You really think we will ever stop drilling for oil???
Dude. Nicely put I have never heard anything so stupid. Perhaps you should expand on your basis for this hopeful statement?

The fact is that yes we are all now aware that energy price is just now starting to come in line with our lack of supply. What once was a price meant to stimulate use is now a price that is structured to not price out the market and to maintain it. Which is why that we still see a viable solution in increased production supported by expanded exploration of the same fossil fuel system. Oil companies are only now admitting to the fact that the price of gas is both based on supply as well as what the market will bare. There once was a day where the cop out was... "Hey it is not us doing this it is OPEC." BS. What was really being put out was, it's the crazy A-RABS.

Like what Big tobacco knew back in the day. Once hooked it's done. Shroud the addiction in glamor and now you have the model of what Pablo Escobar created. A criminal enterprise, loosely accepted by the masses. On a smaller individual scale. Products spring up Redbull like products are the classic example those who use them will pay just the right amount to keep using them. They have got you. They make no apologies about their profitability their cost and surely are glossing over any affect of underage use or long term affect. Drug dealers have always known that the first one is free. As in oils case one long term affect would be running out of the stuff after we have become so dependent. When this day comes the only thing left to change is a moot point. What then will change is everything. Any individual who has truly battled an addiction will tell you how painful it is. The recovery is the death of many. Death confronts you for some for the first time. What do you feel the outcome will be once the world is forced to come to terms with it's massive addiction? Bedlam, Anarchy, Marshall law, internments, The death blow of the middle class. "country folk will survive."

As Solo I feel feels.
Disguise our addiction behind a "green" happy do good movement what you get is the classic enabler. Or worse for us just another one of the sheep who subscribe to the hype.

Nothing new with Modelheads u-tube link.

My grandfather in the 40's & 50's was the chief design engineer for Northrup Aircraft. Those who know of Jack Northrup will know that he was a interesting cat. Did not subscribe to following convention. In fact he was not a member of the war machine he was always motivated by form design and bettering humanity. His military service was purely a vehicle to finance his more noble aspiration of the next great inventor. While there were many notable projects that POPS worked on with Jack most notably the YB-46 "flying wing" Originally designed as a passenger airliner that not only had a huge payload but also had no radar signature. At that time this was not seen as strategic. In fact it was seen as a problem.

Back to the topic. Northrup also developed a gyro that was started by hand with a pull cord. The basic design idea was an electro magnate perpetual motion gyro with the capacity to power your house as well as a aircraft. It was at the time about the size of a refrigerator and was intended to last about as long as one would. Also not a coincidence. Essentially you would cleanly manufacture your own electricity. So when the pentagon discovered the genious of the flying wing that was invisible they also stumbled upon the electro magnet gyro. Ron Reagan in the 80's borrowed or took ownership this technology to begin to build a massive scaled up version deep below ground in Kentucy called the "super conductor" As an alternate to Nuke and coal. According to POPS the utility lobbiests back then killed the Northrup perpetual motion generator. The fact remains that the technology is so simple that it would/could/may still yet render the power grid as obsolete.

Capitol punishment is a joke.
Lets suppose that in the USA their are 20,000 on death row for easy math Lets say that number is now the cap. 20K max!
Number 20,001 coming in kicks up #1 to the chair. Un-emotional and simple. So #20,001 has until his turn at #1 to appeal, fight, shank, get free medical and cable TV. While he is between books and researching a subject for his next... Painting.

Also Capitol punishment is usually reserved for the murder conviction. What about the predatory petifile or rapists, Just like abortion. My view is that we are having to few of both.

How do I create my profile
From the newbie

Ahhh. Wimbledon. The downs what a great venue for a sporting event. I cannot say that I am in complete agreement with the outcome however.
Secretairiet at 6 furlongs on a muddy track is usually a lock at 6/5 But his penalty kick is weak from the blue line is weak from his left. Not since the super secret winged keel
Has a outcome been more one sided. But my main point is after the 4th chucker wimbledon is not nearly as relevant as NASCAR.
