Lee should have taken DC after Bull Run. Things would have worked out much better.

Better for who? No one has ever benefited more from losing a war than the South

Clearing the benches would only encourage more antics. The only real deterrent would be the threat of a ball in your ribs or a fist on your chin, and the schools would probably expel a kid if he tried that.

Or go the super soft route and start ejecting players for some of this stuff, which I don’t think anyone wants

There would be a mortgage crisis like crash in rural America if the government took away farm subsidies right now

Haven't read all this thread but WTF did ABC pick a woman with three kids by two different baby daddy's to be the Bachelorette?

Because she has the IT factor. Like her or not, this is apparent on the Secret Lives show when she around the other women. She may be a horrible person, trashy, crazy, but her way compensates for some of that. Similar to Don Draper

It’s a shame that there isn’t more resorts set up like this. The only knock I have against Park City is the crowds, but it’s hard to blame them. If DIA were on the other side of Denver then Breck/Keystone/Copper would spread them out more evenly

Where do you think the next season is going to go? To me, it looks like the writers are setting it up for Harper to take down Yasmin, but with Yasmin transitioning into politics I’m not sure how that’s going to happen. Can’t be another season of a Harper successful short and a Yasmin reckoning but positive(in terms of her status as a player) pivot

You went to one of the most expensive places lol

I think that women in general needing any one man less than they ever have has a lot to do with it too.

The straw price depends on the type of genetics you want. Commercial, Registered breed, Bodacious? As far as the other cost it depends on if you have a trailer and are willing to haul them somewhere to be AI’d. The cheapest way I think, if you just want pregnant cows, would be to buy a bull and put him with your cows until they’re pregnant then sell him. But there’s risk to consider with that(death, overpaying at purchase). Would need to have the bull semen tested as well.

The music puts it over the top, not just the tone but how in sync it is with credits and background. Titanic does a great job of this as well, haunts you right into the movie.

The women he respected he didn’t sleep with on the show.

If you’re referring to Joan, Peggy, and Anna then I agree; he had a greater respect for them. But I think he respected the others more than they demanded, given that they all knew he was married or knew what he was about, and certainly respected women more than men in general, given his whore house upbringing and the weaknesses of the men in the show highlighted during their downfalls.
