Maybe I should go over to the cemetery and get a pic to post

Yes!!!!! Are you near it? Can you really do that?

You signature makes me sad.

When I was young I used to hitchhike, and it seemed as if people were warm everywhere. I think that all the security ads during elections make us afraid. I think the ads are meant to make us feel afraid so that we go to someone for protection (the candidate with the strongest ad)... But really, well, really I think we were safer when we simply trusted each other more than people with ad agencies.

The Northern Nevada Veterans Cemetery is in my home town.

Oh. Which city is it in? or did I miss that info...
(I was born in Reno)

Oh, I see. I am SOOOOO slow!!!!! it is so irritating.

Did you see the interview with that football player who was so brutal? I forget his name, but he tended to do major damage to opposing players.

He was interviewed last Sunday on 60 Minutes. Anyway, they said that his brain was showing significant slowing. He'd been hit a lot, as well as hitting. (They had showed how he'd had this major surgery on his knee, I think, and had been back in the gym working out before the anesthetic even wore off...)

But see, I don't think you can fight through brain damage quit so easily.

which is why I'm so keen to tell people about b12, which sort of protects nerves, as well as rebuilding them , at least a bit.

I saw the interview with the football player and yes it is sad but if I owned a football team I would want every one of my players to play like he did.

Now as for religious freedom I think that all religions should be allowed but you can't have these religions were they believe in throwing people off of buildings.

Whew, I really needed that, about the "throwing people off buildings" cracked me up!!!!

So, given how much I liked that part of your answer, I'm a little uncertain about how you'd want your whole team to play like him. You got that he was using some kind of steroid, right? that was new and therefore undetectable?

What team was he on, anyway? I can't remember.

When I lived in Green Bay, back in Lombardi days, there was this player they called the Roadrunner, because he'd just run right over other players. Like they'd be running at him to tackle him, and he'd just sort of leap up onto them and over. It was so amazing. I just loved it.

I think I'd rather have innovative players like him.

Yeah so what he used steroids I as a team owner don't care unless he gets caught other wise he wins me football games that all I care about.

I know he played for the Denver Broncos and the Oakland Raiders not sure if he played for any one else.

Oh, right, I remember him mentioning Elway. Thanks.



Well, I guess (to disagree with you just a little) that I think well being is better than trophies... Someone would still win the trophies even if there was a little healthier approach...

See what I am trying to say is that if there is a player that hits harder and wins me more football games I want him on my team. Just like in business would rather hire the fellow who does a average amount a work and you get a average return or would you rather have the guy who shows up a 5:30 in the morning and dosen't go home till the job is done wich could be 10:00 at night and he is making you more money than the other guy because he gets the job done on time.

[Consider]

Yes, I see what you are saying.

I think about that kind of hting a lot, actually.

My two grandfathers were examples of how I think about it... My Polish grandpa who had a grocery store but was retired by the time I came along, died a few days short of his 100th birthday. I remember him as a tall, white haired man who loved to give away vegetables from his garden.

My Pennsylvania Dutch grandfather (I always wonder if he was really Jewish) was President of the American Farm Bureau Federation, he played bridge with Ike's brother (who wrote Ike's speeches), he went to Queen Elizabeth's coronation, etc... and he spent little time with his kids, my dad didn't know any known language when he went to grade school (according to my mother from whom he was estranged). My grandfather died in his sixties. He was a hard worker, like you describe.

Which is really better? In terms of the whole of society. When kids are neglected, does that take a toll on the whole of our society? what if you hired this really profitable worker who neglected his kids and then out of the blue one of his kids shot one of yours... is there really a profit then?

I also think that people think they are doing this dynamite thing when they take the schedule you describe... but really they often are hurting themselves only they ignore the pain because they think what they are doing is very good, not risky or dangerous to themselves...
