The .223/7.62 is a varmint round. Useful for plinking rats at the county dump and not much else. No one needs a clip/magzine/whatever that hold more than 6.

They walked on the BLM takeover. Some may still be tried in Nevada. http://www.opb.org/news/ser... http://www.oregonlive.com/o...

I think you're confusing the .22LR rimfire with the .223cal? I can guarantee the .223 is not a varmint round.

.223cal is the equivalent to the 5.56mm used in our M4/M16 rifles. 7.62mm is much larger, equivalent to 30.06. Military uses it in belt fed weapons like the M240 and some sniper rifles.

Who knows what the far distant future will be like? No one really knows.

Yet, for some reason, my gut tells me that future Archeologists will be digging through our landfills and they are going to find a cache of Zinke No-Bow medals and they are going to speculate about what kind of people we were.

Then they will abandon digging around in our landfills, fill in the holes and then forbid anyone to dig there again.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't the Keystone pipeline a crude oil pipeline and the flares at the well from methane gas? So how is building an oil pipeline going to stop burning off methane gas.

Lyndon LaRouche keeps talking about using nukes to blast irrigation ditches across the Arabian desert and the Sahara.

Probably. They used to be quite high-profile; I wonder why that stopped?

I assume all these blue-sky Republicans from the largely uninhabited western states think that all this extraction and subsequent pollution isn't going to affect them, and they'll get up every morning and see the wide open spaces and their breathtaking beauty like they always have and think it's ludicrous to suggest that the end result will be air like Beijing that can be cut with a knife.

When are finals over? I can think of a number of post-finals stress relief activities.

Probably safer than the banks.

And sincere thanks to Dok for explaining how to pronounce his name in terms that I can understand.

That was probably Stache's. Saw a lot of great bands there.
