Participant[quote=CDMA ENG]I was raised a mormon, a good one too not a jack, and knowing what the beliefs are I can not get behind Romney. Someone on the thread said common sense, maybe true, but he is one of those people that can easily but aside common sense to validate whatever they want.

It’s very interesting to me you bring this up. During my fellowship in LA I worked with an old GYN, former chair of the department that is also a Mormon. He actually knows Romney personally and he once made a very similar statement to the one you just wrote.
I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t get excited about him. Kind of the way I felt about Dole in ’96. I have a feeling the nominee is going to be someone who will suddenly come out of nowhere.

ParticipantI’m really not bitter at all about the gas savings a Prius gets compared to my bicycle. Now if Toyota could harness the gas I have while riding, that would indeed be impressive!
I’m harsh on Prius drivers because of the way they treat me when I share the road with them. I am also harsh on pickups/SUV’s for the same reason. And honestly, if gas savings were really my only issue I’d buy a VW diesel.

ParticipantYou obviously didn’t read my comments in the prior “Why do you hate the Prius” thread. This incident didn’t germinate my hatred for Prius drivers, it merely confirmed it. As I stated in the prior discussion, these drivers tend to be among the most discourteous, along with their SUV driving cousins.
I do agree with you though, the SUV’s are quite a bit more dangerous, and I’m quite certain I wouldn’t be typing this if I had bounced off a Suburban on Monday.

Participant[quote=eavesdropper] Really crummy self-involved driving is practically a professional sport in these parts. Driving under the influence is an employee benefit if you’re a senator or congressman.[/quote]
Boy aint that the truth. By far the rudest, shittiest, unfriendly drivers I have EVER encountered, and as a military person I’ve driven and ridden all over the world. I could perhaps forgive them if they were GOOD drivers, like the ones in Japan, but they aren’t. Plowing around in 3000lb Gucci purses. To make matters worse, I get called an effin asshole about once a week for daring to exist on their blessed roads.
I’m about to leave for a little stint in the middle east, but when I get back we have one more year here. After that I have orders to Okinawa, which is just fine with me. We’ll be looking to return to SD around 2014-15. Maybe Carmel Valley will be affordable by then 🙂
