“Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what we may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty.
The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”— Perri Nelson, February 9, 2010

The cars we drove in the 50s and 60s

My dad sent me a link to this presentation, knowing that as a car nut I'd appreciate it. Copyright restrictions prohibit me from showing it here, but you can always see it here.
It's pretty cool. It ends with the wish that those days would come again. We can still do a lot of those things, but I think that today's cars have pretty much lost that element of style from bygone days.
Go check it out, and turn on your speakers. It's well worth the visit.

Futility

I've posted my resignation from one of the group blogs I participate in here. I think that NW Bloggers is a fine blog and that for the most part the content there is pretty good. I'll miss being a contributor there.
Even so, I've grown tired of the personal attacks and sheer derangement from one of the contributors. That's why I left. It's pointless to continue arguing with someone like that.
I guess I'll just hang out here and preach to the choir. *sigh*
At least my frustration level will be reduced by a little bit that way.
Update: My resignation wasn't accepted. That doesn't change the way I feel about things there. Karl has left a few postings that continue to demonstrate that the respect I hold for him is not misplaced.
In the meantime I've decided that I will no longer post political content there. Instead I'll post photographs and video of the things that I love about the Pacific Northwest and about our country in general. I'll save my political postings for here and for the comment threads of other blogs.
