    how do you explain blind people having dreams then? the optic nerve is part of the brain, but it's not the sole part that produces what you "see", think of it as the usb cable that connects the printer that produces the image.

    I agree, if they want smaller cars, give registration breaks and tax incentives for smaller cars, rather then making everyone pay more.

    Another thing about this plan is they mislead you trying to say you save $3000, when it's $3000 over the life of the car. what is the life of the car? 20 years? $3000 over 20 years (or even 10) means your losing money with the up front cost of $900.

    as with you, i own small cars 1.5L engines and under.

    it's easy to paint anything in a bad light when you make up imaginary scenario's and play the "what if" card to it's nth degree. eg.

    what if i didn't get my national id card and someone tries to shoot me, and the bullet could have been stopped by the card? think of all the people what could be saved by bullet proof national id cards!!!

    making up implusible things that might happen isn't a strong defense.

    the problem is, nothing like your paranoid dreams has ever come true. technology doesn't instantly mean a corrupt all powerful government, in fact the real world is just the oppersite. no one uses id cards to control people, they use guns, land mines and machettes.

    I listed new prolusion systems as what we need to aim for before more manned flights. every dollar you spend waste sending a guy to the moon is a dollar you could have put into a new method of "affordable" space travel.

    this is why we need to figure out how to escape the earths gravity for much less then $20,000 a kg (the current cheapest price).

    space exploration has the potential to drive demand to new highs so even if you found this 500k gold nugget it wouldn't matter, because the process of exploring space is going to consume massive resources.

    how about we solve the cost issue of just getting into orbit, and work on alternative propolsion systems to get places faster before blowing our cookies over manned trips to the moon, which add NOTHING of scientific value and solve no problems.

    a manned trip to mars would be the only goal i could think of that would truely be worth the price tag for an achievement just to say we have done it (similar to why we went to the moon), with all our technology we are still yet to walk on another planet.

    so because there's some risks you can't control like people argueing, we shouldn't try control any of the risks at all?

    there's conclusive research showing texting and talking on the phone impairs the drivers abilities. you've got one hand off the wheel and your distracted.

    there's nothing wrong with just not answering the phone, pulling over or installing a hands free kit.
