While not as big of a milestone as some posters (that's what she said), for my 1,000th post I will let everyone ask me anything they want. You will get a truthful response, but I probably won't give away too much personal info. Fire away!!!!

What was it like cheering on your son at Nebraska? what emotions did you feel? What actions did you take to remove negativity?

Is rebellion against government ever justified?

Do memories still exist if you forget them?

Are insects conscious of life?

If you try to fail and do, did you actually succeed?

Not sure I understand. I had 1 son graduate from UNL (Raikes) several years ago. Youngest son a freshman at UNL (PGA Management program). Neither required me to cheer them on, other than to frequently remind them they are my backup retirement plan - so be successful!

Have a son at Creighton, who played on the golf team. Agonized a lot when he played junior golf, but when he played at CU I finally realized I could do nothing. So I just always looked on the bright side of everything to keep things positive, even when he wasn’t. (Also, my favorite daughter is at Creighton — so I am constantly conflicted)

1) Define rebellion. Actually, doesn’t matter — the answer is “yes”. Citizens constantly need to rebel against the federal government.

2) yes

3) no

4) no. Failure is failure

Pelini, Frost, Riley. **** one, kill one, marry one. Go

**** one: Frost (needs to take it up the *ss. Sorry to admit I defended him as long as I did)
kill one: Pelini (I imagine anyone that didn't play for him would really, really want to do that)
marry one: Riley (process of elimination, but he seems the most effeninate)

Toughy:
Why can I press a button on my phone repeatedly and it doesn't take?
If I slide my phone in my pocket it goes back 150 steps to a song I was listening to three days ago. A dumb one I had already gotten tired of.

Who was the best of the bad coaches post Osborne?
Give reasons.

This one is going to make my head hurt. The easy answer would be Solich, but I don't think he is/was a bad coach - more like average. Reason: he is probably the only one who understood the Nebraska culture and at least tried to maintain it. The hard answer Callahan. He had the best chance at success. He just threw it away.

As much as we would like to not believe it, technology is technology. Nothing works correctly all the time, but we have been conditioned to think everything related to phones and devices are perfect. They aren't.

Imagine two beings who look like pennies are on a table and imagine they are infinitesimally flat. In fact, they are totally flat because they live in flatland, a world that exists in only three dimensions (time, X and Y).

Assume the two beings are talking and me operating in my frame of reference (four dimensions) reaches down and picks one of them up. The flatlander left behind has just observed a "miracle". His friend disappeared without a trace. In reality, his friend didn't disappear, he went to another dimension (altitude) flatlander can't understand, but I can.

The question is....do some events people perceive as miracles happen because intelligent non-humans operating in five, six, or seven dimensions we cannot understand influence human events via intra-dimensional travel?

I said I would be truthful with my responses. I read this 2x and either didn't understand or didn't care. How about I tell you my bench press and 40 time instead?

In reality, there are way more things we don't understand than we do understand. Miracles are miracles no matter how they occur.

Is capitalism hurting the future of America and Americans?

In Arizona, in an incredibly arid desert, a Saudi Arabian farm pumps water from ever deepening wells to flow over hay and alfalfa farms. They ship the feed back to Saudi Arabia to feed to livestock. The small farming communities no longer can get water from their traditional wells.

Indefensible, but how is capitalism at fault?

Is Socialism hurting the future of America and Americans when the EPA assumes the authority to tell a farmer that it has jurisdiction over a water puddle on his property?

Could the Chinese purchase Kinder Morgan and ship all the fuel for the Western US back to China? If critical infrastructure wasn’t allowed to be purchased by overseas hostile nation states would that be called socialism?

(1) My question remains.
(2) You make a good point. You described corrupt capitalism and it needs to be exposed, but if you're looking for a politial/economic system that is faultless, good luck.

You’re making me miss the open scrolls.

Not capitalism per se, but my opinion is that as critical resources become scarce, at some point domestic protections should ensure American treasure remains domestic.

Just taking advantage of “anything goes” to go off topic.
