Every once in awhile a post will hit Ridecamp that is not only worth
reading, it's worth reading over and over again. This is one of those
posts.
I?m not sure if I'll go to see the movie about Mr. Hopkins, the wife
& kid will decide that one for me. But, if I do go, I will view it
with Tom's post in mind. Thanks, Tom.

Howdy RC'ers, We are a wide group are we not?
Hopkins was a fake and there may be some who will always believe he
wasn't. Life is too short to take on needless battles and I'll leave it
to the CIA Director to fall on his sword over false information. I just
asked a question to the Long Riders and got one hell of an answer.
Smoky Killen is my Hero, tho some think him a shit. Thats the disparity
between fact and fiction. A very wide abyss filled with carcasses who
have taken the climb. Some look and aspire for it while others, it just
comes looking for them because they are needed by the weak to feel
strong. Endurance has its Heroes and mine is Becky Hart because I've
seen her down in Pratoni del Valvo and pick herself up and come back 3 times
and maintain her credibility from heights seen by only the few.
CuChullaine O'Reilly, if he be an Atheist is my Hero. There are
Christians I think Demonic, does that make me a heretic? Because
some Muslims are my friends am I a traitor? Because I am still riding
Cat Stevens Peace Train have I gone off track by a Muslim Conductor?
Politics change and usually its all due to money or some form of power.
We as a Nation would have given them arms and money and wished them well in
1980 but today??? They are the enemy and our ignorance has just
grown. This discussion is much too broad for RC. Enjoy the
movie. Today, Mr. O'Reilly and his wife, Basha, are in
England planning a trip around the world taking 3 years. The Long Riders
are into Life Changing experiences, not just one day feats and victories and
losers markers every 100 yards. Is he my Hero? Yes,he is. tom
