Can't we just clone this guy and keep voting his duplicates in every eight years?

My post wasn't a bash to you...you've taken it WAY overboard. My post is basically a statement that I don't want religion influencing my government, take that as you wish.

I didn't feel that you'd bashed me. I didn't say you were bashing me anywhere in that post (maybe the little bit at the end could imply that....). Maybe I could have specified where the bashing was directed. Or rather....where I felt it was directed. My bust.

Personally....I think it's great that you have a reason for your preferences in government officials. I couldn't care less if they are or aren't in line with my preferences. You're allowed that.....but to state "I would rather vote for a dumb person than a dumb person who excuses their stupidity with their archaic faith."....doesn't say "I don't want religion influencing my government". Not to me anyway.

I would agree with ERC on that one.

I guess we will just disagree because I don't see how you

can not draw a conclusion by those two statements, maybe my brand of sarcasm is just over most heads.

Riiiiiight. It's because we're all dumber than you. Uh huh.

LOL, I'm sure she would too, hopefully she will never come down to the lower 48 again. Let her keep an eye on Russia from her front door.

That would be Tina Fey, genious.

If that's the road you want to take and just disagree, that's fine. Much easier that way.....I still don't think the one statement implies the other. I will leave it at that.

You may very well be smarter than me....but I highly doubt your "brand of sarcasm" is over my head.

Hmm I thought I responded, I guess my browser is going wierdo....at any rate I'm not interested in arguing with you guys.....It's not at all an insult to your intelligence, I don't think you guys should take it that way. It's just a different brand of humor I think. Have a good one.

No, you specifically said it was "over our heads." Backpedal all you want.

Back in 1980 my class (2nd grade?) did a mock election. I voted for John Anderson. I found out that night that my parents were voting for Reagan. I still stand by my vote.

1968: Hubert Humphrey
1972: George McGovern
1976: Jimmy Carter
1980: Jimmy Carter
1984: Walter Mondale
1988: Michael Dukakis
1992: Bill Clinton
1996: Bill Clinton
2000: Al Gore
2004: John Kerry
2008: Barak Obama

Those are my eleven presidential votes so far (it would have been 12 but no 18 year old vote in 1964).

I guess I had a couple of shots at voting for your guy but couldn't pull the trigger there in the booth.

Nice to have a winner this time, but Obama's not the American Hugo Chavez that I would have really preferred.

And to think that for 50 years, I've played golf RIGHT handed!

I must vote with the different half of my brain from that with which I play golf.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
