I have a fold-rush... i almost wish i had gotten it powder coated instead of
natural alumium..... it is not looking all that good, and polishing it will be a real drag... i've started it a few times, but gave up after the tediousness of the project got to me....

It's a ritual Arne and it must be observed as a ritual. Why don't you sell that ugly old fold rush to me cheap so you can get yourself a nice new powder coated bike in your favorite color. skip (always willing to help a brother out) |

... It has often been remarked that the very poor and the very rich have the same disgusting and immoral behavior. Apparently the extremes meet and it is essentially the middle class which is the repository of all morality. But is it too much money or too little money that causes reprehensible behavior or is it rather something else entirely? We will allow the very rich their behavior because it seldom directly effects our lives unlike the behavior of the poor (the homeless). It is the same with white collar crime versus street crime. One only affects us highly indirectly whereas the other effects us directly (assault and robbery).... I should point out here that Mr. Dolan has stated in the past that he does not have much of an understanding of economics. If he did, he would not make the above statements. As for one example, how were all the middle aged, mid-level white collar Enron employees affected when upper management bailed out before the company collapsed, while they lost almost all of their retirement savings?

Skip, don't know about now, but when I got mine, other choices were white
(ugh..!) or black (not too exciting)... Aluminum looks really good when polished up. And some where, there probably is one polished up. Arne ===================== "skip" wrote in message ...

"Edward Dolan" wrote in message om... Sounds like maybe you have been doing the Bike Florida ride or that other one that goes by the name of Safari. Actually I was kayak camping and didn't take a bike along this time. I have in the past combined paddling and biking rides out of Live Oak Florida. Bike to the put in, rent a canoe, have the bike shuttled to the take out and then bike back to camp when I'm done. The canoe gets shuttled back to the put in point. Neat deal. I was mainly upset that Mr. Sherman did not say goodbye. We are all of us going to leave this newsgroup sooner or later. I do not believe in slinking quietly away into the night. Oh come on Ed. You know the other liberals around here aren't capable of dealing with you. You need Tom to make it challenging. You wanted him back bad. Admit it. No, I will be like a great artist and have many and prolonged farewell concerts. Fine. Just have the good grace to stay gone after you are done with your mega production farewell. Don't be like some others and reappear here two weeks later. OK, but don't vote for Nader if it looks like Kerry could win. I think Pennsylvania is a going to be critical state along with Ohio. Here in Minnesota, I wouldn't have to vote at all as the idiots here go Dem no matter what jackass the party comes up with. We are like Massachusetts that way. I live in Tennessee. Kerry won't win here. Our former senator, vice president, and pal Al couldn't even carry the state in the last go around. We off-topic types missed your razor sharp but always subtle wit. Glad to see that you didn't desert us and were only away doing what we should all be doing. I've been honing my razor sharp but always subtle wit on the gators and coons in the Fla. backwaters. They didn't seem to get it. Maybe too subtle for them. But any way I'm glad you do. skip |

Ok Arne I will trade you my expertly polished & gleaming GRR for you ugly
dull Fold Rush. I think I'm being more than reasonable here. skip "Arne" wrote in message news:uAL4c.1681$rQ.1251@lakeread04...

We do not allow the rich anything. They take it. They become lawyers, we
chose between 2 choices usually, they get elected and if they retain their morales, they accomplish nothing, else they lose them and accomplish a lot, usually to their collective benefit. I say lawyers as most politicians have a law background. Way back in ancient history, the collective legislators were a conglomeration of shop keepers, farmers, and other types. They did what they had to do in Washington (formerly Philadelphia) and went home to earn their keep. Then, the people decided the federal gov't should do more... and more and more.... and we gave up our rights and responsibilities to the feds and wound up where we are today.... a lot of the population said 'let the feds do it' and the feds got all the power... That happens when you don't want to do things for yourself... Arne ===================== "GeoB" wrote in message om... We allow the rich their behaviour because the system is run by thieves and crooks. |

I am NOT talking about being a burden, like a beggar or thief, I'm
talking about rejecting the value system itself, and building a self-sustaining life apart from it. Like hippies in communes? We're primitive as can be... The Manson family. |
