    Ron Paul speaks @ Southern Republican Leadership Conference

    Video of Ron Paul's SRLC Speech (BTW, Dr. Paul didn't win the SRLC straw poll :( .... Mitt Romney beat him and won it ..... by 1 whole vote .... :D)

    Pigs and buffets

    If it doesn't kill ya right ? .... :D But then on the other hand, they would never think of offering you their left hand in friendship, to shake (to do so is considered highly insulting) .... since it's the one they use to wipe themselves ..... Think about that one real hard next time ya...

    Are you being macromanaged?

    It would be a little tighter than I would personally care for .... but it could be done (safely and on time ;)) ...... depending on how rested you were when you got the call ......

    Are you being macromanaged?

    Well Dan ..... since you decided to go there - why not elaborate on exactly what "stuff" it was that Bolt "pulled" on you. I can say that Bolt has never even suggested that I not take a break when I informed Dispatch that I was going to (I have had them ask if I wanted a wakeup call :D) ...

    Chevy A-arm stop

    It's only "Ouch" until you get the new ones installed :D .... if you go with aftermarket parts like say, a set of Moog coil springs (Moogs for Moot !!), the parts cost shouldn't be all that bad (around $125 or so maybe ?) .... although I have no idea how involved it is to install them on that...

    America no longer "Free Country"

    That might be something that you wish to work on :rolleyes: - I know for me it is one I try to work on daily (although not always with success), for it is surely true that the highest function of perception and of the human mind is the ability to differentiate one thing from another. And an...

    America no longer "Free Country"

    I do indeed know it - as I attended both myself :D

    America no longer "Free Country"

    BTW, just as a point of clarification, none of what I have posted above is anything that I was "taught in school" - a practice which could be considered to be, and is, in fact, at times, indoctrination (IOW, enforced learning - not entirely dissimilar to what Pavlov used to make the dog drool...

    America no longer "Free Country"

    LOL .... what rewrite ? By who ? I'll assume that the above might be off as a consequence of memory (if yours is anything like mine :D), but the above as you present it, clearly has a lot of problems - the first being that a dictatorship doesn't inherently contain any left or right aspect - it...

    America no longer "Free Country"

    There's also a short little essay on the subject at the link below that is worth reading: The Political Spectrum Of particular note are a few of Ronald Reagan's words, in a speech (apparently there are a number of versions of it) in support of Barry Goldwater ..... they are worth knowing, and...

    America no longer "Free Country"

    Well, theoretically :rolleyes: .... because we are a democratic republic or a representative democracy .... at least that was what the Founders seemed to have had in mind about what we are supposed to be .... One can certainly argue to what extent the above is true at this point in time, and...

    Michelle Let the Cat Out of the Bag

    Why, thank you layout :) Got it ..... I understand. Welcome to the club .... FWIW, it is certainly not an exclusive one ... ;) For me personally, it is often a struggle - of having the necessary patience and self-control to fully formulate my exact thoughts on a matter ..... before I let...

    Michelle Let the Cat Out of the Bag

    I view it slightly differently ..... there was a means put in place to change it .... whether any change results in improvement is, of course, by no means assured .... Indeed .... :rolleyes: Ideally, yes, that should be the case ..... however the further a people are, in terms of their own...

    America no longer "Free Country"

    Yeah ..... it's pretty funny too, when you consider the foreign policy positions of some folks (who would believe themselves to be on the opposite side of the political spectrum), regarding "spreading democracy", "exporting freedom", all manner of foreign meddling, and the like .... they don't...

    April 2010 locations

    Doh ! I saw the E1 Sprinter with the air tabs but didn't realize that was you - I got in around 05:00 and didn't get up until around 14:00 or later (didn't see ya then .. but I wasn't really awake either) .... ya shoulda flagged me down before I scadaddled outta there :D I'm currently up in...

    Wayne, Good to see you on here - welcome - always nice to have additional resources, and being in Toledo, you are certainly on the beaten path for most here :D

    Sprinter engines

    Harmonic balancer issues are not entirely unknown (de-lamination of the outer portion from the inner, and sheared keyway on the crank - in both revisions, early and late) and there are issues related to the torque converter clutch lockup (it never locks up fully - it's always partial) The...
