Subject:Let's Drop It! - Jim Alfredson's New Project - Tribute to Big John Patton

I think it's tabout ime that we dropped this thread... and let's do it before we insult and offend some other portion of the population.. !
 
I think it's pretty clear what our moderators thoughts are on this thread, and when it somehow veers into comments on medicaid and foodstamps I think it's obvious that it's gone over the line into the area of politics and religion... which we should all know has no business on the clonewheel forum.
 
Thanks.
 
Craig

Funny that Don Henley is now anti-record company money and now pro Walmant whose employees represent the largest group of Medicaid and food stamp recipients in many states, costing the taxpayer $1,000 per worker.. Ah, the irony:)

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Cheers,
Rock
