Just read the results of this Fox News Poll - it says it all. How can so many people be so blind to the facts? How many of these do you need to see before you realize you're going the wrong way?



I know, I know.......... Just because it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck doesn't mean is HAS to be a duck. On the other hand, you can safely bet your life on the fact that if it's quacking it ain't a whale. How come so many people can't figure that out?

It looks like a really sturdy well made knife, comparable to a Becker BK2, or a K-Bar and is a fairly reasonable price. What do you carry?

I use Norton Anti-Virus on my computers and I've been getting a notice from Norton that my license is going to expire in December. So I renewed it today via one of their links, paid for it and got it all set up on two machines. I just happened to go out to their web store and the dang stuff was $20 less than they charged me. Sooooo, I called their tec support line and chatted with them. No problem, they told me. They would extend my license out an addition 7 months. As it turned out they actually extended it a full year but I'm thinking how many folks just renew and don't go to their store and see the price? How many other software upgrades operate the same way?

Now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They are a big company with a huge web site so I can certainly see how they might miss quote a price on a page and they did stand behind the lower price when I brought it to their attention. Still, $20 a head is a pretty good chunk of change.

I guess, my point to this whole thing is make certain you check the price when renewing software. Know what you are buying. ]]> General Chat Rick http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9415 http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9414&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:48:49 GMT I saw this and thought I would share it. Especially for some of us that sometimes don't give our youth the credit they deserve. Teach them right and they will do the right thing.

The Lyman's great plains .50 with 3F and round balls has a 1 1/2 inch group at 123 yards. I like that!

The TC encore 209 x 50 with pyrodex pellets and polymer tipped conicals have a 6 inch group at 75 yards. What's up with that!!! Do you know?

I guess I'll be doing some testing and a lot of cleaning. ]]> rebel http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9412 http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9411&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:16:17 GMT What's up everyone, my name is Shaun.

None at all. It was a "Pork Festival" from the very start.

Still, the people who have authorized many of these projects should be in prison.
