ever see those bumper stickers that say...

...out of a job yet? keep buying foreign!

Those annoy me for many reasons.
1. (Stolen from one guy)

"On top of that, the disdain for my foreign car was becoming very apparent now. Which was also irritating. My bet is that neither of these people knew that while their own American cars were built by foreign workers for next-to-nothing wages, all of my Honda Civic (with the exception of the engine) was assembled in Ohio by well paid, and highly skilled Americans.

The parts were also produced in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, once again, by American workers."

2. Domestic cars suck. My Dad's Toyota has only been to the shop once to fix a dent in the hood. My Honda has never had anything wrong with yet. But our Chrysler van sucks and has already had much replaced in it. (Forgive my lack of car knowledge I can't remember exactly what goes wrong everytime it happens!)

3. Bumper stickers should be funny! (JK)

Legal Ages

A solution!

I've heard some people complain that they if they can vote at 18, then why can't they drink at 18. And then I complain that not enough young people vote. Here's a solution. You need a license to drink alcohol and it has to be renewed every four years when there is an election. You don't vote; you don't get a license to drink. Fair?

(Yes, I am well aware of the ways around this but it would provide an incentive don't you think?)
