If you switch any of the "Commie" list for the other, you get democrat. My guess is that each choice is woth a point towards the right or the left, and they simply have different labels for various point totals, no matter where you earned those points.

Personally, I am much more forgiving of lip synching in concerts where the singer is doing a crapload of dancing. Then the focus is more on the show itself rather than the specific vocal performance of the individual(s) in question. I've also noticed that the original cuts of songs by certain perfor...

He's basically saying that it's a good idea to carry a gun so you can pull it to scare someone off.

It's an idea that I find completely retarded, of course. But that's kind of beside the point.

And Scamp, dunno about your school, but in the schools around here, no, you aren't allowed to wear hats.
"No hats at all" is very different from "only these hats which have religious significance."

And no, there was no school-wide prohibition of hats when I was in school.

I'm hard pressed to imagine most abertions aren't retroactive birth control on the part of a woman whe didn't think to get some pills or thought her partner really didn't need a condom.

Note also that we have multiple rangers. If speed isn't an enormous issue, we probably only need emergency supplies. I know Jarthal can support himself and 3 others through the use of Survival. Koriel can handle 4, which gives us a total of 9 people able to be supported, if we move at 1/2 speed.

The thing is, this guy hasn't spent a lot of money. He's proxied the majority of his army.

Of course, the solution is simple. Don't let him proxy. Or, if you're feeling nice, let him proxy, but with the same or larger base sizes. You know, the way the game is designed?
