I got this in my e-mail today and I thought I would share it with you all.

 

 

Dennis Miller:

 

All the rhetoric on whether or not we should go to war against iraq has got my insane little brain spinning like a roulette wheel. I enjoy reading opinions from both sides, but i have detected a hint of confusion from some of you. As i was reading the paper recently, i was reminded of the best advice someone ever gave me. He told me about the kiss method (keep it simple, stupid!). So, with this as a theme, i'd like to apply this theory for those who don't quite get it. My hope is that we can simplify things a bit and recognize a few important facts. Here are 10 things to consider when voicing an opinion on this important issue:

 

1) between president bush and saddam hussein... Hussein is the bad guy.

 

2) if you have faith in the united nations to do the right thing, keep this in mind: they have libya heading the committee on human rights and iraq heading the global disarmament committee. Do your own math here.

 

3) if you use google search and type in "french military victories," your reply will be: "did you mean french military defeats?"

 

4) if your only anti-war slogan is "no war for oil," sue your school district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the education you deserve.

 

5) saddam and bin laden will not seek united nations approval before they try to kill us.

 

6) despite common belief, martin sheen is not the president. He only plays one on tv.

 

7) even if you are anti-war, you are still an "infidel" and bin laden wants you dead, too.

 

8) if you believe in a "vast right-wing conspiracy," but not in the danger that hussein poses, quit hanging out with the dell computer dude.

 

9) we are trying to liberate them. He is trying to kill us.

 

10) whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation.

Absolutely! - And we're loosing the PR Campaign.  Arab TV is only showing Anti-War Protests - Propaganda at it's finest.

 

If you support our troops and our country, look for a Pro-Troop/War Rally in your area and join in.  I'm going to one tomorrow.  Our Guys and Gals in the Armed Services need to know there ARE people who SUPPORT THEM and they're willing to SHOW IT!

Cowboy - My best friend's son is a Marine fighting with the front line in Iraq right now.  Another pal of mine is a personal friend of POW Dave Williams.  I sure hope you weren't yawning at me.  :crackup:

 

I'm tired of being late for work because anti-war protesters are laying down on the roads and highways during rush hour.  I do believe my truck is going to have a case of brake failure if it happens again. :smash:

lauriet1......  My yawning wasn't directed towards any-one in this forum, it was directed at Dennis Miller the topic of conversation in the particular thread......  Not a fan of dennis miller and I was glad to see him leave Monday Night Football..  Sometimes his taste in humor is rather off-key...  Just my opinion about him, if you like him great..........

 

If your woried about my Patriotism don't loose any sleep over it.........  If they need someone to defend our country I"m right there with anyone else holding my M16......

 

As for protestors............  I new I bought a 4X4 for a reason...... Lock it in and see how quick they move.  I bet there chains, and laying down in the street would end quick......  I guess then I would be having a convo with  :crackup:

Wow that really surprises me that Miller would say that.  I would have thought him another Hollywood liberal.  But I am glad he is not.  Right on Dennis for using your head before you speak, for once. :banghead:

They definitely wouldn't be doing that infront of my vehicle.

I'm with you cowboy02 on the Dennis Miller thing - his humor sometimes is just too degrading - notice I said sometimes, for you fans out there.  

 

What really turned me off on him was he just got WAY too into slamming West Virginians (He's from Pittsburgh, or lived there for some time, I think).  Now, don't get me wrong, I like a little hillbilly humor as much as the next West Virginian (lived there about 12 yrs of my life), but he just got too personal.  :banghead:  Know when the say when, you know!!

 

But his comments here were right on, though.

      ‘25 Silverado purchase- back to dealership for bumper/radio issue

      The no sound problem is the audio amplifier. The audio amp has a heatsoak issue in some circuitry which causes it to miss the wakeup handhake. If it doesn't respond within a certain time parameter, then you get no sound. I brought it in and had the software update, but after further testing the tech made the call for a new audio amplifer. The software update I belive gives more time for the amp to respond, but if the amp is defective then you can still get no audio at times. After the update it went 12 days before no sound. After doing some research, apparently the fix is a new (updated) audio amplifer, the circuitry internally has been improved to better deal with heat. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks because at the time, it was on backorder with no eta. Well the amp came in earlier this week. I had the amp and programming work done today. After picking it up I stopped at a few places, and whenever I started my truck, the audio was on instantly, so whatever they did it appears to work because it's never had sound that quickly......Hope this helps

      Make sure the latch mechanism is properly greased. Look at the catch for fresh marks/scratches. And see if it has moved a little, too.

      Thoughts on these wheels?

      By PBNB · Posted

      I have the 18" black mutilspoke wheels that came with my truck. I like them as they are very subdued and look good with the 295/70's    I am sure that the next set of wheels I get will be some after market all black wheels. Or maybe some AT4X wheels.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Interesting question which you partly answered in the word 'potentially'. I think that is going to be a 'point of reference' inquiry. What are the touchstones?    This will sound petty but it is the main source of end fighting in threads on this topic. Define a motors "Life". Think about the various arguments that have been entertained on these pages in that very argument.    I can only speak from my viewpoint. Engine "Life" in my world is defined by power cylinder integrity. For the majority of engines it is the bore/ring interface that quits first. Loss of seal. Oil consumption and loss of power. Most Pro motor builders would agree and there is a good deal of information on using "Leak Down" as a primary indicator of bore integrity. At home a compression test is more the thing. If we can agree on that then I think CC Jensen has done its homework and I'd find it valid.    Now by my own definition, Dizzy, wife's Ecotec 2.4 I-4 has been dead since about 80K miles. And yet we have logged over 200K miles more on it. "Life" and "Usefulness" are therefore independent.      I know a mature fella right now who has just hit 300K on a Mitsubishi 3A92 NA MPFI motor and has done compression test every 100K. It was 205 psi after break in and is now about 195 and still even. He uses shelf oil but good filters and adheres to a 3K mile OCI. He even do UOA's on each of them for the first 50K.      I also know a fleet mechanic with that same motor that gets 300 to 500 K out of them but the are oil using, wristpin sloppy, skirt slapping motors. He ran one with a piston pin so loose the piston was bouncing off the cylinder head for about 20K miles before he called TOD. Both of them claim success.
