Why Mwild I think you are perfect just the way you are. I was trying to lure Beagle into listing the things he would like to see you change. Obviously, he has a problem with you drinking triple-shot vanilla lattes.
As a freedom loving fellow independent, I beleive you can say that. Our movement does not subscribe to the political correctness promoted by others. You are free to make statements as you see fit. x:D You will however get to defend your choices on an as needed basis if any of the un-enlightened should attempt to take you to task for your newfound views and choices.x;-)
You now get to pick your own platform of ideas based on how well they resonate with your life and your viewpoints, not based on the contributions of special interest groups and the views of survey executives.
We are not that organized on purpose, it would defeat the purpose of the independance. I have my own meetings in groups of one, but I keep forgetting the password so I cannot let myself join the meeting.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-02-04 AT 01:22PM (CST)[/font][br][br]well as part of my acceptance speech to the GDI's, all I can say is, I would like to thank the Academy & the Hollywood foreign press, the AFL-CIO, President George W. Bush (ah, heck & the rest of the Bush's too), the 9th Circuit Court, the NRA, Howard Dean and the entire state of California for the honor of no longer associating myself with either the Republican or Democratic parties. Thank you, kiss, kiss, thank you!
Parabeagle - you know I think you're super - only joking around about the latte thing!
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-02-04 AT 02:01PM (CST)[/font][br][br]No, I don't think they're anarchists, Ray. You need a lot of body piercings, leather, hardware and Dr. Martens boots to be an anarchist. I know Marc certainly doesn't look like one. I doubt if Mwild looks like one (although she is from Seattle, home of the WTO riots). x;-)
Mwild hasn'[t posted her picture yet, either. Marc has. Marc looks pretty straight. We'll have to coerce Mwild into posting her picture so we will know for sure.
"Back in the day" I had several close friends who were members of the SDS. I don't know if that qualifies me as an anarchist or a radical or not. I was just in it for the free love, the fringe leather jacket and the peace patch on my blue jeans. Oh yeah, my hair was down to my shoulder blades at the time. Peace, love, rock and roll.
I know it ties up your ability to get a security clearance, Marc. When my childhood buddy and I both joined the AF, his clearance was delayed because his brother was "allegedly" a member of the SDS. Mine was delayed because my parents were from Canada (can't trust those northern cousins of ours, y'know). x;-)
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-02-04 AT 05:43PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I think it is shameful the way you people have taken this thread so far off topic. x:=| Not that I had anything to do with it.
BTW Marc, was your fringed leather jacket black or brown? Or I can picture it being a wine color.
Brown, with fairly long fringes. It was the only coat I wore for several years. I kept it for a long time, but it somehow disappeared in Colorado. I think my wife had a secret garage sale and it went along with the beaded curtains, the black light and black light posters and other assorted goodies from the era.
If I say "bang, bang" a couple of times does that count for being back on topic?
The previous 23 or so posts show what can be done to hijack an original question on a thread. But the beauty of it is that Ray and Parabeagle have not clogged up other threads while they were hijacking this one. x:-)
Edsel's are more valuable and desireable now as antiques than they ever were new. Drop a 427 side oiler Ford engine, close ratio 4 speed tranny, and 9 inch rear end with 4.10 gears in that there Edsel and a Corvette won't stand a chance.

As to Parabeagle, now that I'm a GDI, can you please keep your lily-livered liberal views out of my latte choices! x;-) (just kidding)
marc? As a GDI, I can say that right x:-)
>please keep your lily-livered liberal views out
>of my latte choices! x;-) (just kidding)
Hey, just tryin' to look out for your best interests, Mwild... last thing your coworkers need is an HR person pinging off the walls. x;-)
As for my liberal views, I'm about as liberal as Rush Limbaugh (except I weigh less and my brain weighs more). x;-)

Welcome mwild you are valued.
xclap

Are you sure you guys aren't anarchists?

And someone took the bait.
At least no one is talking about flatulence. x;-)
