There is really no problem with context for a filter, the only problem is with the folks that put the filter together in the first place, the political correctness folks will probably be the death of all of us in the end. The wife and I got back from the Philippines last week, we took a day to go out to Corregidor, the movies can't give it justice, it pretty much is the way it was after the war, hard to believe the place was so big, and so many people died there, the buildings were very big and not much left, I didn't get out to Fort Drum this trip, google Fort Drum you will love what you see... After we got down to Cebu we took all the neices and nephews over to Ormoc City and then to Tacloban City, we stopped at Palo Cathedral built in 1596, us military hospital from october 20 1944 to March 1945, then to red beach where the americans landed to start to re-take the islands, from there you can look out into Leyte Golf the place where the largest naval battle in history took place, and the sad part is so few people know anything about history, and even when you take them there they don't seem to be interested, I didn't know the battle for Ormoc Bay was as big as it was or that there were as many ships on the bottom of Ormoc Bay, I found a warehouse complex a few years ago built by the Japanese but no one around there seemed to care about it at all anymore.. Remember the USS Indianapolis, that was in the Philippine Sea, between Guam and Leyte Golf, hard to believe that so many are not at all interested in history, my neices and nephews are not so lucky, when we go over they get to go with us and I make them remember where we went and why we went there, this trip they even were at the last big house that the Marcos's built in Tacloban, and the house that Imelda Marcos still goes to, she grew up there, no signs on the road, just a great big fence and gate but we spent an hour walking around the place, was pretty fancy. Like I said, it's a shame more folks are not more interested in history, or forget it so fast, what the Japanese did in the Philippines was nothing to them, they would have done it to the rest of the world if they had the chance..

Today's Featured Article - Sunday Drives - by Cowboy. Summer was finally upon us here in Northern Maine. We have two types of industry up here, one being "Forestry" (Wood Products) and the other "Farming" (Potatoes). There is no shortage of farm tractors and equipment around here! I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
