(It's ten years old though, so I honestly don't take offense! ;) )Thankfully we have a more economical car to rely on for most of our shuffling around, but the Sub sure comes in handy when I need 4-wheel drive to get up our icy winter hills, or have a lot of kids to tote to Awana with us. What I wanted to comment on MIn, was something I read in Proverbs that really seems profound in light of all the "promised changes" these politicians are boasting about... Proverbs 24:21, "My son, fear the Lord and the king; Do not associate with those who are given to change; For their calamity will rise suddenly. And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?" Hmmm... Ouch, I see what Doug’s saying but hate to be considered “stupid” because we drive a gas-chugging Suburban.

Our government's been fairly lax to people, which may be why we have such an insurmountable deficit.

No dealer keeps anything on their lot that is over a year old. Therefore a year ago they made a decision to invest in Trucks and SUV's. That is absolute brilliance! I see no reason to protect them from their decision. That is one of the advantages of a capitalistic society. Those companies that do not meet the needs of their customers (which involves anticipating future needs), cease to exist and are replaced by companies who thought ahead.
