Bustin....you can believe anything you want to believe...That's why we have chocolate vs vinilla, black & white, Democrate/republican in this great country of ours. That's the one thing about this site that facinates me more than anything, and that is, how everyone of you can sit day after day and preach to each other about the inconsequential things such as "road gear" on a little scooter that goes 35 mph. In the first place, you're "preaching to the choir" so to speak, 'cause everyone of you think the same way. What's the point? When I quoted my expierience as a police officer for 14 years and also told you that 7 of that 14 was spent in the traffic division where my primary job was the reporting of all serious personal injury and fatality accidents and that I was on 24 hour call all the time and that I have attended Northwestern University in the specific area of accident reconstruction, it wasn't to try and impress you all....it was to try and lend some credability to my position in this discussion....but alas, it was for nothing...no one believed me! The only one on the site who actually has some experience at this sort of thing and you basically brushed me off as some "wack job" who doesn't know anything! And everyone of you wonder why I have an attitude! The only one that I have is the one that you've given me. You all have a condesending attitude toward anyone or anything that doesn't go along or agree with your program. I was quoting real-life experiences in my job as a traffic accident investigator, someone who has testified in court on numerous occasions as an "expert witness" and I was ridiculed and belittled on this site by people who I knew didn't know shit from shinola about what they were talking about.
Like I said folks, you can believe anything you want, I really don't care, as long as you don't try and portray me as a "kook" just because I happen to disagree with you. And Jeff....you explained to me once that this site was not a democracy. That if you took a mind to, you could end my days here just because you want to. You know what....if your sense of right and wrong, decency and being able to listen to your fellow man, even tho you disagree with him vehemently isn't any stronger than that, then YOU'LL have to "shit can" me. I won't go willingly like Vulcan did. I don't believe in that. If I go, I will go because you want me to, still keepng true to my beliefs and ideals without question in my mind as to whether I am right or wrong. The differance between someone like me and some of you folks is, at least I listen to ya, even tho in my mind I'm saying, "You gotta be shittin me". "They can't actually belierve that, can they?" At least I listen!.....Think about it.......Oh and ps; I don't come around that often anyway, do I? At least I give all of you a chance to have a lively discussion about me...or anything for that matter. Somewthing that's sorely lacking on this site most of the time.....Have a nice day....LeRoy
