Glitch Free?

Someone posted that they do not think there will ever be such a thing as a "glitch free" show. I agree. But what this person seems to be missing is the fact that they can, and should, be better than they are. And they will not get that way by ignoring what is wrong. On the contrary, they will get worse.

As I have often pointed out, a garden is a nice thing - like car shows. But if you just sit back and do nothing to prevent it, the weeds come in. And if you still do nothing, the weeds eventually take over the garden. And if you STILL do nothing to change it, the garden will be lost. Nothing left to enjoy.

You may choose to just sit back and try and enjoy, without lifting a finger to make things better or keep them clean. But many of us understand that will only cause more harm, so we would rather take a more active part in the hobby, and protect it.

Yes, it SHOULD be a fun thing. But tell me - how much fun can anything be if it is overtaken with dishonesty and unfairness? On the other hand, how much MORE fun can it be if it is kept honest and fair to ALL, and not just "the good ol' boys" who keep screwing everyone else over?

You also speak of this blog being critical of the shows. That is not true. You seem to conveniently ignore all the good things we point out with shows, and the kudos we give when things go right. HotKarz points out BOTH sides, every time. And if one side is poor, so be it - I will not ignore it and feed everyone a line of BS about how great it was in the Land of Oz. You may not like the truth, but that does not make the truth go away.

You say you do not get involved. That is your choice. But that is like not voting - you lose any right to complain when things do not go your way. When folks do not get involved, remain neutral, the weeds take over. If you allow that by doing nothing, then you have no right to complain about the harvest if it does not bear fruit.

I don't like weeds. They should be removed so better things can grow and bear fruit.

It would be so nice if, without taking an active part, everything would just be and stay great. Imagine, no more need of police - no one will try to do any harm to anyone else. No need to weed gardens. No need to mow lawns, or even go to work. Unfortunately, that is not a world I recognize, because it doesn't exist. Everything worthwhile requires effort to create it, maintain it, and protect it. You do that with your cars - why not with your shows?
