  7. Many take issue with the way things are going, but the political machine, the media, the clueless and the gimmies either ignore or label them are radicals or brand them as an anti government group who wants to deny them the things they feel is owed to them. The last few generations are mostly clueless about our past and present and could careless as long as their pleasure path in not interrupted and their Wi Fi is intact. The other clueless group thats making a career of fries and egg mcmuffins, feel they are owed a living by the big bad companies . . . the 1-800 lawyers and the government said so. People have been raised and taught in schools they are owed everything by the country. The government knows whats best. Those that work there butts off the be successful are greedy ba$tarts for not "sharing the wealth" with them. I was told that I have my own business "you must be loaded". I replied that I work 365 days a year with my salvage business and farm, some weeks I take no salary to pay for my workers or unexpected bills. Best comment was an ex neighbor collecting years of assistance "you work your a$$ off and don't even own a flat screen tv?" Told Him I own a big part of his and may come take it" L.E.O's with military equipment, government monitoring you on line, the phone or travelling? Most are fine with that because they feel "safe". I was told at the VA if you have nothing to hide why worry. Prime example of corrupt government is in NYS. The Long Island Power Authority was a public utility which replaced a private company with Stock holders . The State (Governor Cumo who owns 6500+ shares in the new company) wanted to replace them with a private company. The public comments to our local Representative were open for a month. I sent an E mail the third day, the response was "thank you for you concern, but I have already made my decision for the change" Obama getting his trade agreement and more power, an MSNBC host calling Hillary Madam President on welcoming her to an interview 2 weeks ago. I will say Mrs Clinton told her "I'm not President yet". The MSNBC host replied "the election is only a mere formality. You're already in" . Comment on it and you will get a better response yelling into a cave. Sadly, much of this generation and a large part of their parents are less educated them the mid 40's and older. How can a country survive when the next generation is less educated and involved than the previous one? Want a start on fixing the country? Rein in the Alphabet agencies, Term limits for every politician, Voter ID, Dump the CSEA and other unions for public employees and follow the Constitution and the law. Thats only a small start to the countries recovery. Thank you for reading my tirade Paul
  8. Quite a few people go by looks, and can't see beyond that. Steel dash too. Can't easily justify a 627 mile loop from L.I to Cold Spring to Va. Paul
  9. MICHAEL BASTASCH CLIMATE DENIERS ARE NOT NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS!4:21 PM 06/23/2015 EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy told an audience Tuesday gathered at a White House conference “normal people,” not “climate deniers” will win the debate on global warming. McCarthy’s remarks came as she was talking about the reasons why the EPA put out a report on the negative health impacts global warming will have on public health. She said the agency puts out such reports to educate the public, not answer critiques from global warming skeptics. I am ordering the Surgeon General to initiate a "War on Climate Change as a Major Health Issue" “I am doing that not to push back on climate deniers,” McCarthy told doctors, health professionals and others gathered at a White House summit. “You will be able have fun doing that, but I’ve batted my head against the wall too many times and if the EPA science already hasn’t changed their mind it never will McCarthy then remarked how “normal people,” and not skeptics and deniers will eventually win the global warming debate. Implicit in her remarks is the contention that skeptics and deniers are not “normal people” but dangerously flawed. “But in our democracy, it’s not "them" that carries the day,” McCarthy said. “It is the Federal Government and normal human beings that haven’t put their stake into the "deniers" politics above science. It’s normal human beings that listen to us and want us to do the right things for their own good and we will if you help us defeat them.”
  10. NYC and Long Island new Good Humor trucks. . .
  11. Only if there is an APP for their phone
  12. Looks like a RHD version of the MACK RB-3G pre WWII bus. http://www.favcars.com/_cEZk
  13. This makes the non existent bio additive required by an EPA mandate to be added to gasoline by refiners (who are fined for not adding the non existent additive) seem like a minor hiccup! How did that happen? The EPA felt if the passed the requirement and issued fines for non compliance, a chemical company would develop the additive. None Did! Instead of rolling back the requirement, Gina McCarthy (Charlie McCarthy's daughter) upped the percentage required and doubled the fines for non compliance! http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/business/energy-environment/companies-face-fines-for-not-using-unavailable-biofuel.html?_r=1
  14. They loosened up over time. Paul
  15. Amazing how many companies and individuals have no interest in their history.
  16. While waiting at Gabrielli MACK today for some parts to be located, I was reading the blerb on the M Drives. Now my question was there ever an Auto in older MACKS? Not bus or Fire chassis but R, U, DM and others? Allison AT-740 or other auto ever offered as an option? Paul
  17. Does Al Sharptoons know you used the phrase Great White North?
  18. Cool comparison. This coincided with the new E-7. Paul

  19. Smith-Miller made them in Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and a Goldish color.
  20. No surprises there! Like the non existent bio additive for gas the refiners get fined for not using and just had the make believe additives amount increased by 20%. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/business/energy-environment/companies-face-fines-for-not-using-unavailable-biofuel.html?_r=0
  21. No pipe layer, it was for the New England Thruway so probably a scraper or side dump.
