Reasons to agree Hiking is good exercise.  Images that agree : Lick Creek Road, Above McCall Idaho. My daughter with a stick and a flower that she found along our trip. (Photo: My brother, 2012) My brother's daughter carried our daughter on her shoulder, let her hold a big toad that she caught (James wouldn't hold it), and showed my kids the "zit tree". J was fast and stayed with his cousins, and so I got to walk slowly with Alison. My daughter and I on a rock (Photo: My brother, 2012) This is a big tree. Or as my youngest would tell us on this day, perhaps 300 times: "Trees are big". My daughter getting a ride from her cousin

Background / Context: This is something my dad would always say: "Mike is a good boy... when he's asleep". Sometimes when you have had a tough day with one of the kids, they can seem like little devils when they are awake, but when they are asleep they look like such angels. Images that agree : 2012-06-25. For some reason Phil does not like sleeping in beds.

The things you do, even if they are boring, are important.  If you put all your boring stuff on 1 post, and keep updating that post, you can keep from wasting reading it unless they go out looking for that boring post.  The act of forcing yourself to write, will help you realize what is going on. It will make you pay attention. And the unexamined life is not worth living.  Reasons to disagree Writing online will prevent you from being honest. It can be damaging to think your views are important, without doing the real work of ensuring that your views stand up to criticism, or without putting the effort to say things better than have been said before.

Images that agree : I didn't like my textbooks at school. Shouldn't we have Yelp, or consumer reports for textbooks?

Reasons to agree : Illinois doesn't have any mountains. Without mountains you don't have good rapids, sking, waterfalls, canyons, views, climbing, etc. Illinois doesn't have very many clean rivers or lakes. Millions of people go to visit Starved Rock State Park each year. Reasons to agree :   Having come from Idaho, I can say that Idaho might be lacking in metropolitan attractions as much as Illinois lacks in scenic natural attractions. We have been to the Zoos, and Major Museums. Fine dinning isn't a big attraction with little kids, we don't go to plays, musicals, or any of that stuff.
