Hmmm... Sorry to make you mad. I come from a farming family and I get a bit irrational when it comes to the whole farm issue.
My main point is that there is a lot of "Do as I say, not as I do" going around.
Silver spoon boy? When people started moving out from the city, an acre or land became worth what 100 acres used to be- and the new residents demanded services and taxes shot up. The land the farm was on became worth so much that the property taxes were more than the farm could ever produce. So we had to sell it. I am sorry if that makes me silver spoon boy, but what would you do with a windfall like that? Would you have given it all away, just to not be a "silver spoon boy?"
I love being called a prick by people who I don't know- it makes me laugh, because I get along well with 99.9% of the people I meet, so I am guessing you and I would get along well if we ever met my friend...
Good points. Although, no one who isn't on a test track egts the CAFE mileage... Most drivers get a lot, lot less (lead foot, underinflated tires, windows down on highway etc.)
Good point- but RE the suburban model failing- Northern Ohio is interesting- Cleveland, Youngstown and Akron Proper are dead. Almost all the business is in the suburbs now. There are several suburbs 15-20 miles out from Cleveland are in the suburbs. Progressive Ins, Aleris Aluminum etc are in Cleveland Suburbs. A lot of people live in the suburbs, but a few miles from their jobs. Sort of interesting- almost like the suburbs are the new cities.
Okay- I agree with the fact that the market will take care of it- but with more fuel efficient cars and new technology.
I'd rather see farmland in places like Ohio & Upstate NY be used as farmland, instead of being yet another place for asshats sick of citylife to throw up yet another cookie-cutter 4 bed/2.5 ba colonial on 1.2 acres.
We don't like the city asshats either, but on the other hand I am financially secure for the rest of my life because we sold my grandfathers farm for development.
And I am sure you would be glad to know that I get paid (YES PAID $$$) to actually NOT grow things on the farm I currently own. Isn't the gov't great!!!
And I hate to tell you, but most people buying these house on 1.2 acres can afford higher gas prices.
Here is the rub my friend- There are many people with a lot of $$$, and these people have 50K SUVs and 750K homes. A lot of intellectuals who went to great schools and feel intellectually superior to people who have big houses and cars, make 40-50K a year. They act like they hate the people with the 50K SUVs and and 750K homes because they pollute, when in actuality it is resentment that they feel smarter, yet have no $$$.
And we all would like to see more farmland used as farms. But with CAFTA, we are only going to see more produce from S America grown by people making 50 cents a day. And I personally know three farming families that had to sell the farm due to inheritance tax. 500 acres is worth way over the exemption.... Why do you think 99% of farmers are Republicans?
Um- How much money do you save recycling aluminum? How much do you get paid to drive to the city facility to get rid of old paint and batteries instead of throwing them out? How much do you save by (Name any act that is helpful to the enviornment)?
Doing the right thing isn't always about saving money....
I usually plow snow in the winter as a second job (Find me another second job where you make $50 and hour to drive around in a truck smoking cigarettes and listening to music) but I almost never drive my plow truck in the summer. Is at a big, comfy F350 dually crew cab? Yes. Can I afford to gas it and drive it to work everyday? Yes. Do I? No. I sometimes ride my bike, sometimes carpool and sometimes drive my car. But my big, comfy (I am 6'4" so a F350 is nice for me) truck at home all winter. Why? Because I feel a responsibility for the Earth
Our current model, where every individual drives 5-80 miles twice a day to work, shop, etc is unsustainable, period.
Huh? Of course it is sustainable. Maybe not with internal combustion engines, one of the most innefecient motors around. But why not with Euro type diesels running on Biodiesel? Or cars like in the article, running on solar.
The long-term "fix" is to do what the Chinese are doing -- build sustainable cities where mass-transit and mixed use areas eliminate the need for most cars.
Yeah- China is an enviornmentalists dream...
That won't work in the US. A lot of us hate city life. I live in the country, and am not moving because some lefties think I should. And look at NYC- the average New Yorker produces 6 lbs of garbage a day- the national average is 4. So much so that New York exports trash to Ohio and Pennsylvania to our landfills.
There is no chance of knocking down all the US and starting over, and people like having their own vehicles- thats not going to change. The technology is there for clean vehicles- we just need to implement it. The problem with your statement, is that it will NEVER happen- we are not going to do theb city thing in the US. What will happen is that we will get sustainable personal vehicles. There are houses up here in northern Ohio that run 100% on solar, and we aren't teh sunniest place.
Good point- I have to be honest- I don't mind ads when they are for something that interests me, and they aren't the cutesy madison avenue ads. FOr example, it is a waste of my time to have stayfree, massengil, Volvo and impotence ads on My TV. It is just wasted money from the advertisers. On the other hand, there are many ads that would appeal to me but not to many other people i.e. Chevy Camaro Parts, Model Trains, Tech stuff etc.
Ad specialization could lead to fewer ads (Yes, I know that is a long shot- there may be even more ads) because a company who spends $100 to reach 100 people who may or may not want their product would likely spend $10 to reach one person who would very likely want their product.
Imagine "sniffer RFID" panties that targeted ads for massengil or vaginal deoderant....
Imagine Backscatter Xray machines that checked out your bush and advertised waxing or nair....
I worried about that too, but it has an interlock. You still have to put the key in it to unlock the steering wheel and get it into gear. Also, the doors are locked when it remote starts (that is actually requirement by law, that the doors have to be locked with a remote start system) so if someone would still have to break in, and that would fire off the alarm system.
My situation is also unique- I live in a fairly rural area, and my driveway is about 1/4 mile long so the truck isn't easily accesible.
I have a block heater- The problem is that it doesn't help with the iced up windows.
As far as the pollution- I start it only 10 minutes before I am ready to leave, and the neighbors aren't close enough where it is a problem. And actually, it is much better for the engine for it to be warm before I start driving, and actually better for the enviornment. A cold motor idling isn't that polluting, but driving the vehicle before it is warmed up is awful- uses a ton of gas and pours pollutants into the air.
Once we can integrate a PC into the whole thing with voice activation, it will be awesome- Some cars have features like instant MPG and GPS/Nav- but these are expensive options. Imagine your head unit controlling your many song music collection all while monitoring your exhaust to see how your motor is running. Add some sex somehow and it is the geeky man trifecta- Cars, Computers and women.
Sure all these features may distract a driver, Except the remote start- My summer car and my wife's car are in the garage- so my truck sits out. Being able to start it and have it warm and have the ice defrosted when I go outside is great. If you live in the south or west, you can't imagine what it is like to get in a truck that has been sitting outside all night in below 0 weather... and then scraping the ice off it.
Okay, you and I are arguing about nothing,because I don't think I was clear. Being banned doesn't make something good. My point is this- If someone says- the pot is hot, I'll take their word for it and save myself the burn. If someone says that I shouldn't read a book because it contains ideas that I need to be protected from, then I want to read it and make my own decision. I am not talking about Hustler here. My guess is that if I could articulate my point better, you and i would agree. What is one of the first things a facsict govt bans? Books about democracy. I just think we need to stay off the slippery slope- once we can ban something because it is purient, it isn't far from banning it because we dont agree with the ideas... Let me know what you think. It's immature to think that any media is made better for the sole reason of it being "dirty/sexual/obscene". If it's good, it should be read on its own merits, whether or not obscenity is a part of that. If it sucks, all the sex scenes in the world can't redeem it.
I agree 100% I am not talking so much about sex as ideas. What if the same senators who want to ban games decide to ban positive books about their political opposition...
Are you serious? A lot of great literature has been banned. The point is, when we decide to let others decide what we can and can't read/say/do, it is a huge problem. You are focusing only on video games- The same forces that would ban certain types of "dirty/sexual/obscene" music, may also ban music that is anti-administration or makes a political statement the banners don't agree with. There is an entire world outside of video games my friend. Hopefully when you see the statemant in this light you will see that it is not immature.
Um- What do game ratings really matter. We want our kids to be informed, but if they watch/read the news they will be able to see a lot of violence and sex. And it is real violence and sex.
What a joke- does anyone think that kids who have absentee parents are going to be okay as long as they play age appropriate games, and a well nurtured kid is going to be a thug if he plays GTA?
The first thing our eyes see when we are born is a vagina. A vagina is a natural, beautiful, wonderful thing. So are breasts as they provide nourishment, and politicians want to keep these fine things from us.
I had an English teacher who told me that you should ALWAYS read banned books, because whomever banned them got to read them, and why can they read something you can't.
I thought mice mostly just did mazes.
I wonder what this will mean for consoles. Will consoles have a keyboard ever, so those of us who enjoy usinga keyboard for game play can emulate the experience in our living rooms?
Um- When is Amazon going to patent their great shopping experience- Like when you shop around the site, find 10-15 items cheap, put them in your AMAZON shopping cart, think you are getting a great deal, and then go to check out and realize that all your items in your AMAZON shopping cart are from a ton of different stores, and that your shipping and handling is separate from each location, and the SH charge would be well over the merchandise total for these 15 items.... Is Amazon going to patent that waste of consumers time and method of gauranteeing abandoned shopping carts?
Sorry for the typo in the parent- It is a 78, not a 75. It does have the auto ride leveling, but it mostly kicks in when the trunk is full. It has a 425 ci motor. White with Robin's Egg blue leather interion, and 38,000 original miles on the Odo. It used to be my grandmother's.
When the tire blew- it was on the pass side and the car pulled to the right, as I was driving along a culvert (I live in a rural area).
Anyway- I am really glad that there are some fellow caddy fans on slash dot
Okay- I am going to admit to a funny error. I sold about 40 car repair manuals that I got for free on Ebay about a year ago. They fit perfectly in priority mail boxes and weighed under a lb so it was 3.85 to ship them anywhere in the country. Plus, with priority mail, you print the label on you computer (and pay), tape it on the box with the priority tape the USPS gives you free, and throw it on your front porch. You don't need to call for a pickup as the Mailman is there 6 days a week. (I live in a nice area, so there isn't an issue of theft from the porch, and it isn't visible from the street).
So I go online on usps.com and order 40 of the boxes I thought I needed. Except, of course, I am an idiot, so I ended up ordering 40 box of 10, thus 400 boxes. I felt like an ass, not so much because of the free boxes (I have actually used well over half of them so far for mailing) but because I my postman is a cool guy and the thought of him with 40 boxes of boxes....
A good reason to have anything bought on Ebay etc shipped by USPS- if it turns out to be counterfit, call the US Postal Inspection Service. They don't take kindly to misuse of the mail. UPS and FedEx don't have sworn federal agents with guns to investigate fake products sent theough their delivery channels....
Okay- the point about S&W is 100% irrelevant- The vast majority of S&W's profits are from legal uses, in fact almost all guns used in crimes were stolen and sold on the street, so S&W doesn't make money off that, the same way the rolling stones don't make money when you buy a used CD.
That said- If your points above are taken seriously, then most newspapers and news shows should not do what they do. Sure, a ton of what newspapers print about people is public record, but how dare newspapers report it!!!
Look, all one has to do is type Eric Schmidt into google and see what comes back.
It isn't 1990 when you had to go to the courthouse and research things that are public record in a moldy basement- the info is as near as the nearest computer.
If your logic is correct, then news sources should only report things that are already common knowledge...
I have read in a few car magazines (who are of course biased towards higher speeds) that is isn't necessarily sppeders who cause accident, but people who drive +-10 mph over the speed of surrounding traffic. The grandpa going 40 on the highway is dangerous.
The fastest I ever had a blowout was at 35mph, but it was in a 1975 Caddy (19 feet long, 4600 lbs, 2 door!) and that puppy was not easy to control.
Uh... Aren't race and also whether you have a vagina or a penis genetic....
If you can discriminate against someone for having one type of gene, then why not others?
I agree- let our prayers or good thoughts, whatever your inclination, be with the astronauts.
After the seven Russians escaped their tangled sub, I breathed a sign of relief. Hopefully we will all be able to feel the same when the Discovery touches down safely.
I just sincerely hope that there is nothing wrong with the shuttle, as our Russian Friends have offered to bring down our Astronauts if need be. As much as I would like to see the Shuttle land under its own power, who else, who lived through the 80s, is amazed and gets a smile on their face when they think of the British and US helping the Russian Sub and the Russians being willing to help our Astronauts... Maybe there is a chance for the world...
Uh... not that I do this, but, er, a friend did it...
Does anyone else reply to these scam emails with the name and phone number of ex-girlfriends/people they can't stand? Not that I would ever do that...
Of course scamming is wrong, but seriously, at least these guys aren't killing anyone. I mean, ask yourself seriously, if you had a college degree, and lived in Nigeria and had no job prospects, would you ever consider this? Desperate times=desperate measures...

I don't know exactly- but my understanding is that it isn't much in terms of gas- the real problem is the fiberglass filters never break down.
Good points. Although, no one who isn't on a test track egts the CAFE mileage... Most drivers get a lot, lot less (lead foot, underinflated tires, windows down on highway etc.)

Plus, nothing repels women like a Geo Metro. So you have to factor that in.
I hate that minivans get a free pass. Most of the time their MPGs are as bad as SUVs
