The post was not directed to you but it was, as I admitted, a pot stir, as was yours below. Both elicited some lively comments so I guess it's all good huh pal.

This is the second time he has posted the same thing directly after one of my posts critical of the US. It's a nice counterpoint, and a sentiment held by many. Freedom of speech is one of the ones we still have, and one is free to confront those we disagree with directly, mano a mano, rather than obliquely, from the side, with inuendo. That's something the HZ tolerates, too. Arf No, it was aimed at me. This is the second time he has posted the same thing directly after one of my posts critical of the US.

Crap, I think I just lost control of this metaphor. And slid it into the ditch where I lie trapped in the wreckage, drinking dew dripping from the shattered windshield and luring small animals into range of my teeth with my Amazing Leftover Burrito Wrapper impression...

If you think the car has outlived it's usefulness you can drop it off at a junk yard or shove it off a cliff. If you care for the car you will try to restore it to original condition.

You don't need to love management but the product deserves your respect, if love is too strong a word. I bitch about Alice incessantly but in the end I love her and what she gives back. Finally, this was not addressed to you or anyone in particular FCS. Don't be so thin skinned. I just think the site deserves more than one pot stirrer. And no you are not a pot stirrer.
