    The "aliens from another world invasion" will get the propaganda machine going.

    I was thinking on how "they that run things" are running out of evil enemies and terrorists and have to find a new FOE to keep people BU$Y as the WAR machine is a BIG money and JOB maker.

    The framers of the United Nations charter and other such concepts never foresaw the world wide web and the internet where people from many countries can sell and buy most anything on eBay the worlds largest garage sale & flea market.

    So as I was thinking on just WHAT "might" work on a world filled with sheeple. I thought evil alien invasion.

    If you can get people to believe all the things that many already believe, a evil alien invasion is possible to PULL off, or I should say OVER,lol.

    EVIL alien invasion they say in the NEW$?

    I'm not worried as I have all my squirt guns and balloon grenades filled with Kool Aid and wine coolers for the BIG nastys,lol.

    I bring up the Kool-Aid in squirt guns as back in the mid 60's there was alien cattle mutations and such in the NEW$ and I remember figuring that IF such aliens were POSSIBLE, that Kool-Aid in a squirt gun would keep them away from me. I basically didn't believe what the news and such were saying as it didn't ADD UP when ALL was weighed and measured with total honesty.

    We have a world where people want to believe what ever they choose even if it's not logical or wise.



    So get ready for the EVIL alien invasion and remember that you read/heard it here first...

    focker, from my experience, you wont he able to distribute weight by use of standard equipment. they are made to match chassis height with trailer chassis height. if im not mistaken it helps with sway as well. I will tell you Ive seen a bunch of trailers and own quite a few and have never seen anything like that. I would look into goosenecking that trailer (it costs about 600 bucks around my way) the gooseneck hitch centers weight on top of the rear axel and extremely improves ride quality and weight you can handle safely. I also prefer the maneuverability of the gooseneck on a long trailer, especially in a city environment.

    $30 a ton. Wow that's depressing. I doubt I would go through the effort to sell it at that point.

    Indeed it is.. My one guy I called to just send him all my steel isn't taking calls right now. May end up just taking it over to my local non-ferrous yard that will allow me to to purge steel for free.. better to get it out of here if I can't get a curbco guy to take it!

    This is getting bad.. My yard just went to 2 cents a pound, or 40 dollars a ton. That stinks. They used to give me one and a half to two cents a pound more because of how much I brought in, but the owner stopped me today when I brought in almost 13k pounds of shred I'm my semi and said "hey bud I'm sorry but board price is the best I can do for you".

    I'm getting nervous of what is to come...
