Sucks peoplev are so blind as to what is right in front of them.:frown::frown::mad::mad::mad:

I'm a little out of sorts today myself. I even turned off my radio so I didn't have to listen to the BS. On a brighter note I got my 066 mag about 90% done,it's going to be strong. I have a dual port muffler for it,but I can't remember where I put it.:mad: I'm just going to put the stock muffler on it for now and run it.

Cleaned more on the shop, getting ready to for a cabinet job, little change up in the middle of tree trimming.

For those of you who have been there, I would like to inform you that there is a floor there. And it's wood! Amazing. Who'd of known..... :)
 

That seems like an apt observation, but...Tocqueville was a French aristocrat that formed his opinions after visiting the USA sometime prior to 1835, when he published his 1st book.

From what I read, he wasn't exactly a booster of democracy, and he certainly couldn't have quoted the history of any democracies that had ever failed after (or before) 200 years had gone by. Up until the USA, I think it might be argued that there had not ever been any states that were "democracies" to evaluate. Shucks, the USA isn't even a democracy; it's a republic.

So even though the quote seems insightful and profoundly prophetic at this time...he was just blowin' smoke up our democratic skirts.
 
I'll give him credit, ol' Tocqueville had some pretty pithy comments about us:

As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?
Alexis de Tocqueville

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
Alexis de Tocqueville

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.
Alexis de Tocqueville

I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.
Alexis de Tocqueville

In no other country in the world is the love of property keener or more alert than in the United States, and nowhere else does the majority display less inclination toward doctrines which in any way threaten the way property is owned.
Alexis de Tocqueville
 
pdqdl, I'm trying to figure out if you're a fountain of knowledge, or just a grand master of Google. Either way, you come up with some good stuff from time to time. I look forward to meeting you someday - hopefully next fall if not sooner.

If the gal in your avatar comes, she'd win the wet saw contest hands down.

or would that be treats up?

Hmmmmmm


As for anyone that is in a 'certain category' the 'fountain of knowledge' chair is right beside the 'mountain of crap' chair. Its real easy to sit in the wrong one. Ask me how I know.....

Just saying.
