for the bruises).

Coral reefs coming back from the dead

April 8, 2008 5:28am

The dying coral reefs was one of the main reasons I got my oldest daughter certified at the youngest age possible (10).

Yes, yes I know. It's dangerous, she could get hurt/killed. She is probably not equipped to handle an underwater emergency.

She swims, rides horses, plays soccer and attends tumbling class. Any one of those activites could also hurt/kill her. No one is ready for an underwater emergency until they actually have one. The pay off of diving is much greater than the payoff from diving.

I've been a diver for 20 years. The best dive I have ever been on was the first openwater dive with my daughter. Holding her hand as we swam underwater and she witnessed the beauty is something I'll cherish until I die.

It was at San Pedro, Belize. The same place I had my first open water dive 20 years ago.

Washing machine/toilet combo

As a family of 4 we do MUCH more laundry than we use the bathroom at home (during the day the kids are in school and parents at work).

It would need to have a lot of storage capacity to store the waste water during the week for the weekends.

Monospace,

I see you're the person that brings the knife to a gun fight.

As a Marine grunt there is no way on earth I'd fly in one of those things in combat or out.

Next time I'm in Vegas I'll go. It sounds like a blast.
