Oh by rac you mean race! If that is what you mean, no I don't race regularly as the winters are very long here. The tracks open in mid-May and close at the end of September every year. I want to drag race my Polaris in the snow, but my wife won't let me ever since she witnessed my throttle sticking trying to drive it onto the sled trailer! The carnage wasn't pretty. Before covid-19 We did the Earlville, Cordova (when it was NHRA) Brainerd points and National event and spent the fall and winter spectating at the Vegas and Phoenix National events. I picked up my current stocker in Phoenix. The only tracks we have up here are IHRA which I don't care for too much.

Re: Maxine Waters Ugh
 

Not much better here, Local track opens next week. But I was able to race at Orlando Speed world last month. Hope you have a good season.

I would say 99 percent of all human beings are good people. I believe we all want the same things, health and security for our families and friends. I never made a lot of money, I've always paid my bills and lived within my means. I have a good life and a great wife, a fairly large family and my health. I believe in law & order. I know I' m blessed. Able to race on weekly basis in the sport that I love Who could ask for more?

That kind of puts things in a nutshell, that is all any of us want, life, liiberty and the pursuit of happiness. My Dad told me many years ago: you can have anything you want in life if you work for it and with regards to work, you can work hard or you can work smart. I did a little of both. We got our daughters educated, they both have Master’s degree so they never have to depend on a man for their welfare.

Re: Maxine Waters Ugh
 

Eddie its protest not protects, come on man masters degree, I would think you could spell better then that. Oh and you should thank Kennedy and Johnson for that one good little Democrats. Nixon got us out. But you will go back to Eisenhower and blame him right?
Lady Bird Johnson, who's money she invested in Brown and Root made millions off the vietnam war, and actually made millions off of the North also. Democrats have been corrupt since the civil war, don't forget Jim Crow. All Democrat.
Oh yeah in those days millions equal billions today. Just like Haliburton who was in cahoots with Brown and Root in Vietnam, Dick Head Cheney's company made Billions off the Iraq war. KBR the new name for Brown and Root, now Kellog Brown and Root made Billions, off the middle east wars. These companies love the democrat party.

WAR IS A RACKET! In the current Senate, nearly one-third of the members of the Defense Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee own stocks in top defense contractors. The subcommittee is in charge of drafting the procurement section of the annual Defense spending bill, which allocates funding for the Defense Department and specifies weapons systems and other goods for the department to purchase from private contractors. War is a racket, It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes. This crap has no political boundaries both side are guilty of it. Capitalism at it’s best! Oh, in a Master’s program you lose 1 point for a misspelled word. There was no misspelled word, it autocorrected to what you saw.

Re: Maxine Waters Ugh
 

Agreed! Your political leanings are ok with me I have no qualms about that. Up here we have three major political parties and a few fringe and geographical ones. A good chunk of us do not have set political leanings and usually make our voting decisions based on what promises are being offered at the time. The leader of the political party that wins the popular vote becomes the Prime Minister and he and his fellow members become the governing concern for the next 4 years. A certain number of seats must be won by that party to win majority power. If not, they form a minority government. That is it in the simplest terms but this party diversity gives rise very much to the people leaning towards a party agenda and a little less on party ideals. This tends to lead us criticize the government notwithstanding who holds the power. You will see passion prevail but not necessarily dissension for who you vote for.

At a close glance Americans and Canadians are one in the same, separated by an imaginery line. We eat the same food, drive the same cars, watch the same networks and at times follow the same politics. I love my home, but love to visit yours!

Re: Maxine Waters Ugh
 

As a matter of fact, America and Canada were colonized at about the same time, with the only difference that Canada was colonized mainly by the French, who historically had a confrontation with England. That is why there is still some kind of rivalry, although in my opinion, this is an outdated position for a long time, people should be more loyal to each other.

Re: Maxine Waters Ugh
 

Yes, and that confrontation gave rise to Acadia ceding to the English in 1713. They were welcomed and settled in Louisiana and became what is known now as Cajuns. Being French Canadian myself, I find it amazing how much I can understand certain French derivations and words in the Cajun dialect. Mardis Gras is in my bucket once Covid is done with.

Re: Maxine Waters Ugh
 

Interesting it was.The "violence" jan 6th was nothing compared to what went on across our country in 2020. The only person killed was a veteran shot by the federal government.

Tighten the perimeter than go after them would have been a good strategy for the peaceful rioting looting criminals destroying our cities.

Re: Maxine Waters Ugh
 

It is fivoulous and irrelevant that he got a burger. That he was allowed to purchase firearms is relevent. His initial application was put on hold by the ATF for further investigation. BY LAW the ATF/FBI have 3 days from the inital application to deny the purchase. The firearm dealer did NOT recieve a denial from the ATF within 3 days and by law is required to make the sale. This sad and tragic incident was preventable if not for another failure of the federal government.

Will more gun control laws make a difference when the existing ones are ignored???

Re: Maxine Waters Ugh
 

I believe in what the Constitution lays out in the 1st Amendment, the right to a peaceful protest. That said, no one has the right to destroy private or public property. The protestors in each case wrong.
