Is it on a trailer? I guess it's not a 30'er then, is it. Which one is it?

sounds a little dinghy to me. :-)

Now that you have spent two days arguing politics with waitafrickin,
et al,,,,, what changed as a result? (aside from general opinions of
the participants?) Why not post your political nonsense somewhere
else? If you feel like you need to have a right winger for breakfast
in order to start your day, there are plenty of sites dedicated that
that sort of thing and where you'll also find rightwingers gathered to
dine on a leftie. You could have a grand old political ****ing match
almost non-stop. Shortwave's thread wasn't boating related, but it
didn't deserve to be hijacked and he didn't deserve to have you
challenging his politics.

The Iraq war is far from over. The general plan is to keep the US
engaged there and elsewhere until we spend ourselves into collapse,
much like Reagan accomplished with his policies that brought down the
Soviet Union. It's way to soon to start crowing that one side was
right and one side was wrong, or to demand that people "admit" a
mistake. We don't know yet whether anybody was mistaken, or if so who
that actually was. Crowing about being correct from the start at this
point in time seems a lot like all of the "purple finger" celebrating
that some folks engaged in when the Iraqi's appeared to have elected a
government. It's way too soon, ill advised, and even if it proves in
the end that the anit-war factions were "more correct" than the pro-
war factions nobody will be well served being forced to eat a shame
salad. Success is the art of being right at least 51% of the time.
It's good practice to respect the sincere beliefs of people who
disagree with you, IMO.....there's certainly no point in trying to
change
them.

Bullfeathers. Pope John Paul II, Lech Walesa, advance of electronic
communications, and plain overdue failure of the commie system brought
down the Soviet Union.
Reagan accomplished nothing but the nurturing of latent dittoheads
and union busters.
You sound like Fox News and the other Reagan butt-kissers.
How's it going with the boat?
