we'll see how much of that info is really solid. Parts are handled on an inquiry basis. no other dealers listed. probably just under construction. I hope.

quoted from elsewhere. origin unknown. "BACK TO THE NEW DEAL: RESTORE THE GLASS-STEAGAL FIREWALL Scribblers like Friedman and von Hayek were paid by finance oligarchs to wage a relentless war against that heritage of the Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal, the set of policies which allowed humanity to survive the Great Depression of the 1930s. The current crisis would not have been possible in the present form if the institutional safeguards enacted during the New Deal had been left in place, as they should have been. These safeguards represent permanent features of civilization, and they need to be restored. The best example is the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act under the Clinton administration in 1999. The Glass-Steagall Act was a classic piece of New Deal legislation which established that being a commercial bank and being a stockbroker are mutually exclusive activities that could not be legally combined in the same company. Commercial banking was one thing, and stock brokerage was something completely separate. Naturally, the greedy financiers and their spokesmen clamored for the repeal of Glass-Steagall, and they finally got their wish. Now less than 10 years later all of the Wall Street banks, seemingly without notable exceptions, are bankrupt and insolvent institutions that cannot not survive without a massive infusion of taxpayer money. We need to restore Glass- Steagal, which will mean among other things that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will not be eligible to become bank holding companies after all. If you don’t like your tax bill next year, you should thank Newt Gingrich and others who made it their business to destroy and roll back the achievements of the New Deal in the name of the despicable ideology of monetarism as preached by Friedman and von Hayek. Newt, by the way, is now calling for an immediate deflationary crash to find out what the real prices of housing might be. This is like doing experiments on your own flesh, and Newt should go to the funny farm. BACK TO THE NEW DEAL: RESTORE THE UPTICK RULE Another example is the uptick rule. This New Deal measure meant that it was illegal to sell a stock short if it were continuously in decline. The speculator had to wait until there was an uptick, meaning a trade in which the stock in question increased in price; only then could a short sale be carried out. Another piece of bitter irony inherent in the present crisis is that this uptick rule was abolished by the feckless and incompetent Chairman Cox of the Securities and Exchange Commission at the beginning of last summer, just in time for the explosion of the world credit crisis which has led to the current world economic depression. Incredibly enough, Chairman Cox of the SEC has been unable to pull himself together long enough to permanently re-impose the uptick rule. Instead, he has drawn up a list of 799 financial institutions and banks whose stock will now be illegal to sell short for at least 10 days, although one suspects that this prohibition will be prolonged indefinitely. This crackpot expedient reveals the true nature of the current monetarist regime. Shorting and destroying General Motors, which actually produces something useful, is fine, but no shorting of JP Morgan Chase, which is a public menace that produces nothing but toxic paper. The long-term roots of the current crisis go back to August 15, 1971, when Nixon, Kissinger, Arthur Burns and George Shultz wantonly destroyed the Bretton Woods system of fixed currency parities, ushering in the new world of financial risk which is now collapsing around us. NATIONALIZE THE FEDERAL RESERVE AS A BUREAU OF THE TREASURY The present crisis ought to provide the death warrant for the failed Federal Reserve System. When the Fed was created back under Woodrow Wilson, its Rockefeller and Morgan sponsors promised that the Fed would protect us against all future financial panics. The Fed failed once in 1929-1933, and now it is failing again for a second time. The Fed is worthless as a firewall against depression. We must therefore

Ron paul attributes the New Deal to starting this mess. i see the de jure and de facto dergulation of the New Deal last 25 years as the actual missing safety net.

thnak you. Though I d diagree w/ R Paul how to get out of this. letting those who assumed teh risk reap all teh rewrds should stand very true now. I would rather see a full $700T spend on infrastructure than to bailout millionaires. i know its against our elected reprsentatives self interest to it correctly once, as opposed to spend wrongly the first time and then spend to correct both instances of ineptitude.

http://inlinethumb33.webshots.com/8992/2239031920099946657S600x600Q85.jpg oddly my best pic of the 1/2 hood w/ double e-z in option. zipper sealed w/ velcro on the top mor better wind and precipitation protection. not as rigid as a one piece, but its very convienent. I never complain about the standard Caterham hood. if someone larger and older than me can get into, i can swallow my pride and look as ungainly as the next schmo sliding/falling in. Because everyone else looks funny once ur inside!

Do you use the handbrake when sitting at a stop light?
Boxologist replied to solder_guy's topic in Off Topic
thats reminds me of another reason why I use teh handbrake. the low masses of our se7ens allow us to be bumped further if another car hit us from behind and our feet come of the brake pedal. -
Where the heck are my stickers and membership cards?
Boxologist replied to Al N.'s topic in General Sevens Discussion
call up Topeka. i'd wait till the middle of the week so they can regroup from Solo Nats and the "I Hate Hollis" i told u so calls. The girls are very helpful and are the exact opposite of the Solo rulebook. they'll get u straightened out. -
Do you use the handbrake when sitting at a stop light?
Boxologist replied to solder_guy's topic in Off Topic
on a hill, yes, definitely. On level grades, probably about half the time. I never hold the clutch down, thats just for quickly getting into and out of gear, no need to add further work/wear to that system. Sometimes i have my foot engaging the brakes, sometimes not. i do pay attention whether i have a car behind me or coming up behind me so i can communicate by touching the brake pedal to let him know i'm stopped. -
