Maybe it's time for us to take a stand, all Americans, set a date, not work that day and have well organized peaceful marches thru out our country while it's still ours. It is time to DEMAND this is OUR country and we will not put up with this crap any longer. Cut out all this corporate greed. We all have to feed our families. I have a feeling if this goes on too much longer the day will come where there will not be such a peaceful march but a bloody one.

we are on the same page for sure. I wonder if people in general care enough yet? I fear we will probably need another Great Depression before people really begin to care. Issue is we don't have real poverty in this country and folks become lackadaisical. The folks that came out of the GD and the generation after valued saving, purchasing within their means v. buying a house at 8-10x annual income, racking up $20K in credit card debt buying luxuries/toys, etc.
that said, I told some co-workers around election time I would really like to see a "null" vote that says "try again jackasses". Ex, if Obama got 33%, McCain got 33% and "try again jackasses" got 34% they had to get us new candidates and the existing Prez (Bush) would remain in office until another could be elected. Then we might actually get a real offering, cuz the last few elections have left a lot to be desired IMHO. I would have gladly marked "try again".
z066 - I had a restaurant for a short period and man that was Hell. I feel for you - it takes sumpin' special that I don't have. I have tried to support "mom and pops" for years now even before I had my place and continue to try to do so. My self-employed friends in various markets (especially aftermarket automotive sales) are really hurting right now.
Back on topic - my red top is about 4 yrs old now in the race car and has been flawless bought it as it was Made in USA and I liked that - I actually live about 20 miles or so from Aurora now. My next one will be the lighter weight Odyssey tho' just for the weight savings mostly but making a statement to Optima is definitely an added bonus.
