³It shook me a few years ago when the bin Laden letter was trending as being "rediscovered," and I realized I was surrounded by adults who don't remember reading it when it first came out because they weren't born or they were like 3 years old.
When they announced bin laden was killed I was at my apartment watching the Obama speech. I was and am of the opinion that the 9/11 commission report was not an honest analysis of the days events. When the narrative Obama stated was "we found bin laden, killed him, took him to a naval vessel, verified his DNA and dump the body overboard out of respect" that was the moment I said "oh, well Obama is one of the boys" like Bill hicks had said when Clinton started bombing Iraq.
I was sure that people, en masse, would look at the story presented and say "Oh that's bullshit, how did they have his DNA? Is there a little DNA on every naval vessel in the gulf? They have instant Bin laden DNA tests, I thought that took weeks. The government is lying about 9/11 and now everyone will see it!!!"
Instead there was footage of a bunch of georgetown undergrads having a kegger outside of the Capitol and chrering. After I did the math and determined these kids were about 9 during 9/11 I thought "what is their problem with 9/11, did it interrupt spongebob".
Now older i realize these kids were probably inudated with fear porn in public school and were celebrating the death of the person they were made to fear their entire formative years. Its like if when i was 9 someone told me cobra commander was real and when i was 19 lt falcon announced Gung-Ho had just capped him. I probably would have used it as an excuse to get drunk on a Wednesday.
Tires do not cost that much.
Buddy if the arguement is "used/retread/patched tires are dangerous" and your reply is "just buy the 80$ ones at walmart" I don't know what point you're trying to make. North of the Mason Dixon line where it snows 6 months a year adequate new tires are 100% gonna cost you 200$ a tire on the low end for a sedan, god help you if you have a pickup.
