This whole smoking thing is nuts! Smoking is a legal thing to do. Period. There should be no government restrictions on something legal that is done by adults. Smoking is legal, no matter what anyone says about the side effects. The government needs to get out of our lives! Businesses are private. The owner should be the only person with a say in what legal products are allowed in it and what aren't. If he wants to ban smoking, fine. If he wants to allow it, fine. Same goes for shirts, shoes, backwards hats, bubble gum, pop corn, cans of paint, and anything else you can think of. No one forces me to go into the business. I decide where I want to go. If I don't like smoking, I won't go there. If I want to have a smoke, then perhaps I will. WE are being stripped of our freedom.

Sporting News

I assume he was wondering if there is any news about another football game this season.

Thats for sure.

I don't know. For some reason, I am skeptical.

LINK Story in the Herald. Hopefully this is a step towards a UND-NDSU football game.

Does anyone think this logo would be very good? LINK to Picture

GMC and Chevy are the same. Ford is the only major American car I will buy.

Thanks, interesting stuff. They spelled her name wrong...

Yeah, as did I.

It is interesting that UND's attendance should change so much from year to year.

Well, this clearly shows that the leaders down there have there own agenda. No way around it, the res is one corrupt place.

Has anyone whispered "Lacrosse" into anyone's ear (preferably a high up ear)?

How does a thread on the CHL and NCAA turn into a thread about highways in ND? I think ND is an awesome state. We have diverse and beautiful scenery. Fields growing everything. The badlands, the turtle mountains, Missouri river, and many other things. ND is a great state. There are worse roads then those in ND. Ever been on 2 lanes across Nevada? When you get right down to it though, it is all personal opinion. And in reality, there is unique and pretty scenery pretty much everywhere.

I would say it does have some meaning to football. It shows how good their all around athleticism is.

Thanks. Nice article.

Good article. Thanks for posting.

We got Vista at work, and there were lots of hassles. For instance, configuring the printers took a long time. Now though most everything works good. I was just over at my friend's tonight, and she has a new computer with Vista on it. Of course, her flash drive didn't work...

The link does not work.

Banners would be a good addition.

Good points. All except the one about riding not being appealing. You just have to be a hardcore. I ride a Kawasaki Tengai and do a fair amount of gravel roads and forest roads. There are all kinds of places to ride in ND. Also, Red Lodge is only about 10 hours away or so. But if I won a chopper, I would probably sell it as well. I am not into that type of bike.

It is the same thing. Answer the rest of the question as well. You left out some of it. Do you know why Bismarck, ND was named Bismarck? Because they wanted to entice German investment to come there. In other words, to "pump it up". How about the Trojans and USC? How about the city of George, Washington? Again, should the first president's family be able to force that city and the state it is in to change their names? For that matter, should North Dakota have to change its name? How about Sioux Falls and Sioux City? How about Sioux Tools? Why is it Irish people don't have a problem with Notre Dame? The Green Bay Packers? After all, packers is a nickname for a group of people. Same with the Purdue Boilermakers. How about the New Orleans Saints? I am devoutly Catholic. But I realize it would be stupid and insane to protest New Orleans' use of the name "Saints". The same can be said of St. Paul, Minnesota. Sports teams, Cities, and Companies are named for something people are proud of and want to support and that means something to the supporters. No one names a company, city or sports team, or etc for something disgraceful or something no one wants to support. No one would name their teams, company, or etc. Idiots Inc. or Fighting Dummies. What it comes down to is the Natives are on a strictly political agenda. Why do you ask when Lakota/Dakota people first moved to the Devils Lake region? It has nothing to do with the debate.

Good points. That makes sense. Thanks.

hermit, you have yet to answer my question.

Now why would anyone put sound absorbing material on the ceiling?
