You think that 67 beats you up, try a 16 hour drive, gas and potty only, in

a 61 when there were very few superslabs. Aaaahhhhh those were the days, (of

torture).

Oh yeah? Well how`s about this...

I drove my mom`s (now brother`s) `58 w/twin 4 barrels from Pennsylvania

to Arizona in the early 80`s. No sun visors while heading west most of

the time. Had to put pieces of paper between the hardtop and the

windshield rail. Seemed every day dawned a new repair situation. First

day out, the gas tank sending unit was leaking fuel into the area under

the soft top. Fixed that at a Chevy dealer in Front Royal, VA. Crossing

the Mississippi, the forward carb linkage became disengaged from the

rest of the shootin`match. Seems I was able to coax it to a safe pull

off and luckily an easy fix. Then, coming into Groom, Texas, just east

of Amarillo, the generator went. Surprisingly a couple hours later I had

located a replacement and installed it myself while a couple of good

ol`boys kept their garage open late for me. (Stupidity confession: I

left the original with the tach gear as a core deposit.) Somewhere

around Tucomcari, NM, I hit snow squalls.

Every minute that went by caused me to wonder what would happen next.

Every click, clunk, tick or stumble had me gripping that big old

steering wheel even tighter. When I finally pulled into my mom`s drive I

was a nervous wreck. Not to mention that my back was killing me.

Piece of cake, they had superslabs in the 80s, country roads in the early

60s. ;-]] Still cleared Ky and Tn at over 100, at night.

Title: 9/25/2009 --it hits the fan
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:07:41 +0000
Author: seamorg

Today the world buzzes with reports of a secret nuclear site somehow unearthed in Iran (I haven’t heard how exactly this unfolded quite yet), and the dilemma: how to “punish” a country that is already knee deep in sanctions? An NPR piece summarized the following problem: even with the current multilateral sanctions on Iran, Iran’s GDP is estimated to grow 2% next year. Trade with Iran continues through Dubai. Clarification: just because the GDP grows, don’t mean the average man sees it. Average Iranians have lived with high unemployment, low income for years; the source was unclear whether this is thought to be an effect of the sanctions or of mismanagement [will post NPR link soon].

A few things to think about:

1. It is wrong to talk flippantly about how to punish a country. Iranians screamed out to the world that they are not their leaders and are prepared to die to change the actions of these leaders. We need to figure out how to punish/regulate the leaders, in partnership with the people.

2. There have never been complete sanctions on Iran and there probably will never be.

The unrecognized elephant in the room is that, if we were really to punish Iran and specifically Iranian leaders, we would stop them from selling oil. In order to do that, of course:

the rest of the world needs to stop using so much oil.

How silly of course. It’s easier to prohibit an entire nation (74million) of people from buying and selling the things they need for survival, such as: antibiotics, scholastic jourals, airplane parts, food, and even to consider military intervention, than to organize sanctions that would affect Iran’s leaders. A freeze on Iran’s oil would be harsh; but why not free up access to basic goods and freeze up the sale of oil. You’d see how quickly things change.
