94 Camel

Looks like end of discussion.:sssh:

I was waiting for someone to make this point.:thumb:

If you are talking about the type of labor job where you are an easily replacable employee, I will agree with you.

Off topic, but do you believe anybody should be responsible for their own actions and personal sucess, or is it always the the fault of a third party when people make bad decisions or are not economically sucessful. In today's society, everyone is made aware of health risk of smoking by the time they are old enough to watch TV.

Its certainly not the top one percent, but I had a family member go from working for someone else his entire life to starting a business in this horrible economy where his income has climbed to four or five times what he used to make. It takes initiative and risk.

Read your post and tell me that it doesn't point to his transfer having been entirely for athletic reasons. Therefore, he was not within those rules.

Well, obviously if you actually think going to Highlands High School gave him the skills to play in the NFL, then there is little use discussing the matter. Obviously he is not a fan of Cov Cath if he transfered out his senior year. Of course, rules were designed to keep that kind of thing from happening.

Actually it is entirely easier than you think. Corn and soy are planted and reaped in an almost identical process with identical equipment. I was hunting on a 30,000 acre corn farm this year that is so big of an operation that the owner has $15,000,000 in labor, seen, fertilizer, gas, and maintanace cost per year. The owner told me he sells every little piece to China, not because of any subsidy, but because their demand is so high that is where he makes his highest profit. Tobacco profits are lowering due to less national demand, some of which is caused by government sin tax on their product.

Without the motivation and possibility for people to move themselves in that category, where is the motivation for innovation provided in our economy. Otherwise, why should I become great or do great things if I can't be financially rewarded for it.

As a good friend, please elighten me, do his parents now reside in the house that they originally left for the apartment?

I don't think him being not allowed to play at that point in his career would have cost him either a scholarship or a second round draft pick. I also think that this entire issue springs from many parties involved only asking what is best for Mitchell, except for the BOC. Of course, if he was afraid of their being reprocussions to his actions, he could have played his senior year out at the school that he had already dedicated himself to.

Are you telling me that Highlands High School doesn't refuse kids enrollment? The kid went from one highly acredited school to another. Thats my point, there is not another community in this state the same size as Ft. Thomas that has this kind of representative and judicial backing. The funny thing about these argument are that they are based on improper procedure and decision making by the KHSAA. I wonder how many people actually believe that the Mitchelle's moved to their first floor apartment and lived there full time. Hindsight points to the BOC's feelings on this issue having have been correct.

Tobacco would not have failed, profits would have gone down in the short term. Farmers would have started to produce other products for a short time, until a shortage of corn would have caused prices to go up and more farmers to switch back to corn.

I understand your feeling on executive bonuses within failing companies. I just would never allow myself to believe that this country should embark on a policy that begins with the idea wealth should be taken from someone who has accumulated it and given to someone else. Of course, we already have policies that match those ideals.

I am refering to the original ruling where every presiding member ruled that he was ineligable. Not one descending member out of the group that was presiding. Obviously they weren't convinced of the bonified change of address.

Yes, they can refuse a kid enrollment in their school. Influence in the area of athletics is horribly different than trying to influence KY democrats that state tax base shouldn't be distributed per student. Please enlighten me as to which community of a comparable size to Ft. Thomas has more actual political representation and support living in their community. It truly shocks me that anyone would claim that Ft. Thomas doesn't have friendly support in KY state politics. Off topic, but truly amazing. As far as evidence, is it the BOC responsibility to bring evidence against the transfer's argument, or is it the tranfer's responsibility to convince the BOC. Obviously the BOC felt one way, and the courts felt another. Either way, the decision does wind up coming back to interpretation and opinion.

Are you saying that you are for wealth redistribution?

Excellent guess. Hence the begining of the process that creates "toxic assets." Nothing to destroy business like investing in the sub prime market.:thumb:

Yes I do, but it normally has to do with a lack of class or criminal convictions, or a combination of both. To each his own I suppose.

It is not bothering me. I am just wondering where the deep seeded hate for Manning comes from.

I didn't expect that you would agree with me.

Your likely correct. At this point all it is accomplishing is :deadhorse: However, I still do not see how anyone can claim this rule has been equally enforced.

:lol:

Had the transfer rule not been clearly stated and tested several times before this case? You are supposed to sit out a year under this type of transfer. Therefore, you can't transfer after your junior season and be eligable as a senior. You can make any type of claim you want in a courtroom. This rule is clear, they tried to get around it, it was denied by the KHSAA, so they went to more friendly authorities. Many kids have lost a year of eligability over this rule and Mitchell didn't. Clearly the rules are not equally enforced. Is some of this speculation, yes. The rules not being equally enforced is fact.

I will be very clear as to what I am saying in case I wasn't already. There is a power base from Ft. Thomas both in the state senate, and district courts, that are not going to go against Highlands program. They rely too much on support from that area both financially and politically to get elected. Everyone in the state knows that you are not supposed to be eligable when you change schools without a change of address according to the KHSAA. Highlands and Mitchell didn't want to follow those rules, so they went to a higher authority. They had enough political power to get the rulings in the courts, where many children and districts have not. It is truly nausiating to think that high school athletic rules are so heavily tied into political connections that some districts follow different rules than others.:puke:
