    It's ok. I respect that you spoke openly and how you felt. That required me to be very careful because we are a Free Speech (Within permissive framework lol) when taking up the issue.

    Videos are either wonderful and contribute to something or they are considered trash and should be discarded as such. Not all videos will be good material.

    I think you show a better ability to communicate than I do here. I hope that all is well with everyone involved and think perhaps we will have another go around the next time something comes up.

    As long as we have the go around in an amicable fashion, sure thing! I love to argue! But I'm no match for my 7 year old daughter. She's a savage.

    Isn't that a trick question, like "When did you stop beating your wife?"

    Then you and I agree on something at least. There is that. I do love to argue too. But I do not do a good job of it in a long term.

    Children are especially sharp. Particularly when they know a little bit about something being talked about, more than those adults thought they knew.

    I don't always speed. But when I do, its because I'm faster then you. And I'm tired of waiting for you to get with the program.
    I never speed when I'm heavy or loaded with bulk tanks. Too many variables to consider. Plus the surge has pushed me through stop signs in the winter a couple times.

    Guess i make 13. I NEVER intentionally break the speed limit. 15 years ago? Well that was a different era and I've grown since then.

    Never mind the problems you think you can assess and count by those who publicly announce themselves as lemmings following each other over the cliff. I did not put in a vote either way because I generally am not a speeder but will not hesitate to take any vehicle to the limit of performance when necessary balanced against risk or gain. If someone is really sick there are 4 air flight FOB's within a few minutes time to get them the care they need much faster than any ground vehicle.
