I'm not a very good blogger. I go months without posting anything, but when I have something to say and don't know who I should say it to, it goes into a blog.
Fair warning: [Open Rant Mode]
So, for the third time in the last couple of months, some bone head with the best of intentions plasters my truck windshield with a two page, poor quality photocopy about supporting terrorism, being a damn Republican Bush/Chaney supporter, and driving gas guzzling polluting vehicles. Now there were a bunch of statements that could offend just about anyone on these two pages. Lots of anti-Arab bullsh_t and the typical half thought out ramblings that some public school educations produce. The part that really pissed me off was being called a Republican!! I might buy into being called a Libertarian. Now, I'm going to "assume" that this individual is just ignorant, but 1) My vehicle is a 1-ton dually 4 door Ranch Truck, NOT an SUV. 2) It doesn't burn gas, it's diesel. Right now its using 80/20 bio-diesel (I was up in "tree hugging Boulder, CO " for work, so I put $100 worth in the tank.) 3) Diesel engines produce more particulates, but less CO, NO and NO2 than gasoline engines. 4) My 6 cylinder Cummins gets 22-23 miles per gallon of diesel. As far as their waste paper, I put it in the compost bin with the kitchen scraps and the chicken shit from the poultry house.
Oh yeah, this individual may want to rethink accusing a Vet from the 1st Gulf War of supporting terrorism. I spent 12 years defending the Constitution and free speech, but this person's "free speech" is inaccurate and libelous.
