Does anyone know of a good Nikon forum? Okay okay, I know that there isn't any photography site on the net as good as this one! ;) My dad is having problems with the 18-135mm lens he got with his Nikon D80. Autofocus has failed on his second lens. I'm looking for a place to see if this is a trend or not.

Two memorable moments in semi juvenile American Media history come to mind,. moments that despite the seemingly simple roots, offer amazing amounts of wisdom.

Both explain that diplomacy is more dangerous to the individual than taking sides in most cases. Walking the fine line leaves with no friends at all, as opposed to taking a side, any side, which gets you at least half.

the first is from "They Live" by John Carpenter Starring "Rowdy Roddy Piper"
"The middle-of-the-road is the most dangerous place to be"
It's a very deep sentiment :)

the other instance is from a Comic book no less, about the origins of the "Pahntom Stranger"

It seems that he's been around a while,. in fact He was one of Yahweh's Arch Angels before Humanity, and also a compadre of another of the highest ranking angels in the Pantheon, one Lucifer.

It seems that during the planning stages of Lucifer's revolt against Yahweh for messing around with "humans" too much, he could not decide which camp to side with, he was turn between his dedication to his G-d, and his devotion to his closest friend.

He never could decide, and in the end, when Lucifer and his cohorts were cast down, He was also exiled from the Heavens.. but since he had not backed Lucifer, he could not join him in his new kingdom below, nor could he return to his home in Heaven and thus was doomed to walk the Earth for all eternity... stuck in the middle as the Phantom Stranger.


Oh kaaaaaaaaaaaay....
And this while I'm stone cold sober?
