PTM, since you seem to be a Houston guy I'm gonna let you in on a little secret that I've never revealed. I once committed a crime. No one knows about it.

My parents brought me and Bro to a Houston Astro game when the Dome was new. It was amazing. 8th wonder of the world. But our motel was near the old Colt 45 stadium. I was intrigued by it. It was locked up. But I was a skinny guy and was able to shuffle my body under the locked gates.

I went up to the press box and there were old newspapers. Lots of wasp nests. And some posters. And a pic of a guy named Carl Warwick. It was an old musty smell. I didn't take anything. Just crept back under the locked gates.

This is Carl...

Here you go, Zach. Here is the Astros ticket price chart. Here is the link: https://mlb.mlb.com/ticketing/pricing.jsp?c_id=hou&layout=gameflow

Here is a screenshot of the next 5 games:



Outfield Deck II: $5, $5, $5, $10, $10

Oh now you dun did it, boy. Now you're about to get tasered.

Interesting... I snuck into the Astrodome years after it wasn't being used anymore. There was football turf on the floor. Which is weird because the Oilers haven't played in the Astrodome in a really long time.

i've noticed in a lot of conservative southern men, and that's the complete inability to understand or respect a point of view outside of their own and the desire to resort to violence when their beliefs are challenged. It's pathetic.

Sounds more like the liberals I know.

In fact here's an article about it.

[University of Virginia professor Jonathan] Haidt’s research asks individuals to answer questionnaires regarding their core moral beliefs—what sorts of values they consider sacred, which they would compromise on, and how much it would take to get them to make those compromises. By themselves, these exercises are interesting. (Try them online and see where you come out.)

But Haidt’s research went one step further, asking self-indentified conservatives to answer those questionnaires as if they were liberals and for liberals to do the opposite. What Haidt found is that conservatives understand liberals’ moral values better than liberals understand where conservatives are coming from. Worse yet, liberals don’t know what they don’t know; they don’t understand how limited their knowledge of conservative values is. If anyone is close-minded here it’s not conservatives.

That would be a class thing and not an ideological thing.
