There's no way that another terrorist attack on NYC could happen again. How is Bush going to set it up if he's not even in office

It's called deficit spending. It's all George W did

Amen, in a technological world the only way to stay competitive is to have the most advanced technology

What the American ppl need is another space race. Nothing instills national pride more than starting the first McDonalds on the moon before China, or beating the ESA in the construction of DisneyMars. We have gotten lazy, we haven't even been on the moon in decades.

I remember from history class there used to be a thing called manifest destiny, where America was ordered by God to spread from sea to shining see. Maybe it's time we spread from Supernova to shining black hole

As science and medicine continue to grow at an exponential rate, the year in which average life expectancy increases by one year will be the point of immortality for the majority of extant homo sapiens. With life expectancy inreasing by more than .1 years per year, we will inevitably live forever as this rate increases. If you are 50 years old and the average life expectancy is 80, then when you're 51 the average life expectancy is 81.3, and at 52 your projected death age is 83, you can see that modern medicine is the elixir of life.

So unless 2012 apacolypse destroys mankind, I plan on seeing the day our sun transforms into a red giant and engulfs the earth.

Wow. Then in the future there will also be an arbitrary number of STDs

There's a few upgrades my body needs before a bionic telescoping eye. They are
1. USB port
2. Carbon fiber legs
3. Touch screen interface

Farm related porn will flood the interweb

This is clearly an attempt to deceive.
This is Sega's final attempt at a console

I post this only to enlighten slashdotters of other perspectives on the matter of these gas guzzlers, which, in principle I am completely against, but in my own reality I love and cherish. And in order to comprehend the mirth brought into life by such environmentally unfriendly modes of transportation one must grasp how ones native geography influentially sculpts its residences life perspectives.

I am a Montanan (burn slowly in hell Miley Cyrus! (youtube Montana if you want to feel my pain)), which means I come from a state about equal in size to Germany or Japan. For some reason, unlike these other two states, no one lives in MT, maybe its the -20 weather weve been having or the foot of snow we got lost night. None the less, with a population under one million you can imagine how sparsely populated the state is. For me to travel to the next town of more than 10,000 inhabitants involves at least an hour and a half journey, and any others requires at least 3 hours.

So what vehicle to use to traverse the tundra? 4 wheel drive isnt a must, but youre crazy to elect a vehicle without it. There are a handful of great 4x4 sedans that can get me from G-Funk to Boozeman, but the real question is what do I enjoy the most?

SUVs and trucks enable the ability to haul your entertainment with you. Whether it be 10 of you in a suburban drinking and cruising on the back roads or hooking up your snowmobiles for a weekend in the Little Belts with your half ton, you know you can bring enjoyment to nature where you go. Theres nothing I love more in the summer than loading my truck up with a raft, inner tubes, beer, people and tunes chilling on the river for a day. Or bringing my dirt bike up to abandoned logging roads and just cruising through the mountains without another soul on the road.

City dwellers find it illogical and impractical to own these un-economical autos, and I agree, they exemplify, nay, promote American greed and squalor. But I look past this and use them to indulge in, surprisingly, a lifestyle where I take full advantage of nature; even though by doing I help destroy what I love. And in America, I am glad I have the choice to drive what provides me with the most personal satisfaction.
  Im sad to see these manufacturers go down

I have to say I love this global warming. In the Northern Rockies of the USA we had the most snow fall in 23 years. The best year of skiing I've ever had.

Dear Snowgod
Please make ppl drive S.U.V.s, burn coal, melt plastic idc just as long as this "global warming" continues

Amen
