I've been hunting for a thread where we discussed what good things republican administrations have achieved since WW2 or so.I recall it started with a made up story about someone called Joe getting in his car and going to work and it detailed all the rights, safety standards, protections and regulations etc that were relevant to his day and were due to legislation introduced by democratic administrations. I'm not sure if it was one I started or maybe Besson started it?

Does anyone else remember it? I can't recall anything specific enough to find it using the search feature. Any help please?
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

I even went through the list of threads I started. I'm a right weirdo. Thanks!

Hey, I managed not to act like a jackass for the most part.

You can tell right at the end was when I discovered moral foundations theory.

I've asked that question about noble republican achievements a few times since. No one else has even matched the offerings from that thread.

That was a classic thread. Great re-read. Actual debate, interesting points, back and forth, some bants AND a classic CTP interlude. All in one thread. Awesome!

Now where's that thread about how to define a sports car? That was fun too.
