>>I'm with you on this wild ride. I just wish I had a ticket for the front row.

If you're in and don't lose your position to an ealry exit, you will be very hapy with your seat once the show begins.

Hell, the show hasn't even begun, IMO. but if you're paying attention, you will notice them dimming and brightening the lights.

OT>>>I just wish I had a ticket for the front row.

One Hundred and Eleven years ago...my Great Great Grandpa on my Mothers side was a Prussian who had the title of choachmen working for the Kaiser.(ie he shoveled shit in a horse barn, that's the way it has come down to me)

He worked his butt off for what he believed in, and that was America. To get here and get established...man that was his goal. And he did it, bringing each of his eight sons to this country.

That is why Patton's speach meant something to me personally if no one else even though I'm 1/2 german, I could relate/and lament...the 'shoveling shit in Louisiana comment'...that's where I came from, and why I'm here in America today..When we came here we were not going to do shit shoveling anymore, that was the line I got.

That one Man's vision back then effected the entire outcome for hundreds if not thousands of us now...I AM PROUD for the opportunities presented. This being one.

And I am proud of that family...one of his eight sons was my Great Grandpa...he was a farmer. His homestead now sits on a 1000 acre site in the U.P. of Michigan...being transported from one end of the state to another by Truck and placed on land bought from hard work and clear thinking. Members of my family today, are some of Michigan's largest private land holders....and who gives a shit?

That ole German....

Find a Paridigm...

........I just had to say that...even though it don't relate, it explains the passion passed to me. Which will explain me to mine.
