    where this one is a mear 9 Mt.. the B41 was a 25 Mt weapon. i do wonder about the people who where building these things.. and what was going through their minds.. from the person who signed the checks/orders to the guy who was tightening the bolts.

    hand breaking a hill start on a rear wheel drive sounds more like eating a clutch for reason, than "common sense"

    to each's own but you don't have to use a hand break to have no backwards movement on a hill start.

    First off - you don't have a "simple answer" because i didn't ask you a question.

    Second i don't take kind to labels, anyone who is willing to group people they have never met into derogatory groups for actions or view of someone else has issues.

    i don't think you understand why they are there - everyone has their own reasons, most of them have the same overall point. personally if i didn't have a wife and a kid to feed at home i would be there.

    my problem - is with the "bailouts" if i had run the company i work at into the ground like that no one would have helped me - the people getting the bailouts from the government would be the ones selling my equipment at auction to get every penny out of me. i have neighbors who are out of work - who got their mortgage "restructured" and their interest rate lowered - while i can't seem to get mine even refinanced at a decent rate at a low cost even though i have wonderful credit.

    my problem is that the government has a habit or rewarding bad behavior in the gauze of helping the public. and i'm sick of working my ass off to make ends meet and put money away for a rainy day and watching people with more than i have getting "assistance" for doing less.

    if i was there i would know exactly what i was protesting - and i'm sure each person there knows what they are protesting. the fact that there isn't a single line item agenda to me shows more than if there was - being so diverse to me better reflects the feelings of the people rather than a single person/group using the people protesting a means to their end.

    I'm not saying that every act by every person should be for the benefit of society - but when your sole purpose is to exploit someone else to better your self at the cost of that person/people then you are in the wrong.
