I have a bit of a problem with camera type ticket writers on a lot of grounds. First it is really unconstitutional in that you have the right to examine your accuser which it tough to do with a machine or camera in this case. Secondly supposed you lone your car to a son, daughter or relative and they get nailed, you get the ticket as they usually simply take a shot of the back of the car to get the license plate number. Again that is also a bit of a problem. Now if these things could be address I might trust it a bit more but for now I don't want to see a 1984 solution to our problems.

Red light cameras take the picture of the front of the car so the driver is visible.

You do have some redeaming qualities if you don't drive a beemer.

But sailboaters, well, there's different types. Do walk with a 15 degree lean, have a worn out sun hat, and mooch liquor from your power boat neighbors?

Actually, I do a have a good friend with a 85' Palmer Johnson bloboat. He's not your typical bloboater. Heck, he serves me some pof the best liquor I've ever had. Oh ya, he has a 90' Broward too. So he's a blo-stink boater all in one.

So that leaves liberals. Hmmm. Umm. Ya, no christmas presents for you:sorry:

Actually I had a 60' Endeavor ketch for 4 years. Docked it where they did Miami Vice know locally as pear 5. Once they started shooting there regularly it was bit hard for a to live aboard it. I sold it in '84 though I never got to sail it much due to so much time spent overseas in those years. My wife and kids sure loved it. I did own a 2002 (model not year) BMW that I fixed up and sold. As for a liberal it would depend on what we are talking about. Somethings I might be more of a conservative than you and others like social issues I believe in live and let live as long as one doesn't try to impose their beliefs on me.

I have an infrared camera system on my property that takes hi def pictures and it is still hard to identify people from it unless they stand directly in front of it. That is the point I'm making. We also don't have front tags here or for that matter any of the several states I've lived in long enough to need their tags.

Ok, so you are getting closer and closer to being on my Christmas list...

How was it living on the boat? My wife wants to do it for a few years after we are done with the rat race. I'm not so sure. I kinda like long vacations, but 100% on a boat, I don't know.

Well as I said I traveled quit a bit in those years so I spent about a month a year there but it was very comfortable. Each of my 4 kids had their own rooms and shared a bathroom, my wife and I had a stateroom large enough for a king size bed and its own full bath. It was more comfortable than living in a double wide trailer or a travel trailer. It also had a fully equipped galley right down to a micro wave and satellite TV and navigation systems. I purchased it brand new from the builder and added many features to it. It wasn't cheap at all either.

One person could sale the boat (yacht if you prefer) from without pulling a single rope as it was all automated as far as raising sails and adjusting the masts to the wind. It also had a large enough diesel engine (volvo) that we could run it it a pretty good distance on the 400 gal. of fuel aboard. It was also capable of sailing around the world as it had its own salt to fresh water plant (400 gal. storage capacity ) aboard so we used it for showers though we didn't drink but we could. It was a hell of a boat. I'm also not the sailor in the family but my wife is though this one even I could sail safely without problem.

"maybe even a bit condescending in a lecturing kind of way?"

Personal? Perhaps. But it was very true.

I think the person who is condescending is you. You attacked JoeV's opinion and compared him to an entertainer by the name of Rush Limbaugh. Even Rush calls himself an entertainer. That comparison was incredibly incendiary and insulting which judging my this last post of yours seems to be your goal. You intend to get personal, nasty and get someone's goat. Well, sorry, I shan't take that bait.

If your desire is to stir things up just for the sake of stirring the pot, perhaps this is not the forum for you. I am more than happy to debate the issues and I might be sympathetic with your point of view but not your way of expressing it. Perhaps if you were not so rude we could actually have a decent argument.

I can tell JoeV that I think it is unfair of him to not give Barack Obama a chance as he has not been in office very long. One can respect the office and not agree with the President. I can tell him that Obama inherited a lot of problems that were not of his making and he might even agree. However, his point is that Congress has hijacked the future with all these bailouts is a good one. We are going to have to print money which will either cause inflation or even worse stagflation. Whether or not Obama does a better job is yet to be seen. I hope for the best. I was not a big fan of either Bush presidency, either. And I was very disappointed in Bill Clinton for many reasons although I can tell you from personal experience he was a very charming, bright, and charismatic man.

Ladies PM each other if you want to comment on each other. Other than that discuss the TOPIC not the person. ;)


Anyhew, I got a damn red light ticket 2 months ago!!! $100 down the tubes.

They didnt take a photo of me, just my car / plate.

I thought we had civil liberties.... but I live in Illinois so I guess law makers can go against whatever they want and make whatever law up that they want.

Don't get me going about being pissed off.

I was born angry!

Lets see, perfect or product.
>>>
Perfect ... I really didn't have a problem with the word Perfect till I started going around cooking forums. People in search of the perfect ... Oh, Please! The ones I really want to tear into are those who think they made the Perfect something. Honey, Buddy, if you think you've made something 'Perfect' thats only because it hasen't been critiqued by me. It may be damned good, it may even be to die for fantastic, but you think it's Perfect? THWAP , theres your dope smack be happy it wasn't a donkey punch.
>>>
Product:

I've had a problem with the word product for a very long time. Back in the '70s I think it was, I read a Royco column where Mike was making an observation on marketers, manufacturers, how at one time things had a name, how schools would refer to the theoretical item being produced was called a widgit or some other name but now it's referred to as product. How these people are losing touch with the real world and what they actually do. I thought it an entertaining rant by Mike, I understood but didn't realize what he was talking about.

Then in the 80's I read an interview with the head of marketing for the launch of Lexus in Road&Track. In this interview this person referred to the first Lexus as Product. Suddenly what Royco was writing about slammed home. I had been reading about Lexus since the announcement that Toyota annouunced it was going upscale, all indiucations were the Lexus was going to give the Germans a run for their money and the Head of Marketing doesn't even care enough to refer to the Lexux as a Lexus or even what it was, an automobile or car. It's a frigging product.

It's not that I have/had a particular of the Lexus, it's what lit the bulb.

I came into the middle of an episode of This Old House. I must of watched it for 5 minutes before I knew what the salesman/ representitive was yabbering about ... you take the product and spread the product so the product is evenly spread then wait for the product to set up till the product feels like this then you place the product (a second part of the process???) over this product and press firmly so the product is properly set in place then work the product with a roller till the product bulges in a particular way and there is a seepage of the product about the products joints and it will take about three days for the product to fully cure to a finished roofing product ... DAMN! He's selling something for a roof!!!!

As it applies to cooking, I've seen people write how they've done this work, Did this to the ribs (sic) and that and all the other stuff and , in the end, refer to their ribs as a frigging PRODUCT!

No, their RIBS.

Damn, somehow I'm burnt out on bitching about Product, Give me a minute, I'll recharge.

P.S. Giant M, let me publicly compliment you on your respectful moderating of a volatile political (sometimes personal) discussion. From my POV, nicely done!

AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!


Wart, did you wait for that apoxy PRODUCT to cure 72 hours before you put it down on that garage floor?
(I saw the episode too? Nice looking results!)

One of my favorite shows.
My grip with PBS is commercials. Wart you got me started.
The shows start late and end 5-8 minutes early for advertising. What's up with that?

So they also had one of those 'reps' for epoxy floor coatings?

Why am I not surprised.

No commercials during the program (so you get to pinch it and dance around ... well maybe not you, but I think you know what I mean)

Unless their doing the fund drive.

We have a DVR, it's the only way to watch television.
