I was thinking along these lines today...If Biden should pull off a win, then it shows that the Great American Experiment of freedom, liberty, individualism, self reliance finally came to a crashing halt.Quote:

Perhaps an inevitability...when I was a kid you could tell who the rich ones were by their cars, clothes, houses...everybody else was pretty much cruising around the same level. But in the last 40 years those that wanted to accel figured it out while so many others just couldn't keep up...along with everyone trying to "look" rich when they weren't. Spoiled, fat. lazy and stupid. Bring everyone down to their level 'cuz you just can't get to theirs.
If America goes down the tubes history will show it was because we ate ourselves alive. Too much freedom was too much to handle...isn't that crazy?
Perhaps a big ole dose of government subservience is just what the doctor ordered to wake Americans up to the ills of socialism. It might get bad, but it won't stay bad forever. The American spirit is too resilient for that.Quote:

Maybe this is it...the big showdown...not a long, slow slog but a battle Royale...only one will come out on top.
We'll find out just how tough they are in a few weeks.
Ha! Reminds me of the research I've been doing in the past two years regarding truck campers. Just because you have a truck doesn't mean you can slap anything on it that you want...you gotta consider the GVWR. Surprisingly, more than half the rigs I've seen (chatting up owners on road/camping trips) are overloaded...and those owners that have any concern about it at all have sunk lots of money into the suspension to accommodate what they're hauling around.Quote:
