Well, les see, when I was 5 years old, the village i lived in had a dirt circle track beside the baseball field that they raced gokarts on. I can still remember sitting in a guy's lap going around that track. Then, when I was 10, I became good friends with the son of the Commandant of Letterkenny Army Depot, he had a twin engine kart and the Depor had a boatload of back roads that were hardly used. And the Military Police wouldn't do a thing about us running on them. Wait! Are we talking about the same thing??

Back in those days, public predjudice was legal. After watching on the History Channel, I noticed the icons, investors and inventors of that time were all a shifty and underhanded lot. Nasty, mean old bastard would probably come with the turf the way everybody got jerked around.

Nasty, mean old bastard would probably come with the turf the way everybody got jerked around. I've got to tell you... IMO today public predjuice is still all the rage for "Some People". This scum is a hero to sports fans in Detroit... http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story ... -iii-blackness-first-take I'd link more examples of people like him... most even more highly reguarded by certain communitys but I don't want to be part of the problem by giving them any more publicity. Politicans, Big money and famous people have and will always be corrupt. Probally more so today than at any other time the US's history. Rockafeller could only dream about putting press releases out that say his "secretaty paid more in taxes that he did and that thats just not fair"... Then buy off the President and Congress so they enact legislation that raises her taxes even more and does nothing to his bottom line. I bet W. Harding would love to have been able to decry the evils of oil and gas mfgrs after an oil drill rig accident in the gulf - then start holding off issuing offshore drilling permits hostage until his sugger daddy gets control of Petro Brazil.... then lease those very same dangerous offshore oil drill rigs to him/them. One more wondeful exapmle is a former Vice President who travels the world on a fossile fuel powered private jet yelling chicken little about global warming and how fossile fuel is going to destroy the world... when he's not at his VERY BIG fossile fuel guzzeling mansion in TN that is... This clown sells a shitty 2nd rate cable TV network to the biggest oil and fossile fuel prouducers in the world for at least 3X whats it worth. You can't make this shit up any better... well worse. The corruption of the 19th and early 20th century is childs play compred to the scumbags we have live under today.. We have hundreds of little Aurelius Cleander's out there selling our hard work to the highest bidder. Will

Will Don't forget his 10,000 sq.ft. house that has no green, no solar, nada. But then if you were "Born to be president" you should get a free pass, right. But all this isn't as bad as the guy who is selling off America to China. Or that group inside the beltway who can't even agree on how to pass gas.
