We did a board breaking demonstration in karate using 10 inch pieces of 2x12s. After wards, we broke the larger pieces. I know that it's harder to break a shorter board but I would like to find a formula that shows how the pounds of pressure needed varies due to length and how it varies due to stacking more boards.

I am looking for a song by the Wright Brothers. The song is about the current state of affairs in America. I do not know the title or most of the lyrics.

The last two lines of the first verse are:

You can cuss at your teacher

But you can't say a prayer out loud.

the chorus is:

If you aint outraged, you aint paying attention.

If you aint ticked off, either you don't know what's going on or just don't care.

Everytime you turn around, someone's tearing this country down.

If you aint outraged, you aint paying attention.

If someone could please provide the song title and the album it can found in it would be a great help.

I am looking for a song I heard in school and want to play for my kids.

I'm not sure of the title but it's about a little boy coloring in school. The chorus contains the following:

"Flowers are red. Green leaves are green."

(something about this is the only way to do it)

But there are so many colors in the rainbow,

So many colors in the morning sun

So many colors in the rainbow

And I see every one.

If anyone knows the title, artist, and or album I would be greatly appreciative

It's a song about the moral decline of America. The chrous says "if you aint pissed of you aint paying attention"

It seems to me that Romney and Huckabee were splitting the conservative vote. So now that Romney is out will Huckabee be able to win enough delegates to send the nomination to convention?

Finance:

1 Raise limits on personal contributions to $5,000 per person.

2 Dissallow all PAC or bundled contributions. This includes funds from the political parties

3 300% fine for any candidate that accepts illegal contributions

4 Eliminate federal matching funds

Advertising

5 Ban all presidential campaigns from advertising on television. Congressional, state, and local candidates can only air ads in the locale they are running in

6 PACs may advertise on TV only to educate on issues. No Presidential candidate may be named

7 Advertising in print, on billboards and online are permissible

8 Presidential candidates may appear in televised interviews and debates

9 Violators fined $1,000 per second of illegal air time

These rules would force the candidates to use more grassroots campaigning. Which hopefully would result in a more knowledgeable voter base. It shifts the emphasis to canvassing and active participation by the public

Democratic philosphy demands taking money from the wealthy and giving it to the poor in order to raise the standard of living for the poor.

So my question is this: are there any democrats that have either given away enough of their income to bring themselves down to the poverty line for their family size, or that have invited enough homeless or unemployed people to live with them that their household size is large enough that they are below the poverty line?

If you know of a democrat that actually practices what they preach I would be very interested in learning their name. If not then how can you support a party that doesn't believe its own rhetoric?

Front runners out-

Edwards

Giuliani

Thompson

Second teir still in:

Gravel

Huckabee

Paul

I know he has some CFR approved positions but is he a member?

Also, where can I find a current list of CFR members. The most recent one I found is from 2001 and lists McCain, Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton, but not Romney, Guiliani, or Thompson, and I've seen several posts claiming they were members.

So please provide sources.

I keep seeing people listing several candidates as CFR members but I have yet to see a source. Where can I find a complete list of current and past CFR members? I didn't see one one the CFR webstie. Also, I know Ron Paul is not a member but what about Huckabee?

I think it would be interesting to know what they REALLY think, but would that be an unconstitutional violation of privacy?

I am looking for legitimate reason why Ron Paul is more qualified to be President than any other candidate. Please do not bash Ron Paul or promote another candidate on this thread as I will be asking about some other candidates as well. Also, please note that there is only one Hillary Clinton and half of Americans are Republicans. Therefore, the arguments that a) "At least he's not Clinton." and b) at least he's not a Democrat." are not valid qualifications as those qualities are shared by my aunt, and I wouldn't trust her to run a lemonade stand.

Specifically, I am looking for

1) a voting record that shows consistency in what he supports.

2) evedence of good moral character

3) historical evidence that his ideas are good for the economy (ie. when Xyz lowered taxes, unemployment dropped by X%)

4) Evidence that he will stand by his convictions even if they are unpopular

5) In what way is he superior to the other candidates of his party?

I am looking for legitimate reason why Fred Thompson is more qualified to be President than any other candidate.

I am looking for legitimate reason why John Edwards is more qualified to be President than any other candidate. Please do not bash John Edwards or promote another candidate on this thread as I will be asking about some other candidates as well. Also, please note that none of the candidates are George W.

My supervisor came up with this one last week after going to a funeral and noticing how many people in their early to mid sixties were buried in the graveyard.

Anyways, here's her theory:

In order to solve the problem of the baby boomers going on social security and not having enough workers paying in, the government, instead of raising taxes or cutting benefits, is going to start killing people off as they enter their retirement years. This is why so many politicians are pushing for universal health care. They're going to use the experimental drug programs and government managed health care to kill people off.

No I'm not really serious about this. I was just wondering if anyone else had heard this. Either way I thought it would be a fun conspiracy to spread. Any thoughts? Any real (or not) information that we can use to expand this would be appreciated. Mostly I just want to see if my supervisor really did invent a new conspiracy theory or if someone beat her to it.

Other than law enforcement and national defense

Personally, I couldn't come up with anything. And since the private sector is always more efficient than governments, the question arises, "why is the government still involved in areas other than law enforcement and national defense?"
