I haven't even read Kinky's platform and to be honest, thought he looked like some kind of John Wayne type dude. That wasn't what mattered.
What's cool here, or at least cool to me, was that rpm decided to get involved. And his involvement no doubt had a tangible effect on Kinky's success. It's a money-where-your-mouth-is kind of thing... and kudos to rpm for that. Why? Because of sentiments like this:
"Any time an outsider tries to challenge a massive and powerul corrupt system, the system kills them." - Yeager
That's pretty fatalistic. Yet at the same time, realistic. Because of the fatalism.
The only way to turn that around is through efforts not unlike the one displayed here by one grocery clerk, in one county, in one state.
Bravo, dude.
