Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: So much to respond to...@Dean Why would I shiver? You basically disagreed with everything I've said. All is right in the world. :) But, po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe. You're clearly wrong on many points :o) but the only... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: So much to respond to...@Dean @ Tom- Well, I certainly don't consider myself any sort of an Afghanistan Subject Expert. I just happen to have spent a fair amount of time there (albeit sequestered on a FOB). Like anyon... |

Valid combatant targets Well, I'll just mention that in my personal opinion all of the stink about Benghazi is politically motivated. I tend to be a realist and to accept that one cannot prepare for EVERY eventuality... |

ahem... Well, if I may repeat myself, ahem... DOWN WITH CITIZENS UNITED! That said my take on "drone warfare" and the killing of al-Awlaki is... meh. (Which shouldn't be surprising, si... |

Re: Flat tax @ Bucktoof- Yeah, and you are clearly not listening. NO ONE has proposed a truly flat tax where they guy who makes $1 pays x% and the guy who makes $1,000,000 also pays x%. Read back a few pa... |

Ultimate Hiker's Gear Guide -Andrew Skurka book Wow, how to rate this book? It is NOT meant for someone who is already an experienced UL hiker. There is nothing in this book that someone like that doesn't already know or can find out in fiv... |

Klepper Double wood framed folding kayak I own a Long Haul Mark 2, which is a copy of the Klepper Double. Though the fasteners vary very slightly the Klepper frame can use the Long Haul hull-skins and vice versa. The guy who builds the Lon... |

Sawyer In-Line Filter I have a slightly different kit- the 0.1 micron 4-way filter. Of the filters available I give it a 5. It's not perfect, but IMHO it is the best that is available, hands down. The 4-way kit come... |
