Q: What weighs 2,240,000,000,000,000 pounds and is no longer connected to Antarctica?

Oh, you mad!

I'm guessing you agree there was likely logic in my post that you agree as a likely scenario? And you're right, I have no idea if that's what he was thinking, but it's logical. Why "toe the line" against something you aren't committed to? That's expensive and time consuming, let alone dumb. Easier and cheaper to just say what needs to be said to get what you need. I'm sure there are things he is passionate about and won't waiver from, not sure what that is though. I have mine.

I learned a long time ago how to "use" the system for personal gain. Put idiotic restraints on people and don't be shocked when they navigate through them. We've had ponds built by the ACE, a stream significantly altered to reduce flooding of business space, and all manner of other shit done. You grease the right politician and anything you need is achievable. Look at most PACs for businesses, including Trump's, they donate to both sides of the aisle. It's called business.
Not mad, disgusted maybe, but the greedy and power hungry have been using the system for personal gain since the invention of bread....so, you're not onto anything new there. You have your things you're passionate about, and I have mine.....yet, you get to choose which is justified, right? You've maybe gotten a little too used to being two faced, or you mistake personal desire for integrity. Either way, I like the stands I take. Success comes in many forms.
 
Probably a little more dangerous than that, if he truly is a classroom teacher.
True education comes from always examining multiple perspectives on subjects and critically thinking through the perspectives with objectivity. My personal views do not enter the classroom....outside of my love of the Constitution and the nation, my desire for equality, and my understanding of the role discipline plays in personal success.....even the environmentalism isn't something that I force on my students. Otherwise it's not education.

I get to choose what is justified for myself, you are correct. I don't care what you do or believe, it's between you and Jesus. Just don't get pissed when I don't share a similar passion.

Go back and read this thread. You've been on blast to anyone who doesn't agree with you. Go back and look at the personal attacks directed by you. Hell, just in this latest response, I'm greedy, power hungry, judgemental and two faced. How you're able to discern any of that, I'm not sure. Check yourself. Besides, I'd like to think of myself as determined, successful, and all around good guy to know and be associated with. Hell, I'm Irish genetics and a Dave Wannstedt mustache away from being porn star awesome.

True that. I was wrong to assume I know what motivates you, or the extent of your integrity. Different strokes....and we all need to listen a little more, including myself.

My motivations are simple. Healthy and successful family, a happy wife, and 2 daughters that don't end up on the pole. Retirement at 50, or sooner, in latitudes closer to the equator. A restaurant/bar on the beach and 54 ft of fiberglass by Bayliss or Blackwell coupled with a 27' Scout.

You guys can have this frigging shit show.
