And Ed, when are you going to take off the Bert and Ernie underwear and actually DO something about society's ills? Considering your ratio of "auto-related" posts to "the-US-sucks-and-here's-another-reason-why" posts you obviously spend some time pontificating on the issue.

Your "hit and run" scheme does nothing but reinforce the notion that while you possess the ability of higher thought you lack the impetus to do anything with it other than whine. The world needs leaders, not another critic.



First off, I still do own a '98 Contour SVT. Just because I own one does not mean that my topic of conversation must be restricted the car, alone. The world is much bigger than the confines of my vehicle's engine bay. Secondly, I love the USA...so much so that I will make my voice heard at the ballot box and any other avenue where people are willing to listen, and, third, Socrates was the ultimate critic of ancient Greece and its many social injustices. Yet his dissenting voice....his strength of character, is why his name is known today - 2400 years after his death. Critics are as essential as leaders in a democratic society.

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. The weak can never forgive. -Mahatma Gandhi
