    The price of leather jackets

    easy there... Okay, gold was priced "appropriately" from say 1833- 1918 at about $18.00 an oz. and under $100 all the way up to the first rise of 1973. So what's that, 150 years of basically the same price. and then stayed steady for the most part from the late 70's throughout the mid...

    Or perhaps, people who actually have attitudes against controversial subject, actually have attitudes against controversial subjects. And maybe people who blame the government for them use those subjects as a crutch because it's really they don't like the government...

    The price of leather jackets

    I wouldn't use the hugely inflated price of today's gold as a basis to say $900+ is a great price for a jacket. You're comparing it to a jacket that was sold at Sears. Not some custom handmade jacket. I can't see them as the same. You should see what Sears is selling now and use...

    What a lovely reply. It'd be nice to get that once in a while instead of the usual unrefined banter that's thrown around.

    If a woman volunteers to join, she should be given every opportunity to fight if she wants to. Some of this talk is sounding like another debate the army's had in the past about other groups. They got past that, and now it's women. And in 20 years when women are fight just like men, it'll...

    lol not that well versed... just read the back... a good cleaning will run close to 100 and I have no idea what the hands will cost or a new dial. Probably $50.00 but that might be low..

    congratulations on your multiple academic awards for 20th century pop culture! Again, I never asked or used the word "Credentials." That was James. and when I referred Jazz to hippies as in how they scared the status quo... I wasn't referring ONLY to the musicians. Jazz was an age that...

    lol I'm not going to list my credential to you. "NOW". so you think hippies only lived at Haight Ashbury? That might be where the movement started, but it was worldwide. if you had asked nicely, then maybe. But I don't respond to that...

    Jazz in the 20's was considered subversive and a threat to morals of the time. It had new looks in clothes, sex, attitudes and music. And yes, even pot as you point out. Now if you only look at the hippies you see in films and TV as you would since you weren't around when the true "hippie"...
