Too many of what? Wives, ex-girlfriends or rosebushes??
This street bike thing is all new to me.
Snowmobiles-I have a bunch of those.

What makes me crazy and annoyed is paying egregious sums of money to be part of a "special club" where I am then told on numerous occasions how unwelcome I am in said "special club."

Needless to say, they ain't getting any more money from me.

What would you consider to be 'egregious sums of money'?

Got trees, no herring.

Nope, very disappointed over that.  I keep looking when the UPS/Fedex trucks come by...but nothing.  :'(

Hmm, the UPS guy just planted a nice new shrub in his front yard. That must have been the one intended for you.

People blocking one of the major connections between New York and New Jersey to protest a LEO doing his job and keeping over 100k people from going home to their families drives me completely up the wall...

So... you had a few hundred blocking many thousand? And they submitted to being blocked? What happened to good old fashion road rage?

What happens with road rage is that nothing ever gets better..it always gets worse.  The driver and passengers of that car are lucky that they weren't dragged out and beaten or worse.  You have a mob with a mob mentality.  For that car to do what it did, the police weren't handling the situation and protecting the non-protestors.  It never should have got to the point where a driver felt that they had to run into the crowd to get through.

Seems like there's a gang of professional community organizers around the country throwing meat to the mob. Some of the news feeds look like an episode of The Walking Dead.

I absolutely agree with your thought here Jim but am not sure the execution is possible. I mean there are not enough LEOs in the country to maintain order in a population that is hell- bent on chaos. There are certainly reactions and adjustments that can be made but order will only be restored is a sufficient percentage of the population (by far the great majority) wish it to be so. Otherwise the reactions and adjustments will not only be unpleasant but unsuccessful in the long term.
