Paul,
I am not sure why you went from supporting these great trucks to a homophobic-like statement.
PEOPLE of ALL walks of life have served in the armed forces. I did not, but I have served on the fire
dept for years, proudly along side PEOPLE of different sexual orientation, race, religion, and so on.
I am more concerned about a persons honesty, integrity, self respect, respect for others... than I am about
their sexual orientation, religion, race, or weather they own a Power wagon or not.

I find two things very interesting about your post.
The statement, "People always fear what they do not know." HOW TRUE!!! Personal insecurity quite often brings about
prejudice, which is having a dislike or hatred for a PERSON or group of PEOPLE, without having a valid or rational reason.

The second thing, is that you pick Gay Rights.
We who enjoy the antique vehicle hobby should take lessons from the Gay Rights organizers. THEY KNOW HOW TO FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS.
If we get organized and stick together and work hard at keeping our rights, we might find ourselves back in America again.

So check out these antique auto groups and get involved. Check your insurance company to see what they are doing. They have an interest
in this and a big lobby already in place. Lets use these site and the rest of the internet to educate people and develop a following.
We have to be organized, willing to work, and have definate goals in mind. This is where our energy should be.

I don't care if a PERSON is different than myself. I welcome that. I do care if someone is trying to take my rights away.
In America, I believe you should have the right to own a Power Wagon as well as think and feel the way you want, even if that means being prejudice-
BUT WHY WASTE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY.
Mark D.
