Don't laugh too hard, you may need that body part later.


do you know *anything* about ethanol? like, perhaps, that it's cheaper to

produce? that it's RENEWABLE? that it won't just cut down on released

emissions but will also *fix* some of the problems caused by the crap you're

breathing in right now? that it's, by far, the *cheapest* alternative to

petrol-products?

Recommend you re-read the article.


oh, the right wing mind. gotta resist everything, refuse to learn about

anything, refuse to pay for anything that *you* don't get *now* [fuck

everyone else!], and never, ever, ever take your head out of the nice comfy

ass that it's lodged in.


wake up! this is a good thing... 

Again, re-read the article.

Yes, it is better than MTBE and why not just do away with the diesel?

As an aside, the article was from the Sacramento Bee and was about taxation.

When the federal courts started ordering the cities to let black kids go to

political support. 

Didn't know that fact. Thanks.

to
 a

 hike in taxes without a thought about whether it might actually be

 beneficial or not.

 So not wanting to pay higher taxes is now a kneejerk reaction.

it is when the money is being used for something that is beneficial and will
help all of us yet the individual not wanting to pay has not bothered to
look into why this is good for them.the only thing that clicks is
higher taxes.n!.

see, the thing is that you're convinced that taxes were designed to steal
your hard earned money that nobody else deserves and not designed to fund
things that progress society forward. you actually think that you own the
money that you earn; that because *you* worked for it, *you're* entitled to
do whatever *you* want with it. once again, i find this hilariousbut i'm
never going to make you realize that you *don't* own the money, you're
merely *borrowing* it, and it's only in your possession long enough for it
to inflate and park itself back into the bank accounts that it came from.
you don't earn your money, you're granted the priveledge to take it for a
few weeks and then give it back. you have absolutely no right to dictate to
the people that do own the money how much they wish to let you borrow for
their own investment purposes.

do you understand what i'm saying? why i'm so amused by people that complain
about high taxes?

i'll put it to you this way: you like your freedom, right? your free market
economies? well, the fact that you pay taxes is the only reason that they
still exist. you get rid of the taxes and the united states will end up like
venezuelacia coup, man...

 I'm glad you
 explained this point. Why do you find serious things humourous?

i don't find serious things humourous; the article was impossible to take
seriously.
