exactly, but rail isn't subsidized nearly like highway and air. I think news and everyday citizens should know exactly what's going on when the elected to represent us are "on the job". they work for us (supposed to) so why can't we have the power to see what goes in and out of their inboxes, publicaly know what they do, who they talk to, and such.... like how a company could keep tabs on their employees

very nice. aren't the only speed limits over there in bad weather and maybe some "blind areas", if you're going >120mph...? engineering cars to be more capable doing these speeds is obviously happening...but the price of gas "now a days" is pushing the spectrum of cars the other way ^- i kinda didn't want to go there, but I think it was inevitable, so i made a comment first.

can't forget about rubber and steel, or does steel need coal...?....i think recycling things in new ways will become even bigger

return to what the founders gave us... a federal government to secure our country from internal and external threats, but if they did that i think 98% of federal government would/should implode. abolishing the IRS, the FED, the selective service. positive projects... pay our soldiers well and take care of the injured from the wars we wage at any cost, and prop up soldiers families if they are KIA. your energy ideas... I can see why you want to have a reward system, but that won't necessarily get the best ideas on the table to production, cause I think growing hemp would supplant our energy/industry needs quite quickly. as far as space goes... I'd say fund the next gen shuttle (something thrifty, but awesome), not a rehash of the Saturn 5, like planned ( i think )...something like the..X38 or something, don't remember at the moment.... then dwindle NASA funding for 20-30 years. anything else?

I don't know how many of you feel about it, but youtube or G video "the energy non-crisis" it's kinda old, and i haven't watched all of it... but i bet what i've watched (part 2 or 3 of 8 ) is at least 90% true edit: killed a smily

but the 98 ' bu is prolly the V6. 3.1L , that can show that large of the difference. are those numbers 08 equivalents or the originals? cause my 99 MC was 160hp rated for 20/29. i think every aveo/'balt owner would love a 1.4L turbo / BAS over the 2.2 or 2.4 engines.

some words come to mind from a famous paper... "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" I wonder what happened to that piece of hemp paper. I bet someone a long time ago essentially scribbled over parts of it... and encased it for no one else to mess with. edit: spelling

...and you don't have responsibilities if you don't hold a political office? the nation has many bigger problems than this problem is showing. we treat the problems usually like it's the sickness, while in reality it's only symptoms of the real sickness.

i'd sure hope so. I made 37mpg in indiana with my 3.1L 99 monte over 6-7 gallons

there was someone on NPR saying oil futures are predicted to possibly hit $150, or deflate this investing bubble down to ~$30... much like what haapen in the .com boom and what's happening to the housing market.... we shall see

It'd be very cool to see if GM could retrofit their diesel lines to beable to run 100% biodiesel before anyone else.

i saw the cartoon version of what the original supposedly is.....wow I'm sure there's a fetish name for that... but i don't care to know it/not my thing

my bro has one, very fun, but also way too noisy at highway speeds. the vibe does look ok for a reskinned T

I can agree mostly, but you're missing some facts, the germanic tribes / norse was quite monogomistic ( ? ), so were the mayans, so monogamy was not bound to the judeo-christian tradition...look at the kings in the bible, they had harems/concubines which is/was tradition in the region (also factor in the death rate into it too.) evidently our goverment got into the marriage business to keep incest and cousin marriages illegal, so otherwise "legal unions" were supposed to be only religious based, ie performed in a church/mosque/synagogue... #1..supposedly mormons don't practice polygamy anymore (may be the laws). though i'm not one so I don't know how to prove that quickly. #2, if gays want to "marry" they should push the government out of the marriage business, and find a "church" that allows it. even though i would think no widespread church would allow that.

netscape was a glossed over firefox, they ran the same base code... and it's dead now.... my boss loved it, said it told him to switch to FF. can't wait for 3, hopefully no more memory leaks when you leave it on "forever"

had barely more torque than the 3.8L 2 years later. I bet this engine could make ~280 HP with a high redline (6.7K) now a days....downsize the external size and throw it in an "SS" 'bu, or the w-bodies with a 6 speed manual. edit: or put this into Alpha

nevermind, looked it up... the monza had a 4.3L v8 option according to it's page on wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Cap...inal_Generation it is wiki, but it shows up on here. ENGINE CODE: L99 I seen at least 1 caprice with the 4.3L badges around here, but kinda assumed it was the V6. guessing this is the smallest V8 GM made since Buick had it's 3.5L aluminum block..as far as the last ~50 years go.

2 chrysler cars...NOOOOOOOO!!! getting the 3.5L or 4 cylinder?

I believe there is universal good. that said, I don't know what it is, but i have a good idea of what it is not. murder is not ethical, except when it is pushed that far in self defense...but then it's not really called murder at that point typically. good ethics should be universal, ethics relies on something moral morals are personal or group think/tradition...I think that's how i want to say it. Jefferson quote. if this is true, and everyone's morals are different then there are probably billions of "unorganized men" concerning ethics edit: the quote is the one in the box on the page.... there are lots more below it.

i would think that other than select companies, ie exxon... big ones that control the economy way to much, usually couldn't get by with expensive retrofits new regulations are making demanded while being ethical about everything,...? Look at the future of diesel as an example at what regulations do to "free markets"...

it is free market, but so is frauding people. and we persecute frauders too. I was saying... let's use an example. was it exxon or someone was polluting a river/stream that feeds into lake michigan... if the states test the water and it's above a regulation set by the states, then they set out to find the source and take legal action against the company, so could any person that has private property along the stream if they have a problem with it as well. Pollution has become something to push socialist legislation through federally. Free market and socialist programs can't coexist peacefully. somethings can't change overnight, ie. how many cars are on the road, but the legal system was supposed to be able to punish polluters through private property law. I don't hear about that anymore in the news and those problems are just thrown at the EPA to punish/suit/correct. I agree it is a way to "hurt" bad companies, but some companies can't do $h! about it, like concrete makers, until someone discovers a better way to do it. I would think the ie concrete companies were forced to use a certain amount of it's capital to encourage research, would be a better way to "regulate" polluters instead of making them give money to "green" companies. just thinking a little... carbon credits would have to be mandated, like in europe, to have any power, right? other wise it's just a "i feel better about my companies choices" thing. thus new regulations would stifle industrial growth without tech breakthroughs, and competition is the basis of free-markets. sincerely, tell me i'm wrong, if i am, and explain why.

i think i'm going to heat my house with natural gas... or a fireplace..... that's pollution if you think CO2 is pollution are you gonna be sued for pollution as well as arson... or is CA going to have to buy credits for the wild fires that happen there. It's a "where does it end" fraud. We already have the EPA, and look how well it works...typically not well. again, pollution is a bad thing, but if property laws were truly enforced, we'd need the EPA only for things that can't be obvious. If the EPA was really after polluters, they'd have to sue most of the corn growers and lots of pig farms in the USA. Over fertilizing the fields, run off into creeks > rivers..... run off of pig waste into rivers.... there's proof, it's the DEAD ZONE for some like 1000square miles around the mouth of the Mississippi. and it wouldn't be nearly as bad if farmers weren't subsidized to grow these high maintainence crops. instead of being able to grow whatever they want to make real income, not tax payed income. am I missing something to your question, cause the "need" for carbon credits is a break down of the system we're supposed to have, free market, with limited regulation (at least federally).

assuming the previous trends continue.

wow........ what to say.
