A spill over from my work life is that for most anything I try I formulate an actual test plan first and establish what the objective is, and what must happen or what indicates that the objective has been met. My testing a car tire on the back of my Honda VTX is no different. [...]
“It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.” Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia Query 19, 1781
Let the pols decry and demean the citizens showing up at town hall meetings to express their concern over ObamaKennedy Care… the London Telegraph once again illustrates our concern is far from unfounded.
