    Even Blind Squirrels Occasionally Find A Nut...

    Even Blind Squirrels Occasionally Find A Nut...

    Sometimes an individual makes a crack [or vice versa] and doesnt realise
    the intensity of the truth in the remark. This qualifies as one of those cases.
    To compound the hilariousness tenfold, I believe the evil empire enjoys it
    almost as much as Ernestine does.

    Hulu - Saturday Night Live: Ernestine

    The really sad part is that the whole thing has turned into a
    juvenile blunt instrument fest for control of the history that
    exactly resembles this video:

    Hundreds living the Airstream dream stop in Robstown | VIDEO
    Wally Byam Caravan Club International at Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds
    Corpus Christi Caller Times - Mark Collette - January 27, 2011

    They are members of the board of trustees for the Wally Byam Caravan
    Club International, named for the inventor of the trailer that for them is a
    way of life.

    This week, the club's trustees are taking care of business, including the
    remnants of a debate that threatened to cause a schism in the club in the
    1980s.

    Airstream had begun producing modern, self-propelled motor homes, a
    move that deeply offended Airstream purists. At first, only motor homes
    with the classic metallic frame were allowed in the club. Today, some motor
    homes in the club scarcely are recognizable as Airstreams but for the name
    on the side.

    Club members said purists have relented during the past 25 years because
    of the need for new members. Membership dropped from 27,000 to about
    6,000 today. Club spokesman Leonard Sullivan said he's not certain about
    the cause, but rises in fuel prices are a major factor.

    Sounds like a White House answer. They have as much bureaucracy* as the fed gov't too.

    *In the social sciences, a bureaucracy is a large organization characterized by hierarchy, fixed rules, impersonal relationships, rigid adherence to procedures, and a highly specialized division of labor.

    You're right. And his response was a purchased answer..like clip art.

    But, however anyone feels about WBCCI or how its run...the truth is its
    being destroyed on purpose from the inside out.

    Make no mistake about it...it is on purpose.

    I have the documentation to substantiate that statement.

    I tried to put that across, but just like the government, its
    like talking to a brick. Oh well, one thing you can always count on is that
    sooner or later everyone gets what they have coming to them.

    There's hope though. There is a solution.

    When you care about something passionately, it is hard not to be a purist unless, of course, you like whatever the new or modernized version is. For me, an airstream will never be motorized.

    I think we've all learned a bit about CHANGE the last 2 years
    [I didnt vote for it].

    Nothing wrong with being passionate about things or being a purist.
    I happen to be both on a number of issues, including history, freedom,
    and my country [USA] among other things.

    But most folks know the difference between right & wrong and also
    understand personal boundaries & personal responsibility.

    The WB has been hijacked by a group that understands neither and
    is constantly rife with arguing, bickering, harrassment, and personal
    knife fights. I personally know of a couple of occasions of folks being
    hospitalized and developing stress-related medical issues and I believe
    thats just the tip of the iceberg:

    An Amendment to the WBCCI Constitution - Page 11 - Airstream Forums

    Needless to say, I do not recommend membership at this time.

    Its good to remember...
