I don't know where you are living but the car scene is well and alive. Let me ask you are you out at the late night meets that you were in your 20's. I am not but they still go on I know some younger guys. I could get into a hour long rant on government and freedoms.
I'm old/schooled. Early to bed/early to rise, makes a man healthy/wealth/wise. Junk words as many have died at an early age do to working themselves to the bones. If I had known I would live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
They are shutting down all trade curriculum's at the High School levels for lack of interest/funding for they think that EVERYONE should be college educated.
Be prepared for the fall of the U.S. [coming soon] from within, as Abe Lincoln [I Think] said . Too much power to the few who make laws for the many, and won't enforce them for fear of being kicked out of office where they write laws to protect and benefit themselves and no one else can get those benefits. If you don't believe, just Google
benefit laws for members of Congressmen/Senators/House of representatives.
I say more lead and powder to clean up the vast majority of protestors who for some reason think their thoughts and ways are what is best for you and me. I have never seen a Confederate statue hurt any person, black or white, and there are NO slaves in the U.S. today being sold. Hell, I'm Scotch/Irish and don't wear anything that says my life matters more than yours.They will replace them all with anyone that is black and try to wipe out History of the War Between The States and what it was truly fought over, and slavery had nothing to do with it at the beginning of the War. Even Abe was willing to let the Southerners keep the slaves if they would just abide by the Yankee Imperialists rules. Look at what happened to the Indians of the U.S. who were native to this land well before any came to establish themselves as settlers and to establish a Democracy.
They don't even teach U.S history in the U.S. at many schools today, for fear of offending someone of color/race/religious beliefs.
Maybe Grumpy won't kick me off here for these words of not hate, but words of wisdom from those that have persevered . No Democracy has lasted more than 200 years, with the exception of the U.S All fell from within.
Roman Empire was the last to fall in this manner, if I remember my World History correctly.
