LJ,
Yeah, I’m with you, why are all those Iraqis fighting and complaining. Didn’t America make them free? They must have a negative mindset like Sara. How can we get the Iraqis and Sara to start focusing on all the fun stuff our government is trying to give them and stop focusing on the negative stuff in their minds.
I’m rediculously happy, focusing on all the fun stuff happening here in Idaho. Especially the free government suff they say I want.

Painting in broad strokes of course; but…

A bad day in Boise is still better than a really good day in most of the rest of the world, in both land mass and population.

I am always cognizant of that, and that part of the reason we enjoy life in a better-than-average community in a substantially better-than-average nation is that there are those willing to bitch & moan, from time-to-time, about that which demands a wee bit o’ bitchin’ & moanin’.

Otherwise we just might still be drinking exceptionally overpriced tea.

And don’t forget Boise’s 1st Annual No Pants Day on Friday, May2nd (www.BOISEnopantsday.com).

How’s THAT for fun!

Sara-

I have some news for you: You are free. If you don’t think so then do some research on life in Iraq. Happiness is a mindset, if you choose to focus on all the negativity, then you will never be happy.

Howcum the cops need a range? Don’t they get enough practice already from all the nut cases who try to outrun the cops and then jump out with a gun in hand? Plus, of course, the various other actions that prompt the boys in blue to shoot first and figure out the details later.
And, yeah, lately the policefolks do seem to hit what they’re shooting at, unlike some years ago when they’d have to fire 30 or 40 shots to knock down some guy a few feet away. (Always wondered where all those other slugs went. Amazing they didn’t kill a few innocent folks throughout the neighborhood in some of those cases.)
Still, if a cop has to shoot to protect me, I want him to hit the bad guy with the first shot. (On the other hand, if he’s shooting at me, or course I want him to miss. Hmmm a real dilemma.)

I think none of you gets the big pitcher. It wouldn’t cost any gas money if the policemen marched to the shootin’ range…”yer left, yer left, yer left right left, Jodie was home when you left, you’re right..sound off..cadence count”..AND it would be good excercise to work off all them donuts..especially if they carried some sandbags.

Good grief, you people thrive on negativity! Anyone ever happy? Anyone?

All I know is…

If that Foothills Fire had been started (Unintentionally or not) by you or I, we’d STILL be making little rocks out of big rocks at some prison somewhere.

BPD and National Guard trained to know better, AND he admitted in his initial statements that it was his fault.

“…and justice for all.”

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Oh, wait… That’s not funny at all.

Oh you poor fools. Can you not divine the truth? The distance or time to the Nat Guard range has nothing to do with anything save perhaps a convenient smoke screen.

Masterson apparently has the money in his budget to build a new range on City owned property. The important question to ask is “what will happen to that money if BPD uses the guard range?”.

Remember people – when divining the truth about anything, particularly goverment at any level, follow the money.

BTW – dog – loved your post. Hilarious.

Hey, Dog. Thanks for proving my point about the 45 minute trip. Sounds like someone is pulling a little wool here. And it is true that people who are in that part of their schedule where they need to practice shouldn’t be driving vehicles with a single occupant, which vehicle has to be left running in order to keep the electronics cooled. Does the police department have any idea about the cost of gasoline these days?
