I would agree with what you say entirely if it were not for the fact that it's been clear throughout our history and to this day that the playing field for "choices" is not the same for everyone, the rules are simply different. We cannot, with a straight face, claim that everyone has the same choices and opportunity given the same level of motivation for a particular goal; it's just not so.

Recanting my post as I dont think I really want to get involved with this one.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

I know what a chipper is, but still don't get the quote

Near the end of the movie Fargo, some thugs are seen to be sticking a human into a big wood chipping machine.  Great scene.

This is boring. Yawn!

Everyone is right and everyone is wrong. There's too much chatter.

It's like who among us is the better driver.  I am.  At least I used to be.

I call this BS (blessedly symphonic). Go vote on November 4, Whoever you want to vote for. do your civic duty.

I don't really care mind how anyone thinks politically as long as it's not being forced down my throat.  Que sera sera or something like that.  That's better. ;D

Introducing the 2009 YZF-R1, the first ever production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. This all but eliminates undesirable inertial crankshaft torque, which allows the engine’s compression torque to build smoothly and provide a very linear power delivery out of the corners. It’s a feeling that’s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline 4.

The R1 features Yamaha D-MODE (or drive mode) with rider-selectable throttle control maps to program YCC-T performance characteristics for riding conditions. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. The “A” mode lets the rider enjoy sportier engine response in the low- to mid-speed range, and the “B” mode offers response that is somewhat less sharp response for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation.

The rear frame is now lightweight CF die-cast magnesium, contributing the optimum mass centralization. Suspension includes new SOQI front forks which use one of the tricks developed for our winning MotoGP bikes: independent damping. The left fork handles compression damping and the right side handles the rebound damping. And the rear shock adopts new bottom linkage for optimum suspension characteristics.

Completely new, the new model has a more serious, less busy look. The side fairing is smoother for a sleeker appearance. And, instead of the usual four bulb headlight design, the ’09 model now has only two projector-type bulbs mounted closer to the nose of the bike. This positions ram air ducts closer in for a more compact, smooth look. In addition, the rounded lenses are new and unique to the supersport industry.
