A forum like that would probably rival the old 'IDLSWDY?'

I'll never tell and the hosts will breathe a sigh of relief.

Honda and Toyota have manufacturing facilities in Alabama.
My guess is Honda, since they have less of a manufacturing base in the United States.
I don't expect a reply until the 'deal is done' and I think at worst, I have a 50/50 chance.

I don't like SUVs, why do you?"
 
>solely to politics.
 
I was there. For a long time the discussion was civil and among adults. But things went bad as the topics became those about which people have more emotional person fixation.

We did have such a place. It didn't go well, and it took more of my moderation time than all other discussions combined
 
It's a good thing we are such good boys, we want to make your job as easy as possible.

"...by refusing to pay any of his speeding tickets."
 
LOL! Now that we've moved back home, I don't worry about tickets as long as I stay in town. The police force supported me years ago in my run for city council. Now they just wave as I go flying by.
 
As for hiring an attorney, I have always found it to be beneficial. My insurance doesn't go up and I don't get points against my license. Also, in cases where the speed was excessive, I don't lose my license for 30-90 days. The $300 to hire an attorney is also a tax deduction for business expenses. In North Carolina, it works for me. Good luck with your ticket, and let us know how it works out.

You moderated a political forum? That had to be the job from hell! I once moderated a debate with six candidates for county sheriff. That one lasted 90 minutes, followed by another debate with eight candidates for county commissioner. That one lasted two hours. When I got home that evening, I told my wife that I would NEVER subject myself to that mayhem again! Southern politicians can be like a bunch of attack dogs---and the audience isn't any better.

Thanks for the heads up about Honda in Alabama. That's very interesting. I'll let you know what happens.
