    "Religion on the other hand just wishes science would go away. The only thing it has going for it is ignorance."

    but this is not the case for the vast majority of religious people. it would be more accurate to say

    "Liberals on the other hand just wish religion would go away. The only thing liberals have going for them is their prejudice of those who don't believe what they do."

    but then, back in the 60's and 70's being a liberal meant respecting other peoples views.

  21. It's Already been done on US Wants Natural Gas As Major Auto Fuel Option · · Score: 1

    in the late 70's early 80s it was a bootleg fuel that was commonly used on many leases and ranches. as long as you didn't cross pavement it was legal.
    if you hit a formation high, you had a gas well like it or not. at that time natural gas pipelines didn't extend as far as they do now so you were forced to complete it and then cap it. they would run it thru what i guess you'd call a still. it was a series of compressors and refrigerators until it was liquid. add a quart of 30 weight for ever 55 gallons to stabilize it and it ran like gas. worked until they introduced catalytic converters.
