[quote=CA renter] . . . I’ve heard that Idaho has a rather large contingent of libertarians who believe they are living without benefit of govt money. They don’t account for the fact that they are safe from invading nations and gangs of thieves, and they apparently don’t count the roads to get into their communities, etc., but they are “independent”. They also don’t account for all the innovative products and medicines that were developed either in part or whole because of government funding. See, they’re living “off the sweat of their own brow,” according to them. . .?[/quote]
Lol, CAR, these “Libertarian Idahoans” must be aware that they’re not safe from their own many “bretheren” who have stockpiled their collections of personal weapons (some automatic) in their upright safes, ground safes and underground bunkers. Didn’t you know? They’re all getting ready for the “apocalypse” in 2012 :=[
One slightly sideways look or random drinking binge and all h@ll could break loose in one of those “idyllic” towns or mountain communities up there :=!
The state of Idaho is THE favorite destination and retirement haven for former disgruntled law enforcement personnel from everywhere (who likely took a [mental] disability retirement) and other social misfits who have “checked out” of mainstream society (or were formerly arrested in other states for possessing unlicensed firearms, possessing loaded firearms without a permit, etc).

i think some pay in between get the cheapest hs kid you can find for 10 bucks an hour and 200k is probably good for beach lifeguards. it’s gotta be difficult. you want people who are dependable and professional. it’s probably a net gain for society, like highways, to have a system of lifeguards.[/quote]
Funny, at all the public pools I’ve ever been to during the summer months, all the lifeguards were some HS kid that probably didn’t get paid much.
Of course, they were always expert and very strong swimmers because they were on the swim team and or played water polo and all had water rescue, CPR and first aid qualifications.
