    Bang on.

    In regards to sports teams, Seinfeld says we're cheering for laundry. Thought that was accurate, and funny.

    And it doesn't help when the guberment is working with social media to suppress information.

    Yeah, but that is nothing new. That has been going on Since the 1950s.....just a different type of media. Government also involves themselves in religious affairs to coerce the masses. look at the clergy response teams. Why was it that hardly any churches stayed open during the scamdemic? A time when folks needed the guidance and wisdom of God and church the most? Which is the sole reason I no longer attend church. They show time and time again that they teach govt doctrine, not God's.

    The one thing the originators of the documents founding the country failed to do was put term limits in the system. They did think about it, even considered it in full debate. Most thought that like them, they would only serve a term or two and move on. In their idea, the elected government position was not a career path. Originally, the elected official only received a small stipend to help offset the cost of the position. Now that elected persons can become multi millionaires from the system, in salary and other “funds raised “ it has become an industry just like any other.

    I want to disagree. I am not saying that you are wrong, I just disagree.

    “But if I am not wrong, why do you disagree, Six?”

    Because there are poor Americans. Many of them. Financially speaking, my first thoughts would be of the Natives, BUT, there’s something much worse, IMO. So, the problem with your post that I would have is that you and I would not agree on what constitutes being poor. And yes, politics are as real as pro wrestling. If someone chooses to believe that the Undertaker came back from the Dead, who am I to debate them?

    Anyways, carry on. Six back quiet.

    Then most go on to become lobbyists. Get paid to wisper in the ear and coerce govt officials. How is that not bribery?

    Ok, let's discuss. People can consider themselves poor...sure, but that is a choice. Indians choose to Iive like they do. They can move, they can get a free education, they can choose something better. Yet choose not to. They like free crap and choose not to leave it. Before I moved into this place, I lived on a reservation. I now I've about 15 min down the road from one. They are everywhere here in Idaho. Those same folks have every opportunity I did in life, in fact....I would argue more. I don't have the govt throwing money at me, I don't have free health care, I don't have free housing. Life is a series of choices, people make crap choices all the time. People in America aren't dying in the streets from starvation. Nobody is poor in America. People do however make bad choices everyday.

    You can't complain about that rate coming outta florida!

    A mild tune will increase fuel mileage a bit too. We have a mild tune in the 99 and got about 0.3-0.4 mpg increase. Was a 460/1660 it's prob 525ish at the crank now. Woke it right up and temps are still in check. Bout 900 on the pyro and water/oil temp stayed the same as before

    What are your Pyro temps just going down the road. Mine are around 750ish. If the road is flat and no wind they are much lower....like 600ish. When I climb a hill and they hit 850ish....I shift. I dunno what the normal range is really.
