I'm thinking of starting an electric car business and offering cheaper fuel than what the oil companies are charging. It will save the economy and the air will smell much nicer.

Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
And GET this.. we'd still be spending 5x MORE than what the second biggest spender, China, is spending.. so we could still kick there ass if we had too!
Brilliant!
Do you never get tired of... being like that?
I was born this way. I hear they are working on a cure though.
In reality, his decisions will always have to be centered, although I look at the Democrats as conservative.
Can anyone believe I supported Bush in 2000? (actually I voted for Nader, but thought Bush was the lesser of the two evils... turns out Gore was just a goofball and Bush should have been a car salesman. I was 21 and stupid.)
Oh, I don't think Al Gore is a goofball at all, although conservatives sure have done a great job painting him like that.
You know how many people actually believe that he claimed to invent the internet? Even some Democrats believe that.
Quite honestly, a pro-active environmentalist would have been a much better choice than an alcoholic fratboy draft-dodger. Who knew?

Oh, I get it. You're just trying to be annoying. How cute. :roll:
really!?? ... first you call the OP stupid and then you type smarterer?
nice ... :oops:
as far as the topic ... i'm definitely in on your electric car business ...
Jesus, some people can't understand the rules of the game.
And we have no idea what kind of president Al Gore would have been.
He does it on purpose. I find it funny that everyone jumps on his word choice when it is obviously purposeful. Maybe if you we as smarterer as I be, you'd C it 2.
Well we kinda do... He didn't become president so he just moved forward with his environmental awareness campaigns, humanitarianism and political action.
Dubya ran the country into the ground, left the presidency in disgrace and has done fuck-all since. Well no... He "wrote" a lie-filled memoir that was so inane is should have been stored in the children's fantasy section.
No we kinda don't. If there is one thing that is certain, what a politician says they will do as president and what they do as president are very different. And what someone does when they are free from the confines of the presidency is very different as well. I'm not sure if everyone that gets elected gets brainwashed or if the information they receive once becoming president changes everything for them or what though.
But that is just my opinion.
I think you couldn't be more wrongerer...
I think the character they've both shown gives us an idea... If not knowledge... Of the kind of men they are.

uhhh ... have you read his posts?
strictly refurbished cars ... and GOB is the man with the plan ...
it's called being Amish.

Walkable communities are a great idea...now to convince the majority of people to walk 15 feet. Where I live my neibhour drives to the coffee shop which is a 15 minute round trip walk :?. My wife and I walk to grocery store's, bank etc., then when we do we get run off the sidewalk by people on bikes, when the bike path is on the other side of the road :?, and these people are adults who know better or should. I would love to see better sidewalks, more bike paths and light rail trains. In Windsor, Ontario the government is spending around 5 billion on a new road to a new border crossing, but mention 30-40 million on pathways, they shy away...figure that 1 out.

Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Electric cars are generally only better if you're drawing hydro power. Walking, biking, and mass transit will grow partially as a result of a push if driving becomes more expensive and inconvenient. It takes long-term thinking to build towards walkable communities though, as so many cities are built around the car.
Walkable communities are great and I'm all for them. I wouldn't mind moving to one someday.
That being said, people are spread far and wide across this great country and this concept is just not very feasible except for a relatively small percentage of the people.

Peak oil will change their minds... or at least limit their choices. Better to plan ahead, I say. As for all of us being spread out so far- that's why I support the rebuilding of Americas rail system- our best chance for getting to see family and friends afar in the future.
And ,yes, arthurdent, very Amish... but them I'm 1/2 Amish-- and yes, I do drive, but sparingly, combining trips, ride share and 45 MPG.
I'm going to throw in a plug for hybrids while I'm at it. Yes, they're a little pricier but the saving in fuel makes up the difference in car payments and saves you money in the long run and is better for the environment. Win-win.

This was a great doc! I watched a couple years ago. I would be all over having an Electric Car.
