The whole story is outlandish. I watched the testimony of Breger and kept feeling like I had inadvertently clicked on a TV show. Having said that, the entirety of the last 6 years has been outlandish. At some point, the truth behind all this madness has to be revealed, and I can't think of any way to explain it all that isn't like we've been "watching a movie".
Cool! CJ-7 for me. I once stalled in the middle of a major intersection during rush hour, in the rain. I used the starter to get out of traffic then limped half a kilometer to Canadian Tire. It would run sporadically, then die. Sometimes hundreds of feet, sometimes 10. When I got to Canadian Tire, it was pouring, so I drove just under the entrance overhang, 10 feet from the door. I spent hours there, diagnosing, buying parts, rediagnosing, buying more parts. EVERY guy that was coming or going felt the need to give his 2 cents worth. It was appreciated at first, but then I found myself spending more time explaining the same thing to more and more people. Store security got annoyed and said I'd have to move. I said I was trying and that I was a repeat customer.
They've become so ubiquitous that people forget there was a time that they didn't exist. I used to have a Jeep that was constantly breaking down. I kept a big box of tools and spares in the back and a bunch of quarters taped to the dash for payphone use. The quarters only use was for buying cheap draft beer when I ran out of cash.
Polio declined as DDT usage did. Now we have vaccine-induced polio, whose only cure is the vaccine that caused it. The polio vaccines killed and maimed kids, including the grand-children of Dr. Oechsner, who paraded them in front of cameras to be jabbed in order to allay the fears of parents.
What a Beautiful World This Will Be
