Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I think ssh, was giving me a nudge in the ribs. However, in an election year with the monstrous lie machines in full flow, it's valid and responsible to call it as you see it. It's perhaps a result of my home in Europe rather than CONUS, my background with Uncle Sam the Man, and my access to news systems that aren’t designed to meet the intellectual standards of a fifth grade goldfish.

Anything I say in this forum about the USA’s politicians is protected by my first amendment rights, even if Ashcroft is trying to turn that into a roll of ‘Charmin’

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t lean toward any party affiliation, but I keep an interest in both domestic and international law and human interaction. From that I have some quite firmly held opinions.
The (very shortened) list

· Most long-term politicians are sociopaths.
· Even if they weren’t when they first stepped onto that career path
· Most political systems have become the whores to vested international or megarich personal business interests.
· And right now the pimps are mentoring their own toms.
· We are ALL well and truly f****d unless some semblance of electoral reform removes ‘big’ money and blind bigoted arrogance out of governance.
· Within possibly ours and certainly our children’s lifetime, gobal conflict will begin because of loss of the basic requirements for human life (water, food, etc.) and/or one moron screaming at another moron “my God’s better than your God!”

PG surely you are used to seeing that sort of behaviour by now, I still prefer the Wengen attitude to ski classes, i.e they can join the line with everyone else, it does tend to mean instructors take the majority of their classes away from the busiest slopes, which is no bad thing for all concerned

Masque, you are so right

Kerry's second day headline seems to be:

KERRY DOESN'T FALL OVER ON SECOND DAY (he went skiing this time)

That bit was made up. If you want any more genuine, well almost genuine, Kerrymania, here's a report from The Idaho Statesman.

D G Orf, I'll never get so used to it that I won't say what I think! Almost as annoying is the long line of sheep that stand by and say nothing.

Masque, Quite a apt summary from a fellow sceptic I see. It's called crying in the wilderness though. Said sheep will do nothing about it.

Yesterday I saw a video clip on the news of Kerry skiing and he does well, a decent shortswing and gets a good edge on in longer turns.

Masque, Last time I looked I spelt sceptic with a 'c'! And my national anthem says something about the dastardly Scots in an obscure verse. Which is fair enough seeing as it looks as if they're about to be thrashed by the French.... a truly major global catastrophe if they go on to win the 6 Nations... Sad

Masque, hmmm... don't think that the first amendment is guaranteed here on sH! Wink

Actually, it doesn't matter what I think about any of this personally. It's just that this kind of conversation can mess up an otherwise useful forum. Let's stick primarily to skiing and keep the majority of the more flammable topics out of threads for the most part.

As an example, a thread on this very topic got completely out of hand on EpicSki a few days ago (to the point that the entire thread was expunged). Let's not us go there, too, OK?

Thanks. snowHead Cool

Personally I think we can handle a bit of politics here in a civilised fashion without it getting out of hand. But perhaps "Other Stuff" is the better place for it.

ssh, I wouldn't mess up a useful forum. However this thread was posted in provocation on several levels and can only be expected to generate dissention. I think we’re bright enough and (maybe) adult enough here to extend the bounds of argument to forceful but civilised discussion.
This tread is political in the sense that because of his professed love of the environment/outdoors, the senator may have a more tangible effect on the problem of global warming than the current incumbent. Then there’s the skier/snowboarder animosity, whilst we make light of it here, regrettably it does exist and has been the source of some ‘difficulties’ on the ‘hill’.

Then there’s how we define useful. . . If a thead(s) were started on say, the commercial exploitative rape of wilderness for energy extraction or say the partisan support of a political candidate who favours the same environmental destruction by a snow-leisure developer. Would the ensuing vituperative flaming be considered off-topic for this type of forum?

It is a fine line, I think we can handle the dance required to stay on the right side of it, but it’s fixing points are of necessity, moveable.

Finally. Picking up from another thread, a collective noun . . . a ‘congress’ of baboons Exclamation Madeye-Smiley

Masque, Interesting, I missed most of the "provocation". I did see some attempts at ironic humour though....
