Re: NAR Board of Trustees

Chris,

You have missed the substance of my post. Loosing the *identity* of the medium is what I was getting at. I work digital because it is what the marketplace demands. I '*do*' film because I love it. I can smell it, I can taste it and I have had more fun in a darkroom than I would guess many people have had in their bedroom. It's a visceral thing...

Like I said, you either get it or you don't.

You gotten any lately? 8^)

Film Fumes are Fun!!!

I guess our interests just differ.

I have no intrinsinc interest in film. I have a deep interest in Photography. the medium of that difference really does not matter to me as Long as I get what I want.

nice pictures

Digital makes it easier and cheaper to get those pictures.

Huh? You obviously haven't read the document. It is the blueprint FOR our Republic. Article I defines the Legislative Branch; Article 2, the Presidency, Article 3-the Judiciary, etc. It wasn't intended to keep the government in check.

Now, you're mixing Amendments. #1 is freedom of speech; #2 is about keeping and bearing arms.

Not true. Our Forefathers never fathomed a government gone this awry.

How can you run a country without running the people?

Huh?

But without reading your mind, they have no way of knowing that a priori.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, especially for an imaginary activity.

If you think that the Constitution protects you from people saying anything to you, you're sadly misinformed. The Constitution doesn't even protect you from someone getting up in your grill and reading you the riot act.

You must have had the most warped, liberal teacher for American History. There was no such thing as "big business" in America back in our Forefather's days. What a ridiculous statement to make.

It's a variation of the wedgie. You don't want to know the details.

Well, let's see. I'm almost 20 years older and >100 pounds lighter than Chris, but I exercise daily, eat right, come from the hometown of Rocky and change my underwear daily. How's 3:1 sound to you? ;-)

"Let's get it on!"

Is that the same animal?

Randy

No, wolverines are much meaner and more uppity...oh wait, you meant the animals, not the Alumni of U of M. ;-)

Let's see. I am much faster than people assume is possible and I am brutal and accurate and NEVER EVER fight fair. when fighting only one thing counts. WIN, do not lose.

I have been assaulted in public places twice and in fights 3 or 4 times and won everyone one with fewer than 3 shots.

but you keep your odds it will make my winnings that much higher. :-)

Chris Taylor

Chris, Just so there's no misunderstanding, I have no desire to "really" fight you or anybody else in this forum. I was only having a little fun with Kurt and others. Seeing the :-) at the end of your comments makes me believe that you are only doing the same. I'm sure that this won't be the only issue that you and I don't see eye-to-eye on and I wouldn't want either of us to feel threatened by voicing our opinions. I don't know about you, but "I'm a lover, not a fighter". Hell, I even offered to buy JI a beer at LDRS2004. ;-)

Seemed like a low risk offer to me. What are the chances I would even be allowed? Near zero.

Jerry

Blame me, Mark. I seem to be quite adept lately at "stirring the pot", as it were.

BTW, nebbish is today's word. Now where did DeMar get off to? I've got some mud to sling. ;-)

the :-) was taken as intended :-)

As long as its in good honest fun no harm no foul.

some are not so nice :-(
