I'm just a lurker here, but i really love this thread. Ya'll provide agreat edjumacation, but mostly I admire your grit in the face of the tide going agin ya for so long. But like you, I know it will end badly and it looks like it may finally be soon. Two things- I saw Easy Al on TV and could not believe my eyes and ears. I mean, this was a no bullshit, tell it like it is ( in ENGLISH ) speech that even Abby, Joey, and troops will get. They'll ignore or spin of course but in their cold hearts they will know. The other thing- i realize BGR and Paperboy are somewhat irritating, but the thread needs thier posts. If all we read is ya'll agreeing with each other, a body doesn't understand how anyone could be so blind as to not see it also. (of course, I think they are blind too but thats another story). The BGR's and PC's provide insight what the masses are ingesting and adhering to from CNBC, etc. Useful to me to see that viewpoint. But again, thanks to everyone for your posts, explanations, links to great articles, etc. P.S. I'm an Austinite like you Luc. I drive around in a green Jag XRK ragtop- honk if you see me! |
