Rabbit: any recollection of the title or author of that book? It sounds pretty interesting [for a bookworm] and I need something to read.....

The childish name calling and scurrilous [look it up, ok?] characterizations are the clearest example of rabid FOAM one could ask for - look in the mirror, huh? I've been looking for such examples [name calling, derogatory labels, etc] from the "other side" and not finding many - but there's an...

Agree with the Star. I liked Palin at first, but then learned a few things that made clear her priorities were more about herself and her family than anyone she's elected and paid to represent. [And I'm not talking about her wardrobe, either.] She looks like another 'me first' politician, and we...

You meant that in a GOOD way, right? :D If you can possibly attend, you won't regret it!

If you're free to turn down an unprofitable load, what's the difference? Same result, no? :confused:

I knew a t/t driver who kept his 10 spd bike strapped to the front grill of his truck. Whenever a tollbooth attendant pointed out the bike, the driver would say "Well, he shouldn't have been going so slow!" :D

I've done both, and as Leo says, it's just a matter of deciding which 'warts' you can live with. The van is claustrophobic and lacks the power and facilities for meal prep, if you'd rather do your own [I would]. The truck requires logging, HOS compliance, waiting in line for fuel, constant...

I always wonder when the school is going to cross the road - I've never seen one do it yet....

"Liberal"? Really? :rolleyes:

Absolutely - you offering one? :D

I apologize to everyone for taking what ought to be a private disagreement public. In my defense, I made every effort to resolve it in private first, but got nowhere. When I am accused of something, I'm not going to ignore it - call it a personality defect, but it's how I feel. And for the...

Not to defend socialism, but: the folks who get good grades aren't necessarily the ones who studied to earn them, [I've passed a lot of tests without studying at all:D] and the folks who fail aren't necessarily guilty of laziness - there are reasons for failure unrelated to study ie: 'test...

Nor did the posting of a bit of a PM, but you didn't object to that, did you? I have the right to defend myself against false accusations, misleading portrayals, selective quotes, etc, and when they appear, I will. Would you do otherwise?

BTW: the "old saying" [mis]quoted is: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't THROW STONES." The 'naked' part exists only in your mind.

IMO, the only wasted vote is the one unused. And Leo's argument is a self fulfilling prophecy: as long as people think that a third party can't win, third parties have little to no chance of winning. If we want things to change, we have to change how we do things - duh! The chasm between diehard...

Dang - there goes the perfect 'get out of jury duty' line I was planning to 'borrow' from LM.....;) Seriously, thanks for the pat on the back - 'preciate it.

In spite of believing that people who harm children are the scum of the earth, [and anyone who harmed mine would be literally looking for the truck that ran him over], I think the whole sense of hysteria is sad. Because there are plenty of folks who no longer feel comfortable with their innocent...

Poorboy: I'm just guessing here, but I've read of drivers who 'doctor shop' to pass the exam, or just forge a certificate - maybe that's why a carrier would want the exams done by their own doc. As to the questions, they have all been asked before, so a lot of reading will provide the answers...

Been there, done that, lol. :) Thanks to TC for the help.
