Yes, I admit they promote too many positions -- but I see them as being
over on the RIGHT side of the spectrum from where I'd like 'em to be,
that's a fact. 'Nuff said - good thing we don't argue politics here!
I don't read their monthly mailing, don't participate in their
sponsored-programs, don't do much but use the card -- but maybe, after
reading these reminders, maybe i won't bother renewing that membership.
It's ten bucks for a couple of years -- but ten bucks will buy me a
spark plug or a nitrous bottle refill, too -- and I know I'll get
pleasure from that!
