pride and vanity can get in the way of knowing when a fight or a dialogue or conversation is worth something.
Sometimes, is this one of them, seems like it, we are forgetting the principle of cause I said so and I get to say so and that is that. Ain't got to explain nothing. Too many think that they can think better than the next guy and cause of it, the rest of the world should change and follow genius man or woman. people have lost their sense of when it is appropriate to object. this is an old theme for me who has been here just 3 years. some of you ancient ones probably went here we go again. I have no idea why it is like that but this is one instance that my wife would be proud of knowing not to make a mountain out of a mole hill. I do wonder what anyone would do once they found out why it is done that way. I imagine something along the lines of I see but..... See going now where on this and back to I am the boss and I said so. Know your place and know when it is time to debate an issue. NCASA, as you can see, I have the long version of your short version: better things to do. ![]() No more on this from me. Ron |

its not so much about caring, its more about not taking everything that your told as the end all be all. I could give a million examples about how questioning the way something was done is a good thing. and fyi, the examples you gave are really that pertinent to the discussion, they would be if you could prove that traffic lights not in RYG order or a stop sign being a different shape would make them more effective in their usage. A better example would have been, why do elections not require voters to show ID to prevent voter fraud, and only require a verbal declaration and an address of who they are.

Seconded.
The whole time I watched this thread, I had a line from "The Departed" running through my head... Ellerby: "Cui bono?" Who benefits? Colin: Cui gives a sh1t? It's got a freakin' bow on it.

Heck why is it in Houston, TX (or is it all of Texas?) all of their traffic lights run horizontally while almost everywhere else I've been they are vertical? That's what I want to know.
![]() I agree with Bret, I keep them separate and do as I'm expected in each sport. It really isn't something worth losing sleep over. On a side note, since you guys are having your fun with baseball, the official rules require that the umpire call "Time" to kill the ball. You guys wouldn't want an umpire to do something not by the book, now would you? ![]() 5.10 The ball becomes dead when an umpire calls “Time.” The umpire-in-chief shall call “Time”—
