Not your fault. Have you heard it? It's about donating your car to the NRA. They start out with this spiel about how our military supplies were cut off during WW2 and that farmers were donating their tractors for scrap drives. How nuts is that? First of all, in reading the back history of WW2 aluminum scrap drives were all propaganda. We had all aluminum bauxite we would need; that whole scrap drive thing was to get Americans involved in the war, show England we were committed; farmers wouldn't be donating their tractors because how would they raise crops for the military/populace.

Anyway, that's my take on it.

But can one actually call them up and some benefit to the NRA results?
