It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one. The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher. The Butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower. The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel. The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit. The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there. The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything. At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing business today.

If someone "attacked" Flav on RWD based on her political views (on Opinions), which are quite outspoken and unwavering (that is her right), the attacker was at fault in the RWD section. That being said, your "counter-attack" in the 240 forum is equally not acceptable. This forum is about putting 240s back on the road and keeping them running, that has nothing to do with this thread! Furthermore, this thread threatens to bring the vicious nature of the the Opinions forum to the 240 forum in regards to the politically motivated thumbs up and thumbs down. A good laugh is a good thing, but by now, you must realize that this thread has gone beyond a good laugh, now its personal. Jarrod, If you want open participation that is balanced on the Opinions page, please consider getting rid of the "thumbs" on that Forum. Consider it a second gentle suggestion. jorrell -- 92 245 278K miles, IPD'd to the hilt, 06 XC70, 00 Eclipse custom Turbo setup...currently taking names and kicking reputations!

I don't know how many years you spent in the military but if you spent any time in at all, you know that to avoid SEVERE consequences, you obey the lawful orders of those over you. In case of unlawful orders the procedure is to obey first and investigate the lawfulness (via IG, etc) later. There is no way you can have an effective military if the commander cannot depend absolutely on his officers and men to carry out his orders with alacrity.
