at home, or at friends' homes, or at small independent restaurants where the owner is in one of two places: the kitchen or the front of the houseGonz said:
That works when you live in Chicago. I travel daily & it's really hard to find a place that doesn't suck at any hour of the day or night. Chains have their usefulness. Nothing like going into some local establishment & finding "med rare" in Outback Kentucky & "med rare" in Desert Plains AZ are as different as their environs.

The differences are what make life interesting for me, but I imagine since you travel daily you prefer consistency. A shame that the small independent diner has become a thing of the past. Where did drivers eat before mass-produced food?

There were 24 hours truckstop/diners that would clog your arteries just opening the door but had great food & dying early was worth it. Word of mouth worked when there were half a million drivers. When it's 5 times that & the trucker has joined the nuclear family in a museum

PROFILING TEST - ARE YOU A RACIST OR SURVIVALIST?
To ensure we Americans never offend anyone - particularly fanatics intent on killing us - airport screeners will not be allowed to profile people. They will continue random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail and 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips. Let's pause a moment and take the following test.
In 1979, the U.S. embassy in Iran was taken over by:
(a) Norwegians from Ballard;
(b) Elvis;
(c) A tour bus full of 80-year-old women; or
(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.
In 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by:
(a) A pizza delivery boy;
(b) Crazed feminists complaining that being able to throw a grenade beyond its own burst radius was an unfair and sexist requirement in basic training;
(c) Geraldo Rivera making up for a slow news day; or
(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.
In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by:
(a) Luca Brazzi, for not being given a part in "Godfather 2;"
(b) The Tooth Fairy;
(c) Butch and Sundance who had a few sticks of dynamite left over from the train mission, or,
(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.
In 1998, the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by:
(a) Mr. Rogers;
(b) Hillary, to distract attention from Wild Bill's women problems;
(c) The World Wrestling Federation to promote its next villain: "Mustapha the Merciless;" or
(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.
On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked and destroyed by:
(a) Bugs Bunny, Wiley E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd.
(b) The Supreme Court of Florida trying to outdo their attempted hijacking of the 2000 Presidential election;
(c) Mr. Bean,
(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.
Hmmm .............? There is a pattern, but lets not be Politically Incorrect. Afterall, isn't it better that a few more planes get Hijacked and flown into buildings than some Muslim males between the ages of 17 and 40 be Offeeeeeeeeended?

So I take it you honestly believe that Gonz's original post was an accurate description of a muslim male between the ages of 17 and 40?

They must have seen the Michael Moore movie Pissing about Guns & decided to go find some more Michigan Militia members.
1. I found it rather unlikely at the time that the two of them together could plan and execute a bowel movement. Can you say scapegoats?
2. The agenda after Oklahoma City seemed to be to put it behind us as quickly as possible. The agenda after 9/11 seems to be to keep it in front of everyone for as long as possible. Ask yourself why. This clearly does not bother you or raise alarms in your mind, but it does in mine.
Trust what the government has become at your peril.
