Check Costco or Sam's Club for a Brisket. Don't buy the real big ones; they come off old, tough cows. Look for one around 8 pounds, less if you can get it. Better to smoke two 7's than one 14!

in HS i was ultra conservative. even broke up with my girlfriend at the time because she had a cigarrett.

i was pro life

i was pro free speech in music (kind of not going with my other leanings).

i was against joining the military because i didnt want to be told when to get up, go to bed, and stuff like that. i was extreemly independant. i still respected anyone in the military, actually admired their emotional strength for doing what it takes to be in the armed forces; and supported the gulf war fully (graduated in 1991).

i was anit tree-hugger hippies. i hated the hippy Edie Brickell and New Bohemians listening chicks that didnt shave their pits and the wussy guys that tried to make me seperate my soda cans and bottled and stuff.

hmm pretty much nothing has changed, except maybe my leanings on music. ice T's cop killer song went too far, and that changed some of my views. other than that its all the same, some convictions are even stronger.

Toad

I will have to call costco, I was leaning towards a nine pounder but two sevens sounds good hehe, all I could find so far was 3 pounders.

How good are smokers like this?

Smoker on Amazon

Holden,

I know what you mean. The development of Allen Guth's inflationary theory, plus recent studies postulating the existence of a parallel brane less than an electron removed from our own and interacting with it, has only added to the confusion.

Wish they'd make up their damn minds.

Regards, Shuckins/Leggern

guns - I think they should be less regulated than now, this hasn't changed

taxes - Back then I believed all the good things they told me about the socialist state in school..

military - I've always taught we spend too little, even more so now.

abortion - I've never been against it.

gay rights - Back then I didn't give it much thought, now I think they should have equal rights.

death penalty - I've always been against it because of the innocent who will certainly die.

government - See "taxes".

enviroment - I'm a bit more enviromentalist than back then.

drugs - I was a little anti-drug, but now I believe that the only solution is regulation rather than ban.

church and state - I've never been religious but I was a member of the church back then. I've always been for separation, which we don't have.

immigration - Back then I was outright racist. I'm no more racist, but I don't think we shouldn't take too much people we don't need.

By our standards I was in the middle back then, now I'm in the right at least when it comes to economics.

I was not as kind or sensitive in high school as I am now.

am not pro abortion.. think it is simply killing in late term... not against killing but think people should own up to it. they usually have to sooner or later anyway.

gay rights? no such thing. they are people they have people rights.

environment. we should use it but not willfully destroy it.. that goes for littering too. we should replace as much as we take when we can. the only real solution is a good plague or war tho.

guns... allways figured they were a tool. A much needed tool so long as there are bad people in the world... turn on the news if you think the bad people are going away any time soon... I think they have gotten more sociopathic if anything since high school.

Highschool?

Two goals: getting laid and getting high

Today?

Trying to figure out if anything has really changed.

Pongo · « **Reply #25 on:** June 29, 2004, 10:30:19 AM »

In highschool I dreamed about getting laid by the 23 year old babe that taught my home room.

22 years later..
I'd probably be more interested in her daughter.

This is an interesting topic. I have my twenty year high school reunion coming up in three weeks, and I was emailing with a friend of mine from high school who was the working definition of a Liberal Democrat way back then. He is now a card carrying Republican. I would never have thought that possible, but people can and do change.

As for me......

Guns- Then, pro gun control. Now, sitting on the fence, undecided.

Capital Punishment- Then, against. Now, completely for capital punishment. Let'em fry!(yes, I would pull the switch)

Abortion- Then, Pro choice. Now, Pro life. Funny how having your own child can change one's perspective on the sanctity of life.

God- Then, chronic doubter. Now, chronic doubter. Agnostic, I suppose.

Taxes- Then, didn't care. Now, I see taxes as a neccessary evil, although I believe a balanced federal and state budget each year should be mandatory.

Military- Then, we spend too much. Now, we spend enough, but are we spending it on the right things?

Environment- Then, tree hugger/whale saver. Now, tree hugger/whale saver. Death to Amreekan SUV's!

Gay Rights- Then, equal rights for gays. Now, equal rights for gays.

Drugs- Then, never tried them. Now, never tried them. Anti-drug, I guess.

Immigration- Then, what? Now, no problem, we could use more Canadians in Minnesota.

Education- Then, pro public education. Now, pro public education.

Unions- Then, pro union. Now, pro union.

Political party- Then, strong Democrat. Now, Independent.

I'm gonna go check out some pron real quick. Then I gotta go to class.

I was a lot more conservative in High School.

But the one constant has pretty much been:

Then: **** the poor.
Now : **** the poor.

So most people think I'm a republican.

Hmm interesting banana!

You had a few I didn't

Imagration. Then I was all for cracking down on ilegals. Now I am all for cracking down on ilegals, and closing the borders. I think it is even more important now, since terrorists I am sure know they can walk right over the southern border. I am also for imagration reform. We need workers to work the fields? Set up a program for it and make it all legal so we can do background checks. ETC

Education I was pro public school, I am now for school reform and or vouchers. I think schools should get back to thebasics teach kids about reading, writing, math, history and science. Leave "life lessons" for the parents and the universities.

Unions. Anti then, and anti now. I think the government offers most of the protections unions were needed for back in the day.
