    State of the Union

    People want whats best for them, so the people on this board want government subsidized travel and thats ok. But lets call it what it is. I am going to Chicago and on to New Orleans on a government welfare transit program. How am i wrong?

    caravan...I have no idea. I am sure it varies from town to town and state to state...Mine has a belt clip and i keep it clipped inside me jeans when I travel. Im not exactly one to follow the rule of law line by line. I think protecting myself and those around me is more Important. imho
