Continental Congress 2009 Intro - Warning-

An interesting read and certainly part of a movement that I have been calling for for years. Our country needs an enema - a "Revolution of the Mind" if you will, one that is grass roots driven and aimed at taking the form and excersise of central government in our nation back much closer to what our Founding Fathers initially conceptualized and partially implemented.

I am not certain that this particular organization is for me as its progenesis appears to be distinctly to the right of center and I consider myself very much a centrist. In particular, I looked at my state's delegates to this so-called "Continental Congress" and I found that their credentials, backgrounds and personal position statements were lacking... generally lightweight, underqualified or vague.

I do applaud the organization's effort to attempt to right a ship of state that is clearly foundering and I will continue to research the issue from both sides of the fence so that I, in my own way, can continue to help to wake people up to the political realities of our times, i.e., that our system of govt is broken and it no longer substantiall or appropriately serves the credo "of, by and for the people."

Good, provocative post, HeR3tic!
 
Good luck with that request. Although it would be nice to confine the chatter on a forum for and about motorcycles and motorcyclists to subjects for and about cyclists and cycling, I believe that, human nature being as it is, it is virtually impossible to do so. I came from a forum that has been all but ruined by political diatribes, politicizing and catfighting amongst and between those with opposing political views. I'd hate to see the same happen here! Maybe the admins could direct any and all political ramblings here to a sub-forum?
 
Things of this nature are usually put on the "Final Drive". When I first saw the title, it didn't take to long to figure out that it was going to be political. At that point I had an option. Look at it, or not. If you don't like the station, change the channel. I like talking politics. You can be the biggest liberal on the planet and after all's said and done, I'd be proud to share the open breeze with ya, have a beer and talk religion, lol. I don't consider these subjects taboo, just part of life. If on the other hand you don't want to talk about these things, I can respect that to. So if I ever have the pleasure of meeting more of you on this forum in person, we can skip these topics if you like. But while on the forum.... just change the channel. My two cents, and worth every bit of that:)
 
Snuff, you are exactly right, however, since this was posted on the "Darkside" forum I think that is where it raised a concern. It should have been in the "Final Drive" section to begin with.

I respect that. I think it was an honest oversite by Rocky. I've put Final Drive topics on the Bear Claw forum, until Tomo slapped my hand:D
