  14.  @kenwilliamsvoice  I am with ya man. Getting older white guy here who spent my life following my desires, (instead of becoming a political activist graduate), and after decades of school and work in manufacturing, I started my own little business. I did it part time for about 3 years, and it took off like it was alive. I was then making 6 figures out of my one car garage, and obama got elected. I turned on the news for the first time in my life, (remember, I was busy chasing my rational desires), and I asked myself, "What country is this from", (even Fox). I loved Trump in 2012 when he would talk for 10 minutes about unfair trade. I would turn the radio volume up all the way, (so my then progressively educated neighbors could, but I am sure was not listening), and dance in my front yard until he stopped talking. After obama got elected, I had a real hard time psychologically for about 3 years, than I discovered the writing of Ayn Rand, and I am not frustrated anymore, (I always hated the outsourcing to china for the last 3 decades, which set up my frustrations). Capitalism belongs to us! Every man woman and even child, not only in the USA, but the world! It is called communism when the governments run, (ruins) the economy. It is our ability to think to create business with individual liberty protected by law that creates a civil and prosperous society, and I have a simple example. Lest say you and I were taught to hate each other. But if we still have the liberty to create our own businesses, we might end up doing business together, (trading money instead of blood), like you own a print shop, and I need printing done. I dig your quality, price, on time delivery, and we start making more money together. What do we become? Friends. Capitalism(free market) belongs to us citizens. We invented it which individual liberty allowed, and it is being stolen from us because the rules of the world don't want us making big money, (a Pizza shop is OK though). If you notice in many industries today, there are no beginners allowed. Maybe that is why I modify small 2-stroke gas engines for a living today, instead of making automobiles. RIP Preston Thomas Tucker. With everybody I do business with, from the store teller to my customers to my bank, after the transaction, I now always say, "It was a pleasure doing business with you.", because I now know how special doing business with each other really is.

  34. When you add the effects of compression and rebound dampening (oil damper), this gets much more complicated than just a spring with no damper. In fact, a spring alone does a terrible job of keeping the wheel on the ground. Playing with dirt bike suspension in the good old days of Motocross (using about 12" of travel), I found I actually got a plusher ride with a stiffer spring (front forks, and very little preload on the springs), that still resisted big bumps with less compression dampening, and more rebound dampening (assuming the dampers were set correctly with the stock springs). As for the preloaded travel of a dirt bike, you pretty much want your suspension to have eaten up about 33% of the total travel with you on the bike, no matter what your spring rates are, and that is adjusted by a preload ring that compresses the spring. But, if you add the dampening,--I bet the math work goes up exponentially---but it still has to work as well in the real world, and will need field testing to fix. Sophisticated suspension, (depending on the demands and severity of the application), seems to be one of those things that almost never comes off the drawing table very well. You should look at some of the front forks of MX bikes today. Nobody knows how to adjust them, there are so many knobs and air chambers. But one fork on Yamaha the kabaya (sp) SSS forks, that is over 10 yer old technology, and still uses a spring, romps them all in overall performance and probably every category. You post great stuff young man. I hope there are more like you.

  73. I knew it all my adult life, (mid 50's old Polock here), that neither party was protecting our liberty, (and no party does protect individual liberty in all of Western Culture). I like Candace also. I think she is learning in the proper direction, but until we can replace all politicians with liberty minded people who understand that it is the proper function of government to protect our liberty, (not incrementally destroy it), to promote the best education in the world in the USA, (if involved with education at all), and to give capitalism back to the citizenry so we can all chase our dreams, and even get rich, (It is called communism when the government runs the economy). I for one am tired of seeing both parties destroy our opportunity, then treat us like children. I am tired of all the government ads on the radio, the baby sitter for the poor stupid citizenry, (some time playing more than 6 times in a row, like Mao in our faces. When Candace realizes this is not a party fight for liberty, (that will never happen), but a ideological fight all the way down to the core of philosophy, then,---well,---I think we will like her very much more, and her donations would probably go up. She should read some Ayn Rand. The best philosopher for man's individual liberty the world has ever seen. Yea, every commie hated her. :) If most of us can reignite the philosophies of "Individual Liberty", that created our freedom in the first place (and is the philosophy's that freed Black people in 1863), only then will we be able to move back into the direction of individual liberty protected by law (and is color blind). Don't forget about "our capitalism" also. Even if we were taught to hate each other because we are different races, If we do business together, (because we both do good work, and provide a good service, we both benefit), we become friends. There are only 2 things that create a civil and prosperous society, (and I experienced some of both). 1) Living under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, (not allowed to commit crimes on others, which is a infringement of liberty). 2) The free market owned by the citizens, (so we can use our minds to chase our dreams). How are we suppose to chase our dreams with out capitalism in our hands? We can't. If that makes sense, read Ayn Rand's stuff, (non-fiction first).

  97. Mr. Brown man! Lyrics, and why I wrote them: (to help us understand how we save our freedoms). I graduated rural Michigan HS in 81, just as the outsourcing of our production to communism, (china), and I got into manufacturing. Even at that naive age, I knew "Production or Poverty" was our real choice, (And still is, always will be.). Since then, (after decades of experience at many different shops, earning a total of self paid 3 college degrees in manufacturing, making little money until I started my own business,) I have learned why our free market is not compatible with communism. It is because they are based on two different philosophies. The free market was created by free people, who were living under the philosophies of "Individual Liberty", (that gave them the freedom to start their own business or industry), and communism does not recognize individual liberty at all. Which philosophies do you think are winning today? I wrote these song lyrics back under the dictatorship of obama, but I can't play anything, (and I blame a 8th grade band instructor, or I could have been one heck of a good Trumpet Musician). If you like them Mr. Brown, (and a good voice you have), you can have them. But I do expect a small percentage of royalties if you make money with it, because that is good business. If we only do business with good people, we will only have good business. Doug Johns, Freesoil Michigan. If you make these lyrics famous,----------------you will have done a immeasurable, (and a lot), to help Americans understand the opportunity and liberty they are giving up. To hell with "their issues". All they do is divide us more. "It's Our Turn". Take those lyrics, and put them in everybody's mind. I understand what needs to be heard to save the philosophies that created our liberty in the first place. I can write more. Title-----------”WE THE PEOPLE”- BUILT THIS PLACE!” “Once a great nation, turning into dust. No oil, no movement, it is us who look like rust. We used to build things, we used to achieve. But we can’t keep it now, because of Intellectual thieves. We made product here, and shipped it with care. Spider webbed our economy and taught our Children “Go get it--it is right there!” Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here. We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear. We can do it again, if we just understand. That Capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.” “Capitalism belongs to you and me. Not government(s) to take over and ship over seas. I can build a car, much like the once great Henry Ford, But not allowed now, because of regulation boards. Why is it, in the Land of Opportunity, We have auto companies--that may only total 3, oops 2? Allowed to achieve, we will show the noble way, To tomorrows renaissance, and keep poverty at bay.” “Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here. We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear. We can do it again, if we just understand. That Capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.” “We know business belongs to you and me. It is our opportunity, it is our prosperity. “Good will” as we trade, and watch every one win. Any other way, can be considered a sin. (repeat line) These Industries we built, with our brain and our hands. So beware of the master minds, who claim to have better plans. Always remember, and never forget-- WE THE PEOPLE BUILT THIS PLACE, AND WE AIN’T DONE YET!!! Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here. We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear. We can do it again, if we just understand. That capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.” “Spoken word” at the end.---“Hmmm--I thought it was called communism, when the government ran the economy. Isn’t that right?”

  122. A stolen American dream that could have been inspiration for decades. But nobody really pegs who the thieves are/were who stole the Tucker dream from them (yes, it was stolen---I am not setting the narrative). The free enterprise system does not mean that government gets in relations with business to give favor or punishment to who they choose. Henry Ford was one of the first companies to get in bed with government. Why did he do it? Because he was facing a lot of great competition, and found it easier to get political favors, (against his competition), than to face a man of ability in the free market. Why does government have a interest (and ignore the responsibility of protecting Tuckers rights in a free enterprise system) with Ford, and others of major industry (where it started)? Because it gave government a avenue to grow their power over us. Now we have a fascistic crony system---where there are no beginners allowed in just about every industry. Tucker was a direct victim of what we are all really victims of,---the theft of our individual rights, and our capitalism. Demand your "individual rights protected by law" back: ----- The major car companies could not take down Tucker with out government favors, with laws that protect his individual rights, no company could effect another in a underhanded way. Demand "your capitalism" back:-----Meaning a separation of business and state, putting capitalism back in you hands where it belongs---so we can compete. Any other way of life more resembles groups of farm animals making up a population, and not thinking human beings. Your brain has the right to be free. Your brain has the right to think. You have the right to compete. Demand it.

  144. Does anybody, (including Mr. Serling), know why the USA was considered 'exceptional"? Answer: Because we were based on the Aristotelian philosophies of "individual liberty protected by law", and the rest of the world was based in some form of government ruling over the citizens, (and is again). It was actually the philosophies of our founding, of "individual liberty" that finally freed the Blacks from forced labor; (that existed as a economic backbone before the nation was formed), the opposite philosophies of collectivism enslaves people, and has never granted more freedom to any citizenry. But the USA did not, and do not increasingly today, always protect the individual (as is their proper purpose), as we see. Can't we see that every complaint about injustices in the USA's history and present, especially from the left (collectivism), is actually a infringement on "Individual liberty"? "Black rights, Woman's rights, Gay rights, etc etc, and complaint is a infringement of "individual liberty" (It takes "Political will" to protect individual liberty, and that will is 99.9% gone in both parties; so what direction does that leave us?) Please, make that point to anybody that taught you to hate the USA, and it's founding, (that every complaint of the USA is a infringement of individual liberty), then ask they why they desire the opposite philosophies of socialsim-communism, (the opposite of "individual liberty") to fix it. Racism comes from collectivism, (socialism-communism). It is used to divide a more free society, to get the people arguing/fighting with each other, and killing each other. But if you believe in "individual liberty protected by law", where every human being is a body with their own brain, (all equal at birth), and has the right to use it to the best of their ability, to achieve, and gain dignity, happiness and wealth, but does not have the right to hinder anybody else's dream (outside of moral business competition), than "Racism" can not exist in your mind. I don't care what color you are, (or even if you have been taught to hate me), if we have individual liberty and the right to do business, and do business together, we become friends, working for our own interests together by free will. "Group rights" do not exist! Where are they written down? Don't fall for that primitive tribal warfare crap! Only "individual rights" exist. When the fighting is done (and it never is under collectivism), and "individual liberty" is gone (because we ignore it in every argument), you will find there will be no rights at all. Mr. Rod Serling, along with most of our society today, did/do not know how to end racism; and that is to preach individualism, (protected by political will/law), over collectivism.

  335. I lost you in 38 seconds @ "Child labor", (even though I started working when I was 10, by free will mind you, and loved every dollar I made). I don't need to see anymore to realize you think state education is the way to go. That is what we have now, and why see math science and reading down to about 30th in the world, during the De-industrialization of the USA over the last 30 plus years. How old are you son? We are all born into the USA of today, not knowing how great it was yesterday, (since progressive communistic groups took over our education starting over 100 years ago, "especially the study of law", and incrementally getting more dominant over the years, with "American value's of individual liberty and a citizen owned free enterprise system" destroyed, replaced with any, "non-productive", perversion in the youngest of grade schools today). Why do you support the failure of state run education, and the destruction of the individual mind? Don't you think "We", in the private sector have the interest to do a better job? (and the talent). Look at these kids graduating college today! A child learning how to talk can form concepts based in reality, naturally and more efficiently, than a college grad activist today. THE PRECEPTS YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT IS NOT REALITY, you have to discover reality with your own senses and mind, and not take anybody's word for it, or you will be programmed by some group, (picking the one that reflects your young limited life experience the most to what you think you know at that point,----but never exactly what you know to that point). Progressive/communist education sucks man---and it already made you a "Ward of the State". I wonder if my next question is confusing to you at this time in your life: Your a young man. What do you want to be when you grow up? Did you want to do this, (fight against individual liberty, is exactly what you are doing)?

  505. I know why Sage is so happy all the time. I know exactly why. I have felt it myself, and it is awesome. As our society falls deeper into government control, it becomes harder to achieve your personal dreams, if we dream at all anymore. Individual achievement is not easy today, (But still can be done if you don't follow others,--but use your own brain to figure things out. You can trust yourself.), and for those who have stopped dreaming/working for their own goals, there will be stories in the media on how you can be happy in our decline. They will tell to do yoga, or paint a picture (and how ugly will that be from a person with no dreams?), or give away something to somebody else,---who you may not even know, just because they dreamed less than you did. Or they may show you how Chinese people try to stay happy living under their brutal dictatorship, and even how eating bugs is actually a delicacy. Hmmmmm---yum yum? BULL HOCKEY to all, of that! Sage Northcut is happy all the time, because he has been a "achiever" all of his life. It is personal achievement, were man and mind became a success---where true happiness is found, and nobody can "talk" it out of you after you earned that happiness. Sage is actually experiencing a freedom that not many try to earn, and I am damn happy for him also. He is a lesson to learn from IMO, even though he is so young. That is what our Founding fathers meant when they said "Your right to pursue happiness". It means your right to achieve your dreams in anything you can think of (as long as you don't step on somebody elses opportunity to compete--by getting unfair and criminal advantages), weather it be in science to sports, -------and not be a slave "for the good of the all". Nothing great ever came out of that.

  513. There are some good teachers left, but the amount of work is not the issue. The philosophies/ideologies based on who's interests run the schools, and select the mandatory content, (which is no doubt government agenda driven),---is the issue. I have a joke that I tell any young couple with young kids in public area's: "Do you know I consider your child "unlimited potential". I consider every child unlimited potential. Then what do we do?, we send them to public school and destroy all that potential." I know you are not laughing about that reality joke, because the only parents who don't are teachers. Like I said, it is not about your effort, but the direction your effort is mandated to go. You should have seen the last of the pretty good public education when I was 5, and we just put a man on the moon. We were all told to go for our dreams, and many did. Now it is taught that those dreams never existed, and we must work for "the good of the all". If we don't teach how important, and how great the USA was when it was based on "individual liberty", (which is color blind with political will), like no other nation was, than we have no other direction to go, but into communism. It's always a liberty vs communistic ideology thing. The schools need to teach our founding of individual liberty (which is the only civil morality) accurately, to give us a choice of our freedom, (because we can think), and the collectivism that is only taught now. I did a tiny bit of teaching in a industry I work in for a employer, and found out I am pretty good at it. It was in the private manufacturing sector, and I taught a bit of programming to our customers employees, so it was not politically involved at all. It felt great, actually helping these guys learn how to help develop new processes. I don't think it would feel as good, if I knew I was destroying those employee minds by mandate. Sorry,---it is a dirty trick they use. You can compete with that!!! :) (and be a hero).

  564. Actually, there are racers in the SX and MX series from all over the world. Well, at least those nations who had enough free enterprise so people could afford a bike. France, Germany, Australia, have champions on the starting line now, and more who can win a championship. A Japanese guy is super fast, (but hurt now), this year for one example. that I can think of off the top of my head. But many riders from any nation where guys can get enough talent. In fact, the sport of Motocross (MX, where Supercross (SX) evolved from in the USA with stadium racing in 1972.), was brought here in 1968 from Europe. They started racing 'Motocross" in Europe after WW2 and had many manufactures. We had Harley Davidson, and those guys coming home from war started the Hell's Angels instead. But the main reason why the USA did not have more motorcycle's to choose from, is because of the new affordable car, the Ford model T. We did not have the consumer interest as Europe did for Motorcycles, because we could for the first time in man;s history, afford a car. It was a importer named Edison Dye, who brought the Swedish made MX bike "Husqvarna" to the USA in 1968 that started the sport. By 1981, the American were the best in the world, winning the great annual international race (after our series's are over) now called the "Motocross of Nations" for the next 13 years in a row, (streak ended in 1994). The sport was better back then. It was much more free to grow and prosper,---and it did. The sport is actually about 1/10th the size it was until about 1985 if measured in bike sales. The EPA forced a very expensive 4-stroke engine on the industry, and now the sport is just for people who are making a pretty healthy 6 figure income. I bought my first 3 bikes, in 6 years starting in 76 at the age of 12, making $1.00/hr part time for about $800.00 new.

  1112. USA economic history in a nut shell: We started out almost Laissez-faire. It lasted about 100 years. As soon as we, with our individual liberty, built this place with our brains, creating the free enterprise system that is the world champion for getting people out of poverty,- it started being taken away from us in the first 2 decades of the 1900's, (when the anti-free enterprise progressive movement started in the USA, taught in our universities, and invaded our study of law first), and our individual liberty and the free enterprise system that we built as free people, started being stolen from us, and we let it happen. Later, (entering my lifetime, starting the day after JFK was buried) we campaigned against communist Russia and Cuba, but we always nurtured china communism since their civil war. Our individual liberty, (the real rights of man), and the free enterprise system that WE INVENTED, has almost all been handed over to communist china over the last 2 generations. Here we are, communism in our face. Is it a surprise? Our free enterprise system came from the philosophies of individual liberty, because individuals have a mind that can reason, (if practiced). Communism does not recognize the individual rights of man, and therefore, the two philosophies, (systems), can not co-exist trying to do business with each other. The 2 philosophies are not compatible. Is there an economist alive who understands that? Is there a politician alive who understand that. Is there a teacher/professor alive who understands that?

  1269. Free trade and communism---is where I disagree with him. If this nation was based on individual liberty (and it was), and the citizens started a free enterprise system as part of our individual liberty, (and they did), how can it be possible that communism and capitalism are compatible, when china does not recognize individual liberty at all? There can be no individual liberty with out a citizen owned free enterprise system, and there can be no free enterprise system with out individual liberty protected by law. If you have no right to use your brain and compete in a free enterprise system, (how we created all businesses and all industries), than you have no right to be anything more than a "worker" or slave to a government run economic system. Bottom line IMO is, we can't do business with communist nations, so if they produce product to sell, cheaper because of slave labor, we have to tariff them. But it is best that we do not do business with them at all, until they recognize their own citizens individual liberty and free enterprise as part of that individual liberty. That is the only way to lose all tariffs, and not lose your production. There is no such thing as "free trade" with communist nations. It is actually international redistribution of production, and wealth earned from a citizenry to the government(s). There is no "free trade" in communism,---only forced labor and materialistic wages with no opportunity, not only for the people who are not working, but no opportunity for people who are working. Doing business with communist nations (which can only be done through government agreements--leading to international redistribution), is like having a Christmas party and inviting isis. It's just is not compatible. It is no more compatible then the philosophies of individualism vs collectivism,---100% incompatible.

  1276. I don't see it you you petty jealous----folks. I don't like to demonize people because they have money, but it does depend on how they make it, not spend it. How did these kids parents make all this money? Well, it was at your expense you see. China did not make product to sell in a free market way at all, but a hybrid/perverted of government running business--and getting huge cuts to build their Military and breed kids who reap the benefits. The kids are nothing but a by-product, kids of communist leaders who are stealing our capitalism from us---with our own government help. You see, capitalism is suppose to belong to us citizens, so we can chase our dreams. We also have to have "individual rights protected by law" so we don't kill each other for a buck. But with communism, only people in high government places get the money, and their business partners---just like the USA today (will get worse if you don't vote for Trump). Communism does not allow individual rights, or citizen owned capitalism like we used to have (before your professor was born). China made a decision to give "semi private" (which is bad) business a try in 1978, but they had no intention of allowing the citizenry to gain wealth (we are going in that direction also), and they don't recognize individual rights what so ever. When you understand capitalism is suppose to belong to the citizenry, and you have to have individual rights protected by law to enjoy it,---you can clearly see that communism (the opposite of individual rights and citizen owned capitalism) is not compatible with our capitalism, and that is why the USA is in a 3 decade economic decline. Doing business with china is simply international redistribution---set up by our governments,---so don't get mad at the kids,--they had nothing to do with it. Now if you note---even the dictator of china is going to crack down on the kids. Dictators don't want a citizenry to gain wealth. So when you say "I hate these snot nosed kids, they did not earn it!",--the dictator says "yea baby--I got these guys on my side----Poverty for everybody!!!"

  1297. Just catching this segment: @ min 40, I have to disagree about trade deals and tariffs. I believe the fact is, communism and capitalism are not compatible, because communism does not recognize individual liberty. We were forced by government(s) to do business with china, for example, who decided to give "semi private business" a try in 1978. As soon as production started moving to communist nations in the 80's--we started losing our butts. I lived through the entire era in the manufacturing sector, and never made enough money (with 3 degrees also) to be comfortable, until I started a little business and it took off. I have never been able to sell my work in china, so if we tariff them--what products of ours will they not buy, since they don't buy any now? Trump is not talking about tariffs for nations of Europe, but for only communist nations who's government's has taken control of all production. The USA, before 1978 did recognize that we should not do business with communist nations, because we understood that communism and capitalism are not compatible. If we don't tariff their products, an give the money to our manufacturing sector, than we should not be doing business with china until the recognize individual rights. Income is way down in the USA now, and we have about 100 million out of work. (those are the actual results of our policy today) Only if trade nations all recognize individual rights, will there be no tariffs, and nobody looses their butt. Most of our production (in Europe and the USA) would not have happened, the industrial revolution would not have happened, if it were not for us living under a philosophy that respected individual liberty. Capitalism and communism are not compatible, and doing business with communist nations only destroys our capitalism.

  1417. What ever. But in reality, at the beginning of the vid the buddy of Joe says he does not see the popular excitement. May be that is because UFC fans would rather see a Conor/Diaz 3 fight? Khabib, drop the cult man, and become a USA citizen, and a Hero of American "Individualism" that so slightly exists here, where you don't have to get government to appreciate you,---because they don't matter. Why? Because you, a great talent, can make money in the free market,---and realize your unlimited potential, and not just some "union scale" developed by others with no such talent. Real Americans admire achievement, no matter where it comes from. And even though the isalmic religion threatens western culture, and me, I still respect the achievement you have accomplished,---by your "self", (your hard and smart work to be "perfect", came from your mind) That is how we built this place, (the USA, like no other built) under that principle of individual achievement, and it lasted just a bit over 100 years, (we all should have been there). Joe does not understand that. Too much of the world does not understand that, so make it man while the sun is up. Khabib, drop the cult man, and become a citizen here, chasing any dream you can think of in what is left of our free market. It is passionate guys like you, when free to use your own mind, who make mankind great! We proved that in the early USA, (individual following their own dreams with a free market), but it seems not enough people realize that. What is the option to individual liberty with our free market, where we all can compete in any industry, and make new ones? Some kind of primitive tribal warfare, (group fight), as the world existed before the principles and philosophies I have mentioned. Your actual "Liberty" can only be taken from us by other men. Don't let that happen. Man is meant to be free, because man can "reason", and must be free from other men to do it well. All of us,--Drop the cult we may be in. The individual has proven to do beter, and we all; have our own shot when free to do so. Did I get a bit philosophical there? Good! We have to live under some kind of philosophy,---and we still have a choice. Think about what creates the future. Wheeeeew. There, I said it. :)

  2064.  @larryc7209  Ahh--you were introduced to communist Thomas Hobbs in college I see. He did not say anything out individual liberty "protected by law". That means, if you commit a "crime" against anybody else's individual liberty, it was against the law, and a "good" court system would punish you for it. With a proper court system, (which the progressive movement came here to change, and did), individual liberty is protected from criminals, and an overreaching government. Now here is a note you may find interesting: Do you know that all the grievances taught in our schools today, how blacks, women, etc, etc, etc, (even my Polish father was taught he was discriminated against, and changed his last name after college. Then he briefly joined the communist party, which I did not find out until after he had passed. He was duped),------------------every one of those grievances are actually---an infringement of their individual liberty that should be protected by law. It was actually the philosophies of individual liberty that freed the black slaves in 1863. Many black knew of individual liberty, (netter than any college professor today, progress ya see), and when they were freed, many named their own family after the men who freed them, "Washington, Jefferson, Franklin". You ever meet a Black person by the name of "Lincoln"?. It was individual liberty protected by law, and the free enterprise system that free people created, that created the most civility and prosperity, creating them advancements that got mankind out for the dirt---in the early USA. I say we go Laissez-Faire,---with a good court system to keep people from screwing each other. As a small business guy myself,---I could not think of a more exciting way for man to live. Every economist will say Laissez-faire is insane, (but those are the same economists who think free enterprise, created by people with individual liberty protected by law, is compatible with communism, that likes Hobbs, does not recognize individual liberty. That is why we have been losing our asses.). The citizenry will agree too, just like you did. But I found when I say this, "The closer we get to Laissez-faire, (individual liberty and us creating and owning the free enterprise system that only free people can build), the more prosperity and civility we will earn, (of course it helps to have a education system that teaches math, right? That is on purpose too.---No production for you.). Why is that? Because we become friends by trading money, value for value,---instead of trading with blood in a group fight. Does that make any sense to you? Because i actually lived some of it with my little business, made friends from all over the world. Doug in Michigan

  2224. My Dad was taught in a Detroit college that he was discriminated against in the free market, so he changed his last name. It was so unfair to him, I understand he joined the communist party for a brief time, (I found out after he passed away), before he started a family,--and later bought a business to kick off my free market spirit, a small country highway side store/gas station. He was 100% Polish, and I am not totally sure I could spell our real last name, and I went to a white school. :) But here is my argument to your post. It is my turn. Have you ever heard of the USA called "The land of opportunity", (Why my Polish Grandfather/Grandmother moved here)? Have you ever heard it was "exceptional"? If you take it to the core of philosophy, (how we should live), the world was run by kings, dictators, tribes and religious groups. Then, out of Europe came the "Age of Reason", which spurred tools to gain understanding of reality around us, the advent of math and science. This was created by thinking individuals, with the age spinning off a new philosophy, individual liberty. Individual liberty, with free people creating free enterprise with their minds, is how the USA was formed. It recognized that the color of the skin (or the genitals), dictates the thoughts of the individual, (propaganda does that son). It was those founding philosophies that freed the Black slaves in 1863, (the other philosophies never liberated anybody.). The Blacks of that day, (and to this day, with out your education), understood the philosophies of individual liberty as a human right to the freedom of their mind more than any college professor today, and named their own families after the men who implemented those philosophies into the USA, "Washington, Jefferson, Franklin". Not Lincoln, (with out poor education). We need to choose how we want to live before we no longer have a choice. The history, understood or not, is past, and we are living now, setting the pace for the next generations. Do we want to live with government up our azzes, (the goal is global communism)--or do we want to be free from them? Now the policy makers in the USA have not followed our founding philosophies very well, and many individuals have not realized it very well either. But the fact is, every grievance you learned, and that is taught in our schools (by communism IMO), are all infringements against a persons individual liberty, which is suppose to be protected by law,--every one of them. Your choice is individual liberty protected by law, with those free people creating free enterprise, (Trading money instead of blood, describing a civil and prosperous society.), or where we are actually headed, which is a mix of a one world government, with large monopoly industries under their control for them---and socialism/communism for us. Personally, I know we can do better than the poverty they promise us,---and we proved it already. How do you want to live? Forgive me for any writing errors. I am not going to read it again. I have to get to work. I built a little business with my mind. I wish you felt the freedom of your business taking off, after decades of manufacturing experience and several college degrees still just above poverty. It was an amazing feeling to beat that, until April 15th (tax day). I figured it out. :) I figure out how we built this place from the wilderness in record time. We had the freedom to do it, and it could have happened anywhere.

  2321. This post and replies comes from here, @, which is a Vickter Davis Hanson vid who is one of the only people in academia who supports President Trump, but not everything about him. It is a hour liong vid you need to listen to, to help make a rational decision. You can see what many otehr people from all of western culture wishes,---so watch it, and comment again after please. From Denmark here: can we get your Trump after 2024? We need him! 253 likes 2 weeks ago We can share. He can be president of Denmark and USA. The EU would be triggered since it could greatly interfere with their plan to turn Scandinavia into Africa. Denmark is so small we could squeeze that lil country in between our states lol. Very rich history in Daneland, you could probably use a 👑 Ragnar right now to take the reigns. 2 weeks ago Rune S At least you could try to imitate him as we are in Poland. I hope you can keep your great country. Best wishes from Poland. 2 weeks ago Rune S I asked a year ago- Scotland is ahead of you in the queue lol plus his mother is Scottish- we need the Prodigal Son to return and sort this idiot Sturgeon out. 2 weeks ago (edited) Rune S nooo, Portugal needs him more 🤓 2 weeks ago Canada needs him as well 1 week ago Please explain why, your point of view--interest to know. 1 week ago Australia here. We need him more! 1 week ago (edited) From Germany here: Can we get your Trump after 2020? We need him more. 1 week ago No,no, he's coming here, we need him more than you!!😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 4

  2355. I see problems with false information all the time. If we "lighten up", well, I am old and more wise today and I have seen the devolution of our thinking over the last 4 decades, (started before I realized it too), . We don't even know any math anymore to figure stuff out. The amount we "lighten up" is the amount of our decline. It is your future, not mine. Bottom line son. I hate the communism that has pretty much taken over the USA, with the destruction of our individual liberty and the theft of our free enterprise that free people in the USA created in the first place. I have been studying for 16 years, our decline, from the perspective out human freedom. Not many people have done that, (I don't know anybody), and I do understand our decline, the decline of mankind, just about as well as the communism sabotaging us. Son, I have hated communism for 52 years now, since I was 8 years old. This not a bad vid for overall understanding, (leaves out "loop scavenging" for some reason, showing one transfer port pointing at the exhaust port, and would be very dirty. And the smoke of a 2 stroke that could be pretty much eliminated with good jetting), so there is a bit of propaganda in there. "Lighten up", and we will be run over. I am sick of the bullying. I say it is "our turn". :) Doug in Michigan PS: I port and stroke these little engines for a living, started with Go-Ped scooters 20 years ago, but the RC cars using the same engine a bit later made my business,--the most popular in the world today in the RC/Scooter industry (the ones using the Zenoah engine anyway). I have come to learn that we get taken advantage of, if we "lighten up", during a national transformation of our society. 52 years, I have hated communism. I am figuring it out well. I was motivated by it.

  2408. Oh my, did you learn that tactic in economic school? If you want to prosper, blow up your own factory? Look what the marxist education (that hates our, yours and mine, free enterprise), taught you. Here are 2 important facts. 1) It was free people who created free enterprise, and our own production that got mankind out of poverty. 2) it is progressive/communistic education that is allowing our elected communists to ship our free enterprise to communist china for production (with no EPA rules, quite an advantage for communism), and nationalize the industries free people built. What is really happening is, free people with individual liberty protected by law created free enterprise (mostly in the USA, because we were more free to do so, and created the brain drain of Europe for example.). But communism does not respect individual liberty at all, adding that McCarthy was right, our elected shipped your free enterprise to china (and the rest of the world,---a grand global redistribution of what we built as free people.), and taught you to hate your own opportunity. Where the problem really started though, I will give you some credit. It did start with government coaxing businessmen to work together. That was the start of the destruction of your opportunity. If we understood that free enterprise came from free people and not a government, we could understand how communism is stealing it from us. I have seen the decline for 40 plus years. The results are in. Free enterprise and communism are not compatible. As soon as free enterprise is finished/destroyed,---primitive poverty will then again be the norm if we are left alive,---weather you work for the state or not. Wheeew. I put a lot of work into this. Is that understandable to you?

  2603. After working in over 20 different non-union machine shops while earning 3 college degrees, (2 of them engineering in production, the thing that got us out of the dirt.), and still be just above poverty in the 2nd largest city in Michigan, I would say "job security and benefits I never had.". There was a time of several when I was "down and out" between jobs as I searched for a engineering position with no luck. It was a slightly rainy day outside a 7-11 near our local station, and I asked 2 officers what it took to become a Police Officer. I was looking for security. I told them I had some education and I earned 2 bachelors degrees, and they basically told me they were over the top qualifications, should be easy. Well, I started a business instead and it took off. So I discovered freedom, (true human freedom, to think and a achieve), and would never consider any state job again or a union job. I sent a union shop a resume once, "Fischer body in the city", that would get me an interview anywhere in the nation of non-union shops if they wanted to hire a person, and I could never get even a reply from that union shop because I did not know anybody there. I discovered true human freedom that I did not know existed until my business took off. I feel sorry for them now. I could never follow "duty" when I know I am being told to do something morally wrong. I would do what I always did, and find another job. They can't do that either very easily. Every time they try to sell doughnuts or coffee, they go out of business. Here is what happened: My generation and older were taught that we were free in this nation and we can grow up to be what ever we want. That meant we have a brain in our head and a free enterprise system to use it in, and we just put a man on the moon when I was 5. Today, they are taught that they are free in this nation to become what ever government approves. Big difference. It is the difference between individual liberty with free enterprise, and communism. "It is not even a matter of opinion. It is a matter of life and death." (Ayn Rand on a old TV show)

  2629. Mr Nick Adams: (6000 posts, and he will see this one?): You are on the right track with the reality of results. But you did not mention the philosophies and principles that created the USA in the first place, to be able to do all those great things you mention. Before the USA the world was run by some kind of state, (tyrants overwhelmingly), or some kind of religion, (or a combination), ruling over other rational men, who came from the other side of the tracks, (generalization),---called " Subjects", (Not citizens), as if some kind of social experiment. Then a Philosopher named Aristotle, who first realized that individual humans can reason for themselves,---and natural law was born, (law based on the human nature to '"reason", developed by those wound could reason a law for all and not hinder human nature for any). It took a while, but other philosophers found the same, (varying a bit), to start to for a more free areas in Europe, then especially the USA, when reason rejected the rule of a monarchy. What made the USA the most prosperous and civil nation the Earth has ever seen is, it was "exceptionally" founded on the philosophies of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY protected by law, and the free market belonging to the citizens, (It is called communism when government takes over industries that we built,--health care for the blatant example). The best in Europe had come here because they had more freedom to do their work also. It was called "The Brain Drain" of Europe. Individual liberty and the free market owned by the citizens, (with a streamlined court system that protects individual liberty). That is what creates a civil and prosperous society. We are friends when we trade with money. We are enemies when we trade with blood.

  2867. What about the first 120 years of the American economy? Built from the wilderness, it was as close to Lassiez Faire as any economic system ever was, where prosperity grew like never before, and poverty reduced like never before. We grew so fast we were able to win WW1 with only about 4 generations of our existence. I am a small business owner in an industry with very little regulation, (none directly actually), where we compete with no government intervention, and I can not express enough how exciting it is to be a part of that, to compete with that. I am sure I can safely assume that every economist, and most individuals in today's world would say "Lassiez-Faire is crazy", (they assume it is lawless, but any crime against an individual's liberty is suppose to be a crime, weather from an individual, a group, a competitor, or the government). But if you rephrase it for most individuals, they will agree: "The closer we can get to Lassiez-Faire economics, (where individual liberty is protected by law), the more civility and prosperity we will be able to earn.". As soon as the government gets involved in our free market, you have socialism, favoritism, and a growing burden against your ability to compete. I did not have to read about it from a book. I actually experience some of the last free market on the planet and trade all over the world, (still semi free actually, but as close to Lassiez-Fair as exists today), and like I said, I can not express enough how exciting it is to use your mind to prosper in OUR free market. Individualism and our free market is life itself, as it is human to think and achieve. I am not interested in comparing "mixed economies" of different levels. To me, it is all the same, stealing our free market and our liberty from us, and none of it condemns using the gun to do so. I just think our society would be marvelous, if we lived by a simple principle that stealing is wrong. Was I told to go for my dreams, so my efforts could be stolen from me by means of taxes for the purposes of redistribution and government criminal funding? That is the immoral reality we are forced to live with. The categories of economies are very simple really. You only have 2 choices. You are either free to compete in any industry you want for profit, (and create new industries) which also creates opportunity for others, or you are hindered by government intervention and not allowed to compete, like the Tucker automobile in 1946. It should be easy to see which is moral, but nobody in, or recently out of college has had any experience with individualism and their right to compete in business. I hope they do not vote their own potential away, but how could they not if they don't know what kind of economic system will let them reach their personal potential? I want my liberty back, and I want my free market back.

  2928. Let me add this up: Both parties giving our free market production to communist china since 1978, and starting with republican Nixon. Our public education simultaneously has dropped the excellence of Science, Math, and Reading to lower than 30th in the world, (the more advanced a free society is, the more the citizenry has to be able to "think". So "Forward" is "Backward", and the values that created the USA exceptionally, are ignored.). An exceptional man born in the USA as a free market man, (as should be), and one of the only left who became a billionaire,--with no lobbyists, (big point there), wins an election, and everything he does to put the USA first again is blocked, chastised, belittled, along with all the people who support this great President, over 100 million good Americans, (now deemed by this evil as potential "domestic terrorists", and I knew that was going to happen with that phrase in existence.). The election is proven to be rigged, but no Judge would look at the evidence/proof, (Progressive perversion in our study of law started in the early 1900's, and is dominant now. Looks like Justice Scalia did not "fit in", not even an investigation or autopsy after a very suspicious death and immediate subsequent happenings.), and all Judges FORCED us to live in a nation of rigged elections, (which is never good). Add the massive censorship from all the big tech companies, (who do have lobbyists), and I think it is safe to say,--- 'Welcome to communism my fellow Americans!!!" Oh, just to let you know CNBC, just like the health insurance companies that backed obamacare, not understanding a state run medical system does not need insurance companies, a communist world does not need nearly this may news stations either. That is when your confusion will peak but can do nothing about it. Check your premise now. Good luck.

  3011. To Mr. Buddy Brown: Mr. Brown man! Lyrics, and why I wrote them: (to help us understand how we save our freedoms). I graduated rural Michigan HS in 81, just as the outsourcing of our production to communism, (china), started happening, and I got into manufacturing. Even at that naive age, I knew "Production or Poverty" was our real choice, (And still is, always will be.). Since then, (after decades of experience at many different shops, earning a total of self paid 3 college degrees in manufacturing, making little money until I started my own business,) I have learned why our free market is not compatible with communism. It is because they are based on two different philosophies. The free market was created by free people, who were living under the philosophies of "Individual Liberty", (that gave them the freedom to start their own business or industry, and own earned property), and communism does not recognize individual liberty, a free enterprise system or property rights at all. Which philosophies do you think are winning today? I wrote these song lyrics back under the dictatorship of obama, but I can't play anything, (and I blame a 8th grade band instructor, or I could have been one heck of a good Trumpet Musician). If you like them Mr. Brown, (and a good voice you have), you can have them. But I do expect a small percentage of royalties if you make money with it, because that is good business. If we only do business with good people, we will only have good business. Doug Johns, Freesoil Michigan. If you make these lyrics famous,----------------you will have done a immeasurable amount, (and a lot), to help Americans understand the opportunity and liberty they are giving up. To hell with "their issues". All they do is divide us more. "It's Our Turn". Take those lyrics, and put them in everybody's mind. I understand what needs to be heard to save the philosophies that created our liberty in the first place. I can write more. Title-----------”WE THE PEOPLE”- BUILT THIS PLACE!” “Once a great nation, turning into dust. No oil, no movement, it is us who look like rust. We used to build things, we used to achieve. But we can’t keep it now, because of Intellectual thieves. We made product here, and shipped it with care. Spider webbed our economy and taught our Children “Go get it--it is right there!” Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here. We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear. We can do it again, if we just understand. That Capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.” “Capitalism belongs to you and me. Not government(s) to take over and ship over seas. I can build a car, much like the once great Henry Ford, But not allowed now, because of regulation boards. Why is it, in the Land of Opportunity, We have auto companies--that may only total 3, oops 2? Allowed to achieve, we will show the noble way, To tomorrows renaissance, and keep poverty at bay.” “Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here. We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear. We can do it again, if we just understand. That Capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.” “We know business belongs to you and me. It is our opportunity, it is our prosperity. “Good will” as we trade, and watch every one win. Any other way, can be considered a sin. (repeat line) These Industries we built, with our brain and our hands. So beware of the master minds, who claim to have better plans. Always remember, and never forget-- WE THE PEOPLE BUILT THIS PLACE, AND WE AIN’T DONE YET!!! Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here. We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear. We can do it again, if we just understand. That capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.” “Spoken word” at the end.---“Hmmm--I thought it was called communism, when the government ran the economy. Isn’t that right?”

  3203. You should have known better. Nobody stays in the Washington system unless they are corrupt, and the study of law was the first target of the early 1900's progressive/communistic movement in the USA. Here is what I posted as what I have figured out in reality. How did President Trump get tricked into picking this man, (instead of Allen West, who does have an American ideological backbone)? He was tricked by the use of God. It is a very old trick, and unfortunately, still very effective. It is a huge mistake to believe God gave us our rights. He gave us the ability to "reason", and figure out what our rights are, and we formed the USA and it's constitution. God was proud of us, but we did it as we found and founded, proper humanity. Political Pence would not be on that podium speaking, if President Trump knew how to pick people based on ideology to work with him in politics. That is one area where obama was much much stronger. obama picked the most radical left ideology people for each position, and Trump picked obama's second picks. President Trump was not ideological enough to individual liberty and free people creating the free enterprise system, (Our founding philosophies and the opposite of communist ideology.), and he picked USA Liberty enemies of the swamp. Even though all of his good work was reversed with biden, (same happened after regan, who was also confused as we gave our free enterprise system to china during his terms.), it was amazing how much President Trump got done that was in the right direction, with all those appointed knives at his back.

  3869.  @carkawalakhatulistiwa  After WW2, a couple things happened that you are not aware of. The was a man trying to make a automobile, (and a very good one for the time), named Tucker. He was destroyed by people in congress who were in bed with the auto industry, (called economic fascism), and in the meantime that congress gave Japan 800 billion dollars to rebuild after the war. Honda was allowed to create a manufacturing dynasty, and I say he and Tucker would have been great competitors. How do we measure the losses of all that production and opportunity Tucker would have given us? And at the same time, our congress ended the china civil war that had been going off and on for decades. The fight was between the communists and the nationalists, (who were a freedom loving people), and our congress armed the communists to turn china into a communist nation. We have been losing our liberty and our right to do business. Business was created by people who had individual liberty protected by law, and communism does not recognize individual liberty at all. So our free enterprise is not compatible with communism, (and those results are in), and the protection of free enterprise is anything but socialism/communism. if china would drop communism and allow their citizenry their right to individual liberty,---they we would do business with each other (with out government intervention), and guess what we would become? Prosperous and friends. That can never happen if you let communism define freedom and free enterprise, and we are ending up with neither under a dictatorship that has been brewing since the early 1900's, called "the progressive movement".

  3982. I am glad you are not a marxist, (My black American neighbor), as is taught in many black churches, (as in our public schools today also), in cities across the USA, (I saw them in Grand Rapids Michigan). But being a "conservative", (again, one of those political words with no objective definition), is just one step away from communistic rule. The biggest mistake, (if not on purpose), conservatives did was several decades ago, when they claimed, (and still do), that God gave us our rights. That message does not unite people anymore than the crusades, so it divides us. If you do not believe in God, or believe in a different God than the Christian God,---you will never become a conservative. No sir, (My young, thinking, American neighbor), God did not give man his rights. God gave us a brain that can think, and figure out reality, (unlike anything else living on Earth), and we figured out our "natural rights", (to be free to think and achieve), from there,---and we eventually formed the USA. That is what the Founders started,---individual liberty protected by law, (which is color and sex blind), and free people creating the now extinct free enterprise system. I can put a much better morality together with individual liberty and free people creating/owning the free enterprise system, than a pope who joined communism to tell us to do what the state tells us to do. I figured out what will definitely kill communism, maybe with out a shot fired. If the church would go though one more reformation, claiming that man living under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, (giving up the altruism that bonds with communism), is the supreme way for man to live on this planet, (or any other), such as the USA was actually formed,---The communism would fall of it own weight around the world,---because it would no longer have a church as a crutch of morality to use to hold it up. communism has no morality. Just like everything else we built, communism had to steal, (and convert), morality from somewhere. Thanks man. Doug in Michigan.

  4214. Young man, (and all others). I have bee studying the fall of the USA for over 15 years now, (studied engineering for 8 years before that, and did very very well, so I can figure things out.). I know you are shocked, depressed, confused, as we all are when we start discovering what a communist dictatorship looks like in the USA today. My confusion bought me an FBI investigation for the last 15 years, (one trying to get me to do an illegal activity with guns, Trying to get me to make parts to make an AR-15 fully auto.), due to the "Patriot act" being put in place,---by communism. You might not admit it or define it, but we now live under a dictatorship today son. Only the understanding of the philosophies of our founding (which is not taught sir), that are "individual liberty protected by law, with citizens creating and growing free enterprise", (The opposite of government rule over our lives, which is color and sex blind if followed properly---which we did not.), can stop/reverse this global communistic rule in the USA and around the world. Your philosophy course did not teach you the difference between liberty and communism. It taught you about a bunch of lunatics who probably would have been institutionalized in a "rational" society, (Sans Aristotle, who was not taught correctly. You had no idea why you got a good grade, just glade the messy class was over, never to think about it again. We have to live under some kind of philosophy,--and I hope we still have that choice. Under full blown communism, (and your firing is close), we will not have that choice anymore. Doug in Michigan Lover of the liberated mind.

  4277. Ohhh, I love correcting YT vids about things I know a lot about. Let's see what cha got! Ohhh, I have a list. But I must say, you did a pretty good job overall, and I even learned something, that will be in the list. 1) I am not sure, and this is picking hairs, but I bet the 4-stroke intake valve says open a bit longer than BDC to take advantage of a bit more cylinder filling with the intake velocity. 2) Only the red environmentalist have an issue with some of the charge of a 2-stroke going out of the exhaust, and they have their own irrational motives for pushing it as a problem. I can not take their arguments as a issue in reality. They want us poor. They are communists, anti free market communists, but they love to steel our free enterprise to fund themselves. They don't deserve any recognition. 3) There are actually 5 phases, mostly overlapping, in the cycle of a 2-stroke: compression, combustion, blow down, scavenging/transfer and intake,---I think. :) 4) I think Motocross is throwing out the "2-stroke makes twice the power of a 4-stroke per displacement. The modern 450cc MX 4-stroke is making about 65hp and the old monster CR500 2-stroke made about 60hp. Now that is for MX, and the engine power delivery has to be controllable. The EPA got lucky, (forced the expensive 4-stroke on the MX industry, called a dictatorship), because the pulse of a 4-stroke does hook up better to the ground, as proven now. But even for a high rpm application like drag racing, I have a hard time believing a 450cc 2-stroke can make 130hp naturally aspirated, (of course for a 2-stroke) on gas. 5) Reed valves do still flow a bit after BDC do to intake velocity, which is why I assume the intake valve of a 4-stroke may stay open a tinge longer. 6) I have seen HP 2-stroke engines run a gas/oil mix as rich as 10:1. RC boat racers with 30cc 20,000rpm engines run that thick quite often. If the jetting is good, the combustion is hot enough and the oil burns. I think it is overkill, but they run it. A company named Quick Draw, making their own engines for TC boat racing insists on a mix that thick. But I think it is because the steel honed cylinder liner eats up the ring quick until the hone smooths out a bit. Other guys are running 10:1 with plated cylinders. Some even run Colman fuel mixed with oil still, which I really don't get at all, but they run, and lubricity is fantastic from a tear down I did for a customer. 7) Oil injection is no more modern than me mixing for a new MX bike,---and sorry, but nothing can be more reliable. Race bikes in MX still do not use oil injections, sans KTM now with transfer port fuel injection with a new oil system---that can break down. I replace a piston/ring once a year, about $150.00, for about 5 years for the plating to wear through. 5 years on a MX 4-stroke will cost a lot more. 8) 17:34 Man, that is some fast oil consumption. Still,---it ran the whole time huh. Must be jetted well. :) 9) You bring up emissions again,---and I will rationally ignore it. I will not agree with communism, ever. We need to tell them to get bent. 10) 21:37 graphic. That compression ratio/drawing is actually wrong. The 125cc is the swept volume of the piston only, not the head volume, (which you have at 12.5cc). So the proper math is (125 + 12.5)/12.5 = 11:1 I have seen professional engine tuners get that wrong, but I scratched it off as old age. 11) 2-stroke compression is also effected by the exhaust pipe effects. The returning sound wave actually bounces off the diversion cone (a point just past half it's length.), and not the earlier infuser cone, (that one is for a vacuum, to actually suck a negative pressure into the cylinder to aid scavenging, measure up to -7psi in some old writes. This happens as soon as the blow down phase actually ended, and kept sucking for a bit. The cylinder must blow down the pressure after the ex port opens to zero before the transfers open, or the pressure will force a burning charge down the transfers, (you will see black deposit on the transfer walls, and could indicate a pipe problem,--but my 88 CR250 still ran great.). 12) I am a 2-stroke guy, (for a living), and I learned about variable valve timing for some 4-stroke engines. Interesting, but I bet the cost can be blamed on the EPA force, (which communism in china does not have to deal with. The planet stops there i guess.). 13 That is the first Yamaha ex power valve design, the rotary design, (and it was a smooth transition). The guillotine style is a more modern design, and has linear movement. 14) The ex power valve is not related to the return sound wave as you suggested. The sound wave is pretty much a fixed speed, (goes a bit faster in a hot pipe), and that means it is related to piston speed. The reverse wave is also only pretty effective, (super charging effect) for a range of a few thousand rpm's, (or the fresh fuel would not leak out the exhaust.) The valve does not seal very well, if at all for added compression or down stroke sealing for power, but I would bet there is some overlapping factor there. The higher port lets exhaust gasses out faster for the higher rpm piston speed, (as with higher piston speeds, the ports are open for less time), and some people don't agree, but I think compression should be adjusted accordingly with a mod like raising the ex port, within limits of the application. To ne quite frank, I am not totally sure about the effects of a lower or higher ex port, but a lower port is used for lower rpm applications for more low end and mid range power, and a higher port leads to more top end power. But the pipe effects of the returning sound wave,---can not cover both. 15) I don't know if direct fuel injection will become the EPA forced norm. I know it has been done, but for example, KTM choose to inject it in the transfer port walls. I know it does not have pressure or heat to deal with there, and I am sure those were factors in their decision. That looks like a lot of stuff that I corrected for you and your viewers, but you covered a lot of stuff, and I think you do a pretty good vid. You are good at teaching, but we must know the details or we might as well figure it out for ourselves. The next one should be better. :) Doug in Michigan

  4306.  @JohnSmith-pg9ns  Ya know John, when I was 18 years old, I thought my Dad was the dumbest person on the planet. But when I turned 24, man, I was surprised at how much the old man learned in 6 years! If you have your face in your phone more than not, you have no leg to stand on when it comes to living in reality. You are just a kid. You don't know anything yet. You were not born with my life experiences, (which were the last of the best USA.My generation was the last generation to be taught that we can go for our own individual dreams in the USA). You do not understand that you and I would have died under communism if Trump did not win. I don't know what is going to happen after Trumps terms are done, but I expect you have at least another decade of freedom left. Hopefully more, if President Hero Trump can inspire other liberty minded people to run for office,---and it would be only the 2nd time you had a choice. Don't mess up next time. Now John, let me ask you. Are you the kind of person who wants to use your own mind, learn how to do something marketable, and start your own exciting business, (or even invent an industry),--Or, are you the kind of person who has no self confidence, (and think you can't earn it), and because you may be leaving home or school soon,---you are looking for government to take care of you, (at others expense)? Enjoy your communism son. Unless people run and win office after Trump who understand the difference between liberty and tyranny, (you have not experienced liberty---because you probably don't do anything), you will grow old under communism. You see issues, I see ideology, philosophy, and the direction they take us. A paraphrase line from a great movie, The court scene of "The Fountainhead"; "I am an engineer. I know what is to come based on the principles of which it is built!" You don't understand the principles that created our liberty and prosperity in the first place. You were taught that "All values are the same", and good ones are replaced with junk. They got you man. They got you.

  4488. Isn't it strange, all these issues that ignore the individual liberty of man. What is the actual source of this undefined "change" as we move "forward", (to what? again unexplained). It is like we are just following the wrong philosophies, ya know? I think we have to know that to "change" direction to avoid going "forward" off a cliff of communism, we have to understand our philosophical choices. "Individual liberty protected by law", or "communism" (in a nut shell), are the philosophical choices we have had since before the USA was founded. All the issues (symptoms) aside, that is our choice. Once fully under communism, we will no longer have that choice. It is really tat simple, because philosophy is the foundation of how man lives. They did not teach me that in my college Philosophy course. Instead, the vague/quirky instructor kept asking the question, "Does a table hove a soul?" all semester long. The foundation of how man lives, is the philosophies we think of and administer. We had it pretty much 100% right, when the USA was formed. It was the opposite of communism, the opposite of the progressive movement that come here to "Change the American Mind.", that had done so to us. If we want to save our liberty----that has to be expressed often. It is a choice of philosophy, individual liberty protected by law, or communism. As long as we can "reason", (figure out reality), I know who will win that argument. "You" as an individual, with a right to your own mind and life, because you know it. This is what I figured out. Thank you. Doug in Michigan

  4498. Your scope of blame is "party narrow". Yes, the republic party is just as much to blame, but the decay of the USA actually goes into philosophy (the study of how we should live, and it is not taught well for a reason). The fact to the core of our existence is, we are following the wrong and primitive philosophies. It was the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, and we the free citizenry creating free enterprise. But as soon as we got the electrical grid up and really started making money and real progress, a moment called "the progressive movement" was let into our universities, (by our federal government I can easily assume) to change our minds of how we should live. Other factors were at play also, but the progressive movement, starting in the very early 1900's, was the key pivot point that talked us out of our liberty, and into the communism that has taken over or destroyed everything free people have built. It was a change in philosophy,---that destroyed the USA. My college philosophy course was just like anybody else's in the nation. We did not learn the difference between individual liberty and communism, and my instructor asked the question all semester long, "does a table have a soul?". What we were taught, was about a bunch of lunatics called philosophers,(sans Aristotle, the original founding father of the USA, who was not taught correctly.), who would have been institutionalized in a rational society. The class made no sense. We had no idea why we got a good grade, were just glad the class was over, never to "think" about it again. What a dirty trick on mankind. So you can bale the Dem party only, but the problem actually goes all the way to philosophy (how we should live). We will never get liberty back for mankind,---if we do not understand that. What a dirty trick indeed. Doug in Michigan.

  4585. You never heard this before. What do you think of this write? The guy may be right. God gave us a brain, unlike anything else living on Earth, that can figure out reality, and we each have that power as an individual if we practice it. God was so proud of mankind when we formed the USA, with individual liberty protected by law and free people creating the free enterprise system, that created prosperity and civility, (when we do business with each other, no matter what color of the skin or sex, we become friends. That does not happen with theft or sacrifice.). Everything living on Earth has a nature, and so does man. Ask, what is man's nature? Man's nature is to think and achieve, with eh ability to figure out reality in our universe. God believes in individual liberty, not communism. How the Church can beat communism, read on How the Church can easily beat communism: If the Church would go through one more reformation, claiming that the supreme way for man to live is with individual liberty protected by law, and a the citizenry creating a peaceful, productive method of trading money instead of blood, (free enterprise), then communism around the world would fall because it can no longer use the Church for a false "morality" of servitude. Communism would crumble,---while the PEW's will overflow with new bodies and brains, including mine. God already flooded the world once, and he said he will not do it again. God will let us fall to communism, and he knows we know better, because we formed the USA. God is watching his "thinking" children die---like a parent watching his/her son die in rehab, or a covid ward. One other thing we need to realize. Once communism takes control, to murder millions of people is nothing more than a political decision. Do we have that now? Reject altruism, (we can build now), Reject communism, and embrace the individual liberty of man and their free enterprise, and mankind will a achieve a civil greatness again, and God will once again be proud of his kids again. It is our nature. Would love to see some people comment on that. What do you "think"? I hope it does not take too long for understanding. God will cry for eternity if we fall to communism. I am thinking human---and I love it!!!!! Doug in Michigan

  4632. That dome for a span of time, hosted more Supercross races than any stadium in the country. I raced there once myself, (poorly), as a amateur in 1988. But this is my favorite personal story of the place. My girlfriend and I went to see a SX race, and we followed my buddy there (who likes to get to the pro races very early). Yea, I can hear the announcement "no smoking in the dome" while walking across the pavement to get in, but we go there so early, hardly anybody was in the stands at that point. We walked to the railing near the track, and nobody else was around us for at least 200 feet, so I lit up a smoke, knowing the smoke would not bother anybody. Then she stood up from her group and started yelling at me, from about 200 feet away, this dark long hared gal wearing a Kawasaki jacket. No way could she smell it, but she yelled "No smoking in here, you can't smoke in here!!!!". So I put it out. It actually ruined my mood for almost the rest of the evening. As the place filled up and the racing started, she had no problem with the exhaust from the 2-stroke bikes. Then during an intermission, my GF and I went out one of the gates to have a smoke, out in the cold standing with about 300 plus other smokers, and my GF spotted that gal out there with us, "There she is", and there she was, standing in the middle of 300 smokers, trying to get a signal on her cell phone, about 75 feet from us. So I yelled to her, "Hey lady, (she saw me), This is the smoking area, you get your F-ing azz back in there!" Nobody in the smoking area had any idea of why I said that,---but they all started laughing. I felt so much better for the rest of the evening right after that. Little miss busy body walked all the way across the tarmac to a guard at the fence, said something to him while pointing at me, and I saw him just shrug his shoulders with his hands up a bit (what do you want me to do?). She then walked to another guard at the next fence opening, (same thing), and finally walked in through another gate. Ahhh---good times at the Silverdome. Too bad it is gone.

  4806. Looks like I am the only one who can offer an answer to your question. Man has lived basically in 2 ways, and one for a lot longer than the other. 1) man survived in groups, and of course groups fight each other for survival (before the industrial revolution). The groups were Churches and rulers. communism is the dominating group in the world today, and it uses the Church for a "moral" crutch, which is possible because they believe we should all live for each other, and not for our selves. 2) Aristotle was the first philosopher to recognize that man can think, (reason), which lead to the age of reason, the USA and the industrial revolution that got mankind out of poverty better than any Church or dictatorship ever could, (because they are taught to sacrifice for each other, (which is the way man survived before we could build things, and trade money instead of blood). The USA was based on individual liberty protected by law, and those free people creating a method of peaceful and prosperous trade, the free enterprise system where any individual can compete. This Pope was selected during the obama administration, (a very anti-free market administration), to agree with communism,-----and I don't see any Churches rejecting this Pope, so we will fall into total communism most likely, and maybe soon. The real sides of the issue is communism vs individual liberty/free enterprise,--and until communism has total control, we still have that choice. The rest of the arguments look like smoke to me.

  5170. I find it amazing, that these "educated people" seem to know all the differences of dictatorships, (as if we get to pick which we want to live under?), but they have no clue the opposite of them all "Individual liberty protected by law, and the citizens creating and owning free enterprise as that is where it started. Tell us---which dictatorship created free enterprise? Oh yea---we need to redefine "class action law suit" and sue our schools,---for not teaching us the difference between individual liberty and government force. I just make it easy and group them into communism , (which is dominant today, even in the USA) vs individual liberty with free enterprise,--that is based on our individual brains to be able to reason and figure out reality, (like developing science and math, and getting ourselves out of poverty with citizens creating the industrial revolution. Ohh. How is your math? I understand the progressive movement. I know what your teachers are. You have been duped and they are good at it. For example: Did your philosophy college course teach you the difference between the philosophies (how man should live), between communism and individual liberty? Or they they show us a bunch of lunatics who probably would have been institutionalized in a rational society, (sans Aristotle, the first to see man can "reason", which is the moral basis for individual liberty, was not taught correctly.). We had no idea why we got a good grade, were just glad the crazy class was over, never to think about it again. Pretty dirty trick. I hope I helped you figure it out. Doug in Michigan

  5350. Here are some (of many) posts from people, real citizen people from all over western culture. This post and replies comes from here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEXL5USuDGI, which is a Vickter Davis Hanson vid who is one of the only people in academia who supports President Trump, but not everything about him. It is a hour liong vid you need to listen to, to help make a rational decision. You can see what many otehr people from all of western culture wishes,---so watch it, and comment again after please. From Denmark here: can we get your Trump after 2024? We need him! 253 likes 2 weeks ago We can share. He can be president of Denmark and USA. The EU would be triggered since it could greatly interfere with their plan to turn Scandinavia into Africa. Denmark is so small we could squeeze that lil country in between our states lol. Very rich history in Daneland, you could probably use a 👑 Ragnar right now to take the reigns. 2 weeks ago Rune S At least you could try to imitate him as we are in Poland. I hope you can keep your great country. Best wishes from Poland. 2 weeks ago Rune S I asked a year ago- Scotland is ahead of you in the queue lol plus his mother is Scottish- we need the Prodigal Son to return and sort this idiot Sturgeon out. 2 weeks ago (edited) Rune S nooo, Portugal needs him more 🤓 2 weeks ago Canada needs him as well 1 week ago Please explain why, your point of view--interest to know. 1 week ago Australia here. We need him more! 1 week ago (edited) From Germany here: Can we get your Trump after 2020? We need him more. 1 week ago No,no, he's coming here, we need him more than you!!😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 4

  5366. What is the factor "mental age" that is part of the IQ equation? Also note, your IQ is not a set figure. you can grow it at any age,---if you you do not have a medical mental handicap, and willing to think enough to figure things out in reality. I did not hit a 130 IQ until I was in my 40's. Just average in grade school, of course, almost failing for HS graduation. That turned around 180 (sharpest guy in college engineering), after several years of studying---reality. In this confusing equation, where factors are suppose to be definite even if unknown in the equation before you figure that factor out, this equation goes ahead and divides it by our chronological age, but the mental age is no known yet. You said you figured it out, but did not explain. Common core math anybody? If a factor has no accurate definition, it will be a factor of variance that will skew the results--------------at anybodies will who teaches it. I also predict that Southern stated, and maybe South Carolina, who try to live under our founding philosophies the most, will be demonized by these progressive teachers who do not know how to do math correctly, for an anti-America agenda. Chances are, the people who desire freedom from government force, have more intellect than the communism that insults them. Example, average intelligence tested for the state of South Carolina, which means they are on par with the rest of the nation. You judge the population by one story, that looks like a lie to me anyway, (phony picture of a undamaged truck over a shattered, unpainted boulder included). How is you math son? Ever take a stats class to understand what "average" is? You will find the same in "progressive, self appointed kings of intellect in NY city", has about the same average, since it is a national test for average. I am willing to bet, NY, (probably the most dysfunctional progressive/communistic state in the Union), will not on your communistic demonization list. (surprising, very progressive and dysfunctional CA., but only in the "back woods parts", is. But it is a fact, that the free market intellect has moved, and replaced by immigrants with almost no education. You had to add one in there to look fair and balanced huh? lol. Yet, the same state average IQ is because the "back woods people", who probably have not been tested, and a small segment of the entire states population, drags down the rest of the states IQ average---to average? Pahleeease!) Notice it also says a average IQ can only get you a factory job. But a lot of people I worked for in manufacturing started their own business to go for their dreams, something communist "worker" is not allowed to do. Our free enterprise was given to communism in china for over 40 years now. The factory got mankind out of poverty, not arts and crafts taught today to replace our wealth making production. It takes brains to make new product for sales, and man's advancement. All I see today is "progressive decline", and that is all there is today, with our heads full of this kind of garbage. Be careful. Understand that these people are really good with psychological mass programming. It is the one thing they are really good at. you will know when you are more intelligent than they are, (a individual can always become more intelligent than the collective if practiced), when you see it.

  5425. 1) That is why we were founded as a democratic republic, with a democratic voting system only. We were not a democracy, (which I think is a myth, a democracy). 2) The USA citizenry got wealthier because of what Joe actually said, (and I was surprised he said it), because we were free to do so. Free people created the free enterprise system, (trading money instead of blood), and it was our founding philosophies of individual liberty, (not a democracy) that freed the black slaves. That is why we have black families by the name of "Washington, Franklin, Jefferson", and not Lincoln. They named their own families after the men who freed them. 3) This is important, and you will dumbfound your teachers with this question. First, you have to understand the real fight is between communism and individual liberty, because you have to understand what they are. Then you have to understand the USA was founded on the philosophies of individual liberty, (Thank you Aristotle, the only philosopher of his time who understood man can "reason" for him self, and he is the founding father of the USA). Now ask the question: "I see the fight between individual liberty and communism. Isn't everything we learned bad about the USA, every grievance from anybody on the left, (the commie side son), actually an infringement of individual liberty? If we can see it was their individual liberty that was infringed upon, should we not go back to living under the philosophies of individual liberty?" You will lose a grade,---but you will make people think.

  5605. Well son,---they are not private industries anymore. Not sure what is. Their government has control, and you are blaming the caretakers who think they own a private business. The argument you use, that you adopted with no life experience in free enterprise, (got me out of poverty son, even with 2 engineering degrees), comes from the philosophies that hate it when people can make money,---communism. Now you should understand, that if they were real free enterprise left, and companies started cutting corners with quality slipping, yon would have the right to compete with them and do GOOD business. That is what I did in a tiny little industry that has not been taken over yet by communism, and 99.9% of the customers I talk with on the phone, (my best customer service world wide), we become friends. I just explained to you how true free enterprise creates civility and prosperity,----but it won't matter. I am old, figured it out, and I predict that you will retire in poverty and under communism,-----because you helped communism destroy the free enterprise that free people created in the first place. I hope your generation redefines "class action law suit" and sue your schools for teaching you from the philosophies of communism,---which is tyranny. YOU have a brain that can think and achieve if you practice it. But you have to have freedom and free enterprise to do it. I had teachers who told me I was free in this nation and can grow up to be what ever I wanted to be. That meant I have a brain in my head and a free enterprise system to use it in, (How the USA built so fast, and why we were called the land of opportunity). But my old JH school now has a sign in front of it, the official planted school sign, "Forward to serve". You son, can grow up to be what ever the state will allow you to be (big difference),----and serve the state (instead of your self). That is communism son. It can only be poverty and control of individuals with force. Looks like we live under communism now. They hate your opportunity ion free enterprise ,---and you are agreeing with them. I have learned, we will get exactly what we deserve, and it all depends on how we think. Liberty and free enterprise or communism? I can tell what is taught.

  5658. His answer is trash and will not make it out of the political garbage truck. I have the best answer. If we followed the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, where each human being is a body with a brain that can "reason", (figure out reality, if practiced), and with the freedom from force as the USA was founded, (called a crime against somebody else's individual liberty, weather it a street criminal or a government), and those free people creating the free enterprise that got mankind out of poverty. Race and sex has nothing to do with it. Our founding philosophies were based on what you can morally (not crimes against others), do with your brain. If you and I do business together sir, we become not only more prosperous, (while creating opportunity for others with a brain), but we become friends. I just described the way to a civil and prosperous society with the ability to figure out anything in reality. The color of our skin nor the type of genitals we are born with, do not dictate the thoughts of the mind. Propaganda does that. Now for the knock out punch: "If you notice, every infringement that we are indoctrinated with in our schools today, how the nation was not fair to Blacks, or Women, etc, all of them,---not mattering if it came from a individual, a group, or a government,------was an infraction against that persons "individual liberty protected by law."" It is individual liberty and our free enterprise system that free people created in the first place that we MUST DEMAND back, (which are the opposite of communism, and not compatible). So sir, the only way you can have a perspective based on the color of your skin, (Black Conservative Perspective), would be if that was propaganda, and Ted Cruse went no further than "You do it toooooooooooooooooo!!!!!" I just told you how man should live, by our nature to think, free and fair. We did it once. What do you think the problem is? I don't see an opposition party to communism. By the way "conservative perspective", God did not give man our rights. God gave us a brain that can reason if practiced correctly, (bad schools), and we figured out our rights from there, based on the nature of man to think and achieve, based on man's nature,-----------------and we Created the USA! Ted has nothing.

  5780.  @ArcticTraveller-o7s  A sharp old school guy. How refreshing. :) My buddy had the 76 125 Elsinore and used it for hill climbing, (which he did well with in the 125 class). He went the other way and put a 38mm carb on it. I rode it once, (or tried to). That bike had zero power until about 10,000 rpm and maybe a 1000 rpm power range. You had to pin it to get the thing moving, or you would just stall. We lived in great days of USA MX back then, (gone now). Bike are so expensive today, if that was yesterday, we never would have rode/raced, and the record books from 1968 to about the mid eighties,---would not have anybody we know there. The best in the world, would never have ridden, as kids today can't afford their won bikes. They call it "progress" in our schools today. The progression of decline. Now a global government dictates what we make and buy, like the expensive 4-stroke that was forced on the industry by the likes of the EPA, that no kid can afford on his/her own. So sad. Oh yea,--how do you like the technical knowledge (none) of MXA today, which is now just a sales brochure? Man, we used to read MXA bike tests and know exactly what we were buying. My 2019 YZ250 2-stroke that I bought (after reading the modern MXA test), was a total shock, and needed a lot of work to make it a good bike. They said the jetting was good even. Obviously, MXA does not know how to jet a carb anymore. Richest jetting I have ever seen from a new 2-stroke. Doug in Michigan, (that has not produce a factory rider since Kelly Smith over 2 decades ago, with the activity pretty much dead in Michigan now.)

  5808. "I am an American, in the middle." (the famous saying) Really? Between commies and nazi's, as if Liberty is the fulcrum balance point between 2 dictatorships? Not the way I define it. "An American" is a person who believes in "individual liberty protected by law", (where a good court system is needed), with the citizenry creating and owning free enterprise, (as close to Laissez-Faire as possible). That is the opposite of dictatorships. So lets put all the dictatorships, from the "center mix" to the "EXTREME Left",----and Individual liberty on the "EXTREME Right", (The mix is in the middle, called "Grey Area".). Now. If you philosophically think man should live under Individual liberty because by the nature of man we have individual brains that are marvelous, (if practiced), and understand that it is the nature of man to think and achieve, having to be free to do so,---Than you are "EXTREMELY RIGHT!" Or,----------------------we can let the state run it all, let china take over US properties, (entering the new era), and see how that turns out. Ya gotta take this argument, (how we should live), to the philosophical level, because we have to live under some kind of philosophy, the root of "how we live our lives.", and we have the choice. Now you know why your Philosophy course in college was the "Confusion of the Curriculum", learning about a bunch of guys who would have been institutionalized in a rational society, (I love that part), having no idea why you got a good grade, just glad it was over to "never think about it again". Talk about the issues all you want. Warn us about what is coming (thanks). But reality is, "Philosophy, (How we live), is either the ruler, or the liberator of man.". Doug in Michigan
