So how about we start thinking about summer and what goes with that? In Bozeman that involves discussion about closing off Main Street on July 4th. Am wondering what you think about the request by the Green Gay Loggers for Jesus to shut down the street for 12 hours on July 4th? Personally I'm wondering if the head of the Loggers was expecting the same support for his proposed car show and music event that he got for his small counter protest march last year? To me, just because it was a good idea to do something once, doesn't mean it stays a good idea. I think I'm in agreement with the city on it's decision to disallow this. 
Did you get your census letter telling you that your census form is on its way. Our federal government's save the date notice for 120 million households. So think about it, every taxpayer paid for someone to write the letter, make copies of the letter, stuff the envelopes with your name and address on it, put a stamp on the envelope and then take the letters to the blue box on the corner and finally they are delivered to your home, where you open the letter read and if you are like me shake your head in disgust while you deposit the letter into the trash or recycle bin. Then the trash man picks it up and takes it to the dump where it is trampled upon by a bulldozer and sheep foot compactor. Cool jobs huh!
Does the public know about the behind closed door policy of euthanizia at the HOV shelter??? I've been told many dogs are put to sleep, and I know in the old shelter, there were always many (100-200) dogs there all the time. Now, maybe 21?? Where are all the dogs going? I'd really like to know. I've heard it called "heartless of the valley" by people who know, and thank god there's a new director ... maybe she won't do what the old one did. but it's the same BOD ... maybe it won't change for the better at all. and does anyone know who the director reports to? Or the HOV in general? Who governs them? John Q Public should, and I think we need to tell everyone in the community that supports them just what is going on.
In the following article I will try to present to you a reason why we need military tribunals to prosecute war crimes. However, the war crimes I would like prosecuted are not being carried out by people with the names of Mohammad, Shiek, or originate from some far off middle eastern country, in fact the war crimes I am talking about are being carried out by people with names like Smith, Jones, or Anderson. These people don't walk around with turbans, dress in robes or have olive skin, in stead they wear baseball caps, dress in jeans and t-shirts, and have white skin. If you were ever to read about these people in the newspaper they would not originate from places like Syria, Saudi Arabia, or Pakistan, but they would come from the USA, England or another part of Europe. You are probably just getting ready to call me un patriotic, anti American, or a host of other names I dare not repeat in good company. Recently a member from the Council of American Islamic Relations came to MSU to...

Read and weep.
I made some posts quite a while back warning people about a criminal in our midst. I also posted info on some other sites and have continued to follow up--mainly because people have continued to contact me regarding his whereabouts and additional criminal activities. Well, he is finally where he belongs. If you or anyone you know have been victimized by this man--contact the Madison County sheriff as they are looking for folks to come forward at trial and sentencing to make sure he gets what he deserves!! Yeah!!!

Are the loading carpets at Bridger Bowl reducing lift stoppage and increasing the volume of skiers up the mountain? That is the claim of the product, does anyone notice a difference from previous years? Should BB install another loading carpet at the base of the new lift? The complaint of the new proposed lift is a reduction in uphill capacity, 3 skiers per chair instead of 4. Will a larger motor on the new lift and loading carpets manage this issue?
How many more natural disasters can the earth endure
before people tune
it all out. After all there's no one to blame the Chile
quake on, unless it's God. Maybe He
wants our attention.
I have a startup company with a very large shop that is only partially finished. Both short on cash and looking to reuse as much as possible for environmental reasons, does anybody know of a place to get free wood, pallets, scraps etc?? Anything helps, I will, of course, haul myself. THANKS
It never surprises me how much the message behind promoting marijuana is laced with more propaganda than the anti-drug side. Users of the drug have a very high bias towards it being healthy, positive, beneficial, and harmless. This makes sense I guess when you think about it, likewise alcoholics deny negative effects of alcohol. Some of these statistics and "facts" that are promoted about marijuana are purely manipulated for the intended purpose of making the drug legal.
This being said, marijuana may be a legitimate alternative drug for those truly needing its benefits- those suffering from cancer, glaucoma, AIDS. Yet what has predictably happened is the majority of those getting their medical marijuana cards are not suffering from severe conditions. State numbers show that over 85% of those with medical marijuana cards have 'Chronic pain' as the reason it is recommended. Chronic pain is such a subjective ailment anyone can say they have it. Thus, its mostly chronic users that are benefiting from...
Does anyone out there know a Doctor who will recommend medical marijuana for cronic pain and a sleep disorder? I have tried at least 10 clinics with no luck.
An article in the Thursday, Feb. 25 Chronicle talks about Bozeman High School students fighting the use of the word "retard." Do you think more should be done in schools to prohibit this type of language?
This report from PBS fronline should be watched by every American. When and how did our current economic crisis start, and how did it get so bad? The big players have claimed that they did'nt see it coming, THEY ARE LIARS! Why are some of these people still in high positions in gov. or banking, and not behind bars?
Voters have proven that the majority of Montanans support the decriminalization of Cannabis. HB 541 was defeated in the Montana State Senate because of partisan feet-dragging. The representatives of Montana need to realize that they are ignoring their constituents and rethink decriminalization. Studies have shown that countries with more tolerant drug laws actually have less cases of abuse than the US. Pot is easier for children to procure than alcohol because drug dealers don't card, and can often supply more dangerous drugs. If there truly is a "gateway" to hard drugs, it is the black market itself. Montana is facing tough financial times, and Cannabis could provide an entirely new agricultural market. Millions of dollars could be collected for the State in taxes and fees. Furthermore it would create a new source of revenue for businesses and create new jobs. This untapped industry should be capitalized on. The State needs to set up zoning ordinances...
Do you ever get stared down by store greeters? Jeez man, burn a hole through my head!
I know what WTF means, but I often wonder why people have a need to use the f... word and other obscene words. I am offended when women use it and even more offended when men and women use that word in front of my wife. Is this a way people express a subconscious dissatisfaction about themselves? When this happens what can I do to stop it without offending these basically good people?
Hi all, I'm in the process of moving from Bozeman to Phoenix. I'm discovering that uhaul rates are expensive and I don't have a vehicle that I can tow a trailer with. I'm wondering if there is anyone from Bozeman moving to Phoenix anytime in the near future, and if so, can I rent some trailer space. My projected moving date is 2/27 but can be flexible with that, if need be. It's just extremely expensive and while I am not moving a whole lot, im finding that it would cost around $1500 to rent a truck and trailer to get down there. If you are or know of a friend making this trip, please let me know!! Thank you, I'm going to miss Bozeman!!
At first glance you would think that this is hard to believe with Bill Kristol and his band of war promoters all over FOX news, but maybe it makes sense after all. Theres not a lot of oil coming out of iraq and its been that way for some time, Iran is in turmoil and not moving ahead to develope it's oil fields, and oil is still pegged to the dollar. No matter how you slice it 7% is still a pretty good piece of the pie at News Corp, number 2 in fact. This also puts a whole new meaning to the recent SCOTUS ruling!
Will Steger, renowned arctic explorer with a B.S. (so true and not mentioned in the Chronicle) in Geology, a (what you get when you can’t get a job in Geology, and want something more than a dogsled) Master of Arts and a plethora of (show up for cocktails, a free meal and we will give you one) Honorary Degree. According to the Chronicle, for 45 years Steger has been dogsleding and kayaking over 10,000 miles. Usually, the admonishment is for someone to get out more often. In this case, well let’s just say he should get cozy in his house for a while, a long while and come out 20 years later when the planet is still here despite his Gore-esque dooms day predictions. The Chronicle article of February 11, 2010, by Michael Gibney states, “These days, Steger has turned his passion for adventure to global climate change and clean energy because, he said, “We are all on an edge right now and it’s an opportunity for us to think outside the box and learn what we can do.” Really, you mean making money has...
An article on the Big Sky page in the Feb. 12, 2010 Chronicle stated the Bozeman City Commissioners are considering a ballot measure that would increase their number from five to seven. Do you think this is a good idea?
I just saw a headline that the snowstorm in DC is costing taxpayers $100m/day. It occurs to me that w/ DC shut down, it's probably saving us 1,000x that much, or more. (edit) Still a bargain.
Certainly reducing speed from 70 to 55 on 191 would reduce the frequency and severity of accidents. Reducing it to 5 would do even better! I certainly hope no money was spent on this study of duh! 191 is a major artery that needs to be 4-laned in the valley to accomodate car, truck and RV traffic. Better place to spend stimulus money than a tennis court.
The Drudge Report has a headline this morning stating that this "Green Police Ad causes stir" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml54UuAoLSo Do you think it's controversial? I thought it was kind of funny because it illustrates the absurdity of the extremists of the green movement. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Drudge used that headline, even though I think it actually supports his far right tendencies. I'm all for living sustainably, and doing our best to keep a healthy planet, but I also think that with the "green" movement, like with anything else, there are plenty who take it way to far.
I can't believe I got suckered into supporting that Tebow Super Bowl spot. I can certainly see now how some folks would find it objectionable and offensive,
