Sir Labraticus..

is there a reason you are pulling my old posts up - are you trying to say something

What's your pleasure -- that only what you agree with on current events should be posted here?
..and where would those references be found..
Fox Tee Vee and the White House?
I dunno, sounds like a rather uninvigorating
atmosphere.

Run a Google on Iraq any given day, and you'll find pages and pages from widely varied news publications all over the place raising questions, issues, information.

Contrary to what you may think (tho - I'm flattered ) .. this stuff isn't mine.

Lori, thanks and I agree. The mudslinging is foul.

24 - it's been at least a year you have attacked me personally in this way and I deal with it..
now on top of attacks it's personal lies regarding a board I went on briefly a year ago inquiring about a new medical protocol with a group of other mothers who were in contact with our peditricians and posting medical questions. Just what are you trying to accomplish by distorting that solely in an attempt to make me look bad?

Not to mention all you've said directly.

It's getting more than freaky.
Just cut it out and go after someone else for a while, OK? I don't need it.

Topics here are up for comment and debate on topic, not personal attack.

Saying it's an 'attack' on my part for calling you out on this again
is like saying someone who's mugged is personally attacking the mugger if they do anything about it.

Hmmm. ...Mo sure doesn't seem half the complainer that, uh, some other people around here have been...

That perception is caused by the fact that Mo has taken on the task of trying to get people to think, and feel some semblance of compassion. That is arguably the most noble act there is, because of the recursive nature of good thoughts That is if you spend an hour leading a human being to think, then they will sooner or later respond by seeing the necessity of encouraging yet another person to think and feel compassion.

quote:

What ever the government is trying to do is met with a complaint from you in the form of a cut and paste of someone else's attack, the more vicious the better! It actually seems your incapable of reasonable and rational thought.

Now WAIT JUST ON MINUTE! I have seen Mo being attacked MANY MORE TIMES than I have seen her attacking, or even ..'attacking'... (i.e. pointing out something they might reasonably do to increase some human happiness somewhere...) ANYBODY, even the most rabid repugnantans and war- and hate- mongering fascists among us!
There is nothing to fear but fear itself, said some famous military joker. Similarly, there is nothing that slould be hated but hate itself. But that hate should indeed be battled intensely! (a tricky endeavor, since, of course, guns don't work for battling hate (they backfire, in more than one sense...)
DS

quote:
Obstructing the administration is the be all and end all of your existence. Doesn't matter if it would be good for America or not. You might consider, even animals don't usually foul their nest!

-- yeah most don't- I guess amerikans are an exception to the rule!... (especially with bush at the helm"...). As fur abstructing the administration, this (fraudulently elected, as is widely known) administration is doing all kinds of illegal and immoral stuff-- they should be obstructed in that, by all and any means possible, don't you think? I know it's hard to admit we've been had, but I think the time has come to do so!
And to start the remediation process...

I used to love that show. Especially the episodes of liberal wacko's tripping out.

I'm only trying to help spread de word. I mean, I could never stick my name to these post that I use to feel were ridicules at best and downright enemy propaganda at worst. Lately I've had to start a process of rethinking my position.

It began in Oct. of 02, I remember it was a clear, cool day and I was out driving my American made Airstream van camper that had been built on a 1993 Ford. Purring like a kitten she was, when, was that a miss? Naw, couldn't be, but after a few more miles, there it was again. I wasn't all that concerned, it was more like one of mo's post, annoying.

My benevolent Ford dealer said, ``no problem'', we'll fix'em right up! So, computers, plugs, plug wires, coil, most of the distributor and a few other goodies were changed, all to no avail. They called and wanted to change the injectors and I told them it was clearly not the injectors. By this time my bill was $1500 and I still had the miss. I decided I could put up with the miss and went to pick up the van. They wrote on the bill that it needed the injectors changed but that I had declined.

The miss became like water dripping on a pie pan or one of mo's more grating post, I couldn't stand it. Back to the dealership, ok, change the damned injectors, but I'm telling you, that ``ain't'' the problem! It was like a scene from the musical Oklahoma, ``no it ain't'', ``yes it is''!

I went back to the dealership two weeks later and it was parked out back, ``waiting for parts to come in.'' Nothing was said about injectors. The place, normally a beehive of activity, only had two or three mechs, standing around scratching them selves. I didn't think much about it at the time. I went back two weeks later and decided to pick up the van and try to make the best of a bad situation. Another horrendous bill and the same old miss, though I was assured that it wasn't quite as bad as it was when it came in, and this was noted on the bill!

The miss was progressively (there is that word again, see it can mean something bad as well) getting worse. I took it to a private shop and left it. Two weeks later they started on it and the next day they called and said it needed a computer and there was none available and to come pick up the van! Back to the Ford dealership, I limped (by now she was hardly running) low and behold a new maintenance manger! I explained that I had $5500 in maintenance bills from his shop in a van worth now about $15,000 and I'm told I can no longer get parts for a 93 Ford. How can that be, they still have model A's and T's running around and I can't get parts for a 93?? What was he going to do? In true marine fashion, fix it, he said. Ok, I got no choice, it's all yours.

Six months later I find a mech in his street clothes working feverishly on my van and parts scattered all around. I discovered the dealership had been bought and sold twice since my problem began and I had been whip sawed, abandoned and ignored by and large by everyone. The good mechs had left and it takes time to build up a good stable again.

This has been a very unpleasant experience for me, dealing with what Carless calls the evil corporations and government entities that have conspired to enslave us by denying replacement parts for our old cars. Cuba doesn't have this problem and that's all they got is old cars! It works like this, a car is now considered obsolete after ten years and manufactures are no longer required to make parts for them. Well, they only make spare parts for three years then they put their stock up for bids to the after marketers. The after marketers pick up the parts for bids of 10-30 % on the dollar and sell to the public for less than dealerships. They ship some overseas to (guess where) to be copied and a supply line set up back to the states. As long as there is a demand, some magic number per month, all works well but when the number drops below that magic number, it becomes unprofitable to continue producing and warehousing that part. With the degree of computerization of the modern cars, I doubt if they will ever become antiques.

So what do you do when you find you just got screwed? Pick up your marbles and move on to a new game. Bought another Ford van camper, this one from Sasktoon Canada. It has a Ford V-10 engine, same as our Lazy Daze motorhome. It has a 102,000 miles on it and purring like a kitten. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have said that!

Here's a car story-- from no cars dave!--
Back when I was a "user", I hand an american car only once. It lasted about 2 weeks. It was a 'ford'; I had friends that had better luck with 'chevy's. Mainly, though I had volkswagon beetles- several, but usually only one that worked. I managed to get so I could fix almost anything on them. I even took one of the engines out to fix it, but never again did I get the heat working-- I remember a couple of us in that thing going to a gig several hours away (from Cleveland) in the dead of winter, pulling a u-haul trailer full of band equipment, FREEZING. and constantly scraping the frost off the windshield to see.... those were the days .

They are a fine little car! One time in my life, it was all I could afford, the little thing grew on me but was given to mother in law when I got married. I often get lonesome for the little thing and have thought of buying another.

I had a VW Rabbit, diesel, 5-speed in High school on the late 80's..

That very pale metalic green color, with liscence plates that said :

' Mo Mobile '

It was a great car, easy to parallel park in NYC when I moved down there for college..
you have to move it to the other side of the street pretty much every day.

But before that for a while I had an old Chevy Nova.

A real bullgog engine, only there was only one heat setting no matter what you did:
scorching!!!
So, I was known to be seen driving around with my windows open in witner

Had my eye on a light blue bug that needed work and a '66 Mustang convertable in High School, but Dear old Dad wouldn't let me get them

Now I have a 1990 Volvo 240 wagon, cobalt blue..also a stick.

Needed a place for my American Bulldog, Miles (as in Davis, Davo -- )

Did you know they have converters for diesel engines to run on recycled vegetable oil? (you get it feom restaurants and other sources)
I met a guy with one of those VW Rabbit trucks they made for a while, with the converter.

Fuel has lots of power and is great for the engine. (imagine that, there are other ways!)

Only about 800 bucks to convert. I think the info site is something like
"Greaser.com" ..

I really need a 4WD where I live, maybe I can get a veggie powered diesel something and adorn it in political dissent art.
(like peace signs, since peace stands for dissent in this day)

Dissent is patriotic!
