acptulsa's excellent adventure

[kaleidoscope eyes]

Now that I'm home, I find the agents of divisiveness all over the forum and in overdrive. I'm ready to go back...

Two moments of the R4R almost had me in tears. One was when Ron Paul said that the young people in the movement are saying he cured their apathy, but they also cured his cynicism. The other was right after when he said that those of us who have been quietly preaching this message for decades amid tons of scorn and derision will be standing up to be counted--and we are numerous.

We will not agree on everything but I can guarantee you that as long as we remember that the American way is to fight to the death for the right of people you disagree with to say what they think, we will be fine. Are we American enough to do it?!

We have something going here. It's patriotic, it's healthy, and it has momentum (which is greater than gold). Are we going to let this train get derailed by saboteurs down the track, or are we going to do great things for our children?

That's probably what makes me love RP most of all, here he is, 30 years of what must feel like bashing his head against a brick wall, being shunned, ignored, and laughed at, but he kept at it, integrity intact. Now, all his hard work may not have been in vain. It must be gratifying to know he will leave a permanent legacy, (well, besides his 5 kids and all the grandchildren of course!) in American history. God bless ya Ron Paul, we may save our county yet!

Thanks for the pics Acptulsa!!! They are awesome.

I totally agree with everyone here.. It was an epic moment and I look forward to the next event!!

Lol, why is there a photo pointing inside the Womens' restroom?

I like the photo of the beer "booth." I remember standing in line for 2 hours to get beer. So when I finally got up there, I bought 4.

Yeah, that was a hell of a line. It never seemed to shrink until right at the end.

As for the mirror, I thought it a strange place to put one. Could have been worse--the one on the mens' room wall showed the urinal troughs--and no divider walls! One wonders why they didn't just put them on the outside wall...

Could be worse...

Well, RPH, I apologize. I forgot my own Second Rule of Deep Field--always focus more on the closer subject than the one more distant. Know anyone with photoshop?



Had such high hopes for this one, too...

Well, that's not the way I remember you, but thanks!

Mainly I remember you had one hell of a tan. Not exactly what Green Bay is known for, but after walking that far I doubt you were suffering from a vitamin D deficiency.

Somebody said 'Ronstock' bump.
