Something Like ...

I just got done reading an editorial in one of the many hobby related magazines available at your newsstand. In this article it made mention of the fact that we are like a giant family. A creature that gathers its many children together and pulls for a cause or organization when called upon for that reason.

We also take care of each other and keeping an eye on those that are in need or in trouble. We noticed this in a major way this past year with a couple of benefits for individuals and organizations that helped stem the tide monetarily and in some cases help raise the morale of our fellow hobbyist.

The big thing that got my attention about this editorial was the mention of the fact that we have this spirit, this family feeling year round. That a majority of the other population in the world around us only has this spirit or feeling about 3 weeks a year, mostly during Christmas.

They say we are Outlaws in a sense, as we use to much Gasoline and are a cause of global warming. They say are vehicles are dangerous and need to be removed from society. They say we are old dinosaurs that will soon be legislated into a nonexistence.

I say they need to come with us for a time and see and feel our family of friends and acquaintances. To see what family is all about. To see what fun can be had and adventures planned.

I feel sorry for those that have no sense of family and wish not to follow those that do. They don't know what they are missing
