Many Americans labor under the idea that we live in a democracy. People seem to love democracy, until they find themselves in the minority on an issue! That's because a democracy is governed by the will of the majority, sometimes to the point where people talk about "the tyranny of the...

I don't get the legalese of all this but it doesn't really matter. I guess since Saddam was in U.S. custody (like the ones held in Cuba) which he was turned over to the Iraqi government AFTER the trial. Gave his lawyers the right to appeal to the U.S courts. Too bad it wasn't the Sunni's...

John Kerry appeared yesterday on the CBS talking-head show, "Face The Nation", to discuss the war in Iraq with Bob Schieffer. Just as in his speeches on the Viet Nam War, Kerry has slipped into deep Left-speak in an attempt to gain national traction for his pose as a party leader. In fact, in...

Terry..that was $103,400 to be exact gross in Canadian funds...We worked the whole year except for one week, we had NO life whatsoever. Last year 2005 was down to normal (whatever that is) $86,600 Canadian.

The new Tundra plant was to be operational this winter in San Antonio TX. Its a monster truck full North American sized and will compete with any of the big 3 full sized trucks. They better look out if Toyota builds it like the rest of thier vehicles, game over.

My take: Toyota wouldn't touch Ford with a ten foot pole. Ford has nothing to offer Toyota, nothing but debt,ageing plants and the UAW. The difference between the two is like day and night.

I too would support Terry's recommendation, from what I've heard from Nations drivers and the rumour mill. They seem to excel in the Carolina's and GA.

*LOL* Yokes on me! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

T.H... I absolutely agree with ya. Here in Canada the minority rules.. All this crap of not saying Merry Christmas is just one case example. All these signs saying Happy Holidays. In all my 56 years the Christians and the Jewish have co-existed with no problems..Happy Honaka (sp)Never a...
