    Seems likely

    Going back to teaching nutrition and parenting and other "soft skills" in schools would be a start. Requiring something like ECFE 1ould be a good idea. But we largely just let parents wing it. Frankly once they are born.....they are someone else's problem, until they are all our problem. That's how many people behave.

    We also have house centipedes. ...which would not be a problem. ....except when flying back from the Caribbean a rather large one crawled up my son's bare leg on the plane. It was so large people switched seats to get further away. The flight attendant freaked. It was never killed....on a long flight. To this day my 6 foot 1 inch 17 year old is afraid of house centipedes.

    Bonnes posted on it a few weeks ago on this site....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I already acknowledged some of this after my post......
  6. Mike Sixel
    I knew I should have trade marked "Mind. Boggling." Alas......
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'd say my love for that last part was less strong, but I have not decided where I stand on that right now.......
  8. Mike Sixel
    not some/many Buddhists, but I'm sure you know the Dalai Lama's stance on this...... Heck, it wasn't long ago that we were sure Divorce was a sin, and there were laws against it. The right used IDENTICAL arguments that are being used now in the gay marriage debate.........eventually, freedom will win again, just like it seems to in the West most of the time in the last 2 centuries. So, ya, religions do change their beliefs (slowly mostly), it makes you wonder why they are so dogmatic about them..... I find it highly ironic that the right is considering abolishing marriage now, they seem to be the ones threatening marriage, not the left.

    Not sure what this has to do with anything about politics.......and how we behave now. I'm not sure. It could have been a God (but then how did God start.....), or something else. I have no idea.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I wish more people shared your belief. Thank you.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I love every piece of this.......every piece.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Rogers, IMO, should replace Duensing right now......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Justice Thomas does, for one......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Damn, I'm moving to Portland......
  15. Mike Sixel
    After this year it will be three years where the Twins have lost that trade involving Meyer and Span......so it is going to take work for Meyer to come back. I don't get why they get a pass for trading for a 6 foot 9 guy. Any one of us could have traded Span for a SP, the good FO trades him for the right SP. The Revere for May trade looks good right now, imo. It would look even better if they kept Worley.

    The vaccine thing is fascinating, that seems to be one that people in both parties question.....I don't get it, but whatever. The GMO thing is also interesting, you'd think a conservative person that doesn't like change, and is fearful that change can get out of hand, well, you'd think they'd question that more, since we are quickly losing control over species (not shocking) we've introduced to the world. Fluoride, I don't get that one, but I was sure that was a righty thing...... Your general comment that there are people on the fringes in both parties is true.......OTOH, the dems have largely not tried to enact legislation there, other than the GMO thing, I think.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fluoride is a lefty thing? I thought that was a righty thing........huh. Basic science, like the world is more than 5000 years old, and the world is getting warmer. What causes that change, imo, debate away. But denying an observable, measurable thing?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Hey, another reason not to like Republicans for me, their insistence that teaching abstinence in schools, and not birth control, is a good idea. Ugh....... Not to mention denying basic science stuff......ugh.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I asked Kiley a similar question today....In addition to the snark, he said he expects there to be a penalty even when they re-do the CBA, and that it won't be 20 teams going over next year either.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It is not unreasonable for at least some players to come up and succeed, not for a minor league system this highly rated, with so many top prospects. Other teams do seem to be having more success with prospects lately.....I think year three of Hicks it might be reasonable to say he's not good yet........and I have never "stuck a fork" in Gibson. I have called for him to be called up and let him pitch for a year or two....same with May, frankly.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that reason to get him up sooner.....so he's good sooner next year?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm not just talking about this year, or this year's players.......how about Arcia? Hicks? Pinto? all the RP lately but 1 or so?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Even though tall pitchers don't usually work out? That has no bearing on this at all?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I generally agree with this....him being up this year or next is good speed to me......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Here is what Kiley just said in his chat: Kiley McDaniel Upside better than all of them, hard to say how he'll react to the best competition he's ever seen. That said, I saw him about a month ago and he's the best pitcher I've seen all year. He was ready for MLB that night and Terry Ryan was two rows in front of me. Comment From James Is Jose Berrios ready for the majors or more to work on? Better yet: if called to the majors, where would you slot him amongst Hughes, Erv, Gibson, Pelfrey, May?
