Yes, but in the 15th century, those dues got you what passed for national defense and maybe some roads? Today my taxes cover national defense, roads, trains and airports, educational services, the court system and social services. They also provide money to fund scientific research, space

Can't speak to consumer use, but yes, at least in racing, that is exactly why E85 is used. Putting out a pit fire, or worse a flaming crew member, when you can't see the flame is a rather difficult task. Also, I suspect it makes taxation and permitting issues much much easier ATF-wise, as 15%

Hi Keith. Sorry if my attempted rhetorical device fell flat. I was just trying to make two separate points wrapped up in one little sarcastic package; first, that we actually do get something worthwhile for our taxes and second, that snarky comparisons to feudel crops tariffs aren't really

This is not about class or income or about those people. It was zoned as an industrial area and had been zoned as such for over 75 years. As far as living on the wrong side of tracks, my house is on the wrong side of tracks. I also happen to live in a town with an economic redevelopment

Seems to me I did exactly that about 2 posts back and you've completely ignored them, but I'll recapitulate them here. Regarding ANWR, at peak production in 2025, it will only reduce US foreign oil consumption by 3 to 6%. Conversely, raising the CAFE standards could do at least twice that,
