Last summer a young woman asked me "So what kind of Harley is that?" At first I tried to explain what a Triumph was but soon noticed the blank look of incomprehension on her face. I then told her it was made in China, she then nodded and walked away satisfied. I must admit, she looked really good in those leather chaps.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
