But I agree, it what's wrong with this country. No, not hero worship.....lack of COURTESY + RESPECT!

Your words not mine...why was it a privilege? Because she has a famous name? Why was it a honor? Because she has a famous name? Your idea of honor and privilege are different then mine. She is only afforded this so called "honor + privilege" because she is related to someone. What has she done to deserve it besides folks like you putting her on a pedestal? Ill placed in my opinion.

rob: She is only a VP of Harley Davidson! She is the head executive in the motor cloths division and very successful. She earned her position by educational qualifications and job performance. She contributes to H-D's success on her abilities and not name.

You have a problem with successful females? Do they make you feel small and insignificant?

She wouldn't be responsible for all of those "made in china" labels I see in those motor clothes, would she? Not much for me to honor there I'm afraid.

I guess I missed the part where she failed to stand for the flag. More likely explanation for the sour grapes is someone forgot to take their Prozac today.

I saw no mention of a flag in the OP's original post. This started out to be a cool story, then some jealous ******** had to change the subject and start in about not honoring the flag. If you want to start a post about honoring the flag , then by all means go for it.

I explained that, but you choose to remain oblivious to the concept! I simply extended the same courtesy + respect to her that her dad + brother extended to me when I met them. I truly appreciated Karen taking time outta her busy schedule to speak + ride with our ladies. No way was I gonna let anything happen to her under our watch. My ideas about "honor + privilege" are extremely well founded. It's truly LAUGHABLE you attempt to explain them to me!
