Ya know....if I had the chance to meet DK at a taco stand, we would likely hit it off real well talking about Baja. We both love it....DK is more
fortunate than I am as he has been going to THE Baja much longer than I have, and he is much closer. I envy him for that.
And.....I just get so damned turned off/agitated (another self-contradiction  ) when he gets into these stoopid political rants....it brings out the republican in me (i.e. I want to get a gun and shoot him
...["not a threat, your honour....it was a rhetorical comment"].
There is an illness at work here....(not DK)....with these mass shootings/bombings. I wish your countrymen/women the wisdom and strength to figure it
out before the empire consumes itself.
The world is a crazier place than what we grew up in....or it sure seems like it

Any of you who have gone this long seeing DK voice his personal opinions, and still let it bother you, should take back control of your emotions and
quit being voluntary victims.
You know you arn't going to agree with him, so why read his posts in hot threads?
And.....quit trying to tell him not to express himself in his chosen way. He's allowed that.
It's the effing American way.

When we down to Cabo last may I noticed the stewardess serving wine from a glass bottle, yet they take away your shampoo if the bottle holds more than
4 ounces~ Hmm broken wine bottle or shampoo bottle?

Well, then commenting on it is also the "American Way", isn't it?
DK could follow your advice (as contradictory as it is) as well. And DK's way isn't necessarily the American Way....but if it is, that's a scary
thought.

Plenty of room for non fact based opinions in the OT. Just saying if you have a political rant you should post it over there as to not embarrass
yourself here.

It's a monotheistic site.
No comment on the spelling nonsense. I quit paying attention to that years ago. It's all so simple.

Who said I was talking about DK????
Was being vague intentionally.
DK and I share a love for Baja and also live in the same city. I need to get to know him more to determine if he's capable of embarrassment.
I like to be nice, as I think it counters the part of me that wants to be mean!!!!

(from the Caribbean). Secondhand info said the CBP officer said pressure cookers coming the other way would be seized as well. This is getting kinda
stupid. I guess some areas have USA inspections looking for guns or money coming into Mexico. Ah man I had plans to buy one in the states.
I can just see it:
"Sorry sir! Electric wire, cookware, butane cylinders, alarm clocks, cellular phones, nails, ball bearings, and every other device or item that can
conceivably be used to build an explosive device is now being confiscated". |
You forgot garage door openers commonly used to remotely trigger IEDs.

I find it pathetic that after 911, politicians were accused of not being patriotic if they didn't wear a flag lapel. But just yesterday, there were
plenty of people bashing the President. Like the President or not, people need to come together after a tragedy just like they did after 911. It's
completely disrespectful to bash on the President in my opinion.
And DK, quit lecturing us on the "American Way"....we all have our own experiences and beliefs...yours are no better than ours.

I will try and lighten up this thread and get back to enjoying learning and sharing things about Baja.
Boy, some of you are grumpy old people!
But first, regarding all of the above, there was a comedian that said after Richard Reid tried to blow up a plane after his shoe had an explosive, we
are lucky he did not put the explosive in his hair or we would all have to shave our heads.
Think about it and all the craziness and hysteria that OUR government puts us through.

We have to read his posts because he ambushes us by sneaking his ideology into so many threads. If he doesn't want the criticism, he should think
(what a novel idea) before he pushes the send button. He then has a second chance to edit it out.
Yes, he has a right to "express himself in his chosen way", but it is so inappropriate, so tiresome, and it is also a very effective hijack. It
screams for attention. It is pitiful. Then he lays down, belly up and cries defensively; always the victim. And he doesn't have the cajones to take
it to Off Topic. In there, I would debate him if he shows respect. If he wants a fight, I would verbally cut him three ways; Deep, Wide and Often!
