Try typing the address with the /up_steam. Their formating cut part of the address off.

It is steam, not stream ... this fits right into what's going on in Dixon these days. We are all waiting and soon will hear:

I hear the train acomin', it's comin' round the bend ....

Sounds like a photo op if I ever heard of one ...

Keep the train runnin' before the EPA shuts 'er down for emitting to much pollution!

We saw this beauty last year in San Diego on her inaugural run. Pure American Heavy Metal! Loved the smoke!

Very good read. Hooked me on the last paragraph, but I still believe in "Free Will" and "Choice" of men. All theories and all attempts to contain the thrift and expression of people has led to the failure of economies and societies.

Read the last paragraph and it is a stretch to tie it in. Typical liberal rant on a pseudo premise with illogical or predetermined goal of declaring the lemming philosophy of there is no point so give up and die.

No wonder you were yawning ....

Typical gawd damn Libertarian reaction. I'm a Capitalist/Conservative and found neither the date nor the content objectionable. On the contrary. This was an obituary for "Dialectic Liberalism" and "Marxist" ideology.

Capitalism is the only system that allows people the opportunity to achieve success and security. The weakest will find REAL charity elsewhere. Tough s.hi.t. Why drag the whole of society to support the sluggarts.

Any good Libertarian should know that, if they read just a little bit, instead of reacting all the damn time. You guys are worse than Liberals when it comes to self-education and self-improvement. That pi.sses me off!

No wonder everybody jumps your s.hi.t here!

Reading comprehension must be a learned skill, Son. I don't disagree with a thing you said in your rant except for your interpretation of what I said. I mustn't have been clear. Please forgive me.

"Death of history" can not be viewed in the "obituary" context that you describe. Either that or we are just viewing it from different angles.

Perhaps. Of course, I found myself doubling back a couple of times on the article, to let a couple of points sink in. Pointy headed stuff that would make the average person suck the exhaust pipe!

So, while I DO have a BIAS towards Libertarians, my opening remark was more satrical, than personal, but, man you do get a shotgun barrel of s.hi.t shot at you! Holy smoke!

Anywho! Peace!
