Enforced mediocrity. And it’s even a poor way to accomplish that. Some schools can afford better weight rooms than others. Will we begin regulating that soon? I look forward to someone demonstrating how the ability to have those kinds of experiences translates to an unfair competitive advantage on the field. After all, there are all kinds of things that give one school an advantage over another, but they’re not unfair.

Have you played on a winless team? I have. Have you played in a game where you lost by 60+ points? I did. 5 times. You probably would not have enjoyed many of my varsity football games. But I did. Every. Single. One. So forgive me if I get tired of your act.

Ah the caps lock monster... it gets the best of us.

I comprehend just fine. I recognize that the private companies polluted the river in the first place with no regard for the damage they were doing to the environment. That's the bottom line and addresses your original claim that there is no need for government intervention because the private companies will protect the environment on their own. History has proven this to be false. Maybe since it was before you were born, you don't believe it happened, I'm not sure? And the Cuyahoga River is just one example of negligence regarding environmental destruction by unchecked actions of the private sector.

Liars are liars. You trust em....I don't. To be honest, most of the clap trap you post is so incredibly biased and some verges on conspiracy non sense that I have stopped giving it more than a cursory read. Even when I did read the non sense and respond, the discussion always went into the Muda vortex of personalizing the argument. When called out, it then went to "your" the smartest guy in the room or "I learned it from you" rhetorical technique. So....save your breath.

you're triggered

I don't know, I haven't paid too much attention to what he's saying about Pence, nor what Pence has said about him. Pence is not currently his opponent directly, nor do I expect him to be anything other than a Vice-Presidential candidate. But I would agree that he should concentrate on the real issues and not get sidetracked too deeply on the LGBTQ subject. I'm not giving much attention to any of the multitude of candidates the Democrats are trotting out. If the D's continue on the path they're on right now, I think they're doing everything they can to lose the 2020 election.

Thanks Muda - Worked like a charm.

Showed up for me. The Post must have algorithm that allows commies in.

Nope

Howard's parting words on the simple act of kindness were, "The point in this is always be kind and be nice to people.

Possibly because they realize it’s none of the IHSAA’s business and that schools should be free to make their own decisions on what type of travel experiences they want to afford their student athletes?

I played at Cuyahoga Falls when I was a sophomore. or jr. at St. Ed’s. Remember a real bruiser of a fullback named Doug Root. Of course, that was back when dinosaurs walked the earth. 🤣

Indeed That amendment will get voted down by score of WHATEVER THE VOTES ARE to ZERO I believe the 6 quarters of football is a HUGE plus for small schools I expect that to pass

Also keep in mind that to several on this Forum it's important that government dictate, mandate, control, and manage practically every aspect of the United States economy. That they naively believe such loss of individual and economic freedoms will prevent a future of desolate barren landscapes and individuals searching for food, water, and breathable air.

Yet more neanderthal mentality. And are you claiming the fake injuries never occur in tackle football? Or flopping in basketball?

A smart move. But then again you are the smartest person on the GID.

You mean Boy Scouts? Chess? Acting? Choir? Band? Robotics club? There are many, many activities out there that are valuable, challenging, and rewarding, depending on the interests of the individual. I'm sure your "nudge" wasn't so subtle.

Nice. So your son is now a veterinarian?

Yes, government is the solution to everything.

Yes, Capitalism is a huge failure. How could I be so blind to that fact?

And actually your precious, all-powerful state enabled them: FTA: Yet cleanup of the Cuyahoga had started after the terrible fire of 1952. In 1959, fish reappeared, testimony to some remarkable progress. The leading businesses of the area formed the Cuyahoga River Basin Water Quality Committee in 1963. In 1968, voters approved by a two-to-one margin a bond issue totaling $100 million for the purposes of cleaning up and protecting the river. By the 1960s, the state of Ohio had basically taken “ownership” of the river. That put the Cuyahoga’s fate in the hands of bureaucrats in Columbus, the state capital, 120 miles from Cleveland, and nowhere near the Cuyahoga. They officially declared the river to be for “industrial use.” These state-issued permits completely smashed the recourse the people of Cleveland would traditionally have: common law tort. The state licenses the industries and gives them legal authority to dump in the river. Actually, the state gives them a license to pollute. Far from the government standing by while business polluted the river, sometimes, the government stood in the way while business tried to clean up the river. In 1965, for example, a real estate company sued the city to stop allowing use of the river as an industrial dump. It won, but the verdict was overturned by the state supreme court, which found that state law trumped common law rights.

Interesting you completely ignored the fact that the Ohio state government basically issued permits allowing industries to dump wasted into the river.

So Mr. Murray is a liar? Where is your proof?

Still dodging the fact that it was government policy, in the guise of state permits, that allowed most of the pollution in the first place.
