TDD


It's a good thing for us that folks who said that the infrastructure was
not in place and that the moonbats were trying to replace horses and
buggys with new-fangled automobiles were unable to convince the
citizenry of their anti-progressive ways. What model carriage do you
drive, sir? :-)


The new model carriages were not forced on anyone. *There *IS* a

Not to mention that the new-fangled autos had clear

Back in 1900 cars were only for the rich too.
Everybody else was a hippy but not by choice.
