You really need to check into this more. Right now it is a bit of an expensive investment, but several folks here in my Town have setup a net zero Solar system. They are still tied into the grid but the amount they sell back balances out the amount they use and they have electric cars. Some businesses are even on a net zero solar system.

I have a Chevy Volt and it costs about $0.50 cents usually, and maybe $1.44 if I completely drain the battery. I get about 32-34 miles on a complete charge in the winter. My electric bill is running about $12-$15 more a month. 16 kwh Solar power can handle that amount of electricity just fine.

I should also point out that in best case scenario, oil changes only need to be done every 2 years.

Yes! A standard library should b e just fine for an elementary school. Maybe have some computers which should run an educational linux system. http://www.linuxplanet.com/lin... has decent list. Don't bother with electronic gadgets like tablets and ebook readers, the kids will just break them.

Police can hold you without charging you for up to 24 hours.

Oh shut up, this is just as much stuff that matters as anything else posted to the site and perhaps more so than a lot of other things.

I most certainly do criticize slave owners. Just like I criticize Nazis involved in the interment camps. Just following orders is not an excuse.

Sentience. Primates have it. Dolphins have it. Whales probably do. Cephlapods might. I do not eat any of those, though truthfully I have tried calamari and find it gross tasting.

The right wingers are not really christian. Joseph Smith wrote some really nutty stuff, but the Church of LDS practices a far more christian faith than most bible thumpers.

I find very depressing that I have more in common with Pastafarians, LDS, and Pagans than I do with my fellow christians.

They have received much in the way of Federal subsidies to upgrade their infrastructure. If they are not going ot do that, then they should be paying it back with high interest.

Free Software folks have their reputation too, and often that is the only thing motivating them.

No, you are confusing the second admendment with the first. Though they do go hand in hand.

I think it goes for about $35 a bottle.

Sure it will if we go Nuclear. Project Orion or Nuclear Thermal (ie Nuclear Light Bub). The Lightbulb gives you both a rocket engine and a power station.

Skynet has to come into being somehow.

Could it be that those that use G+ don't allow ads/cookies/widgets et cetera to track them?

It is called build up your damn infrastructure. Stop taking our money and using it to give the excutives bonuses, and start investing in infrastructure. They get gobs of tax breaks and straight up funding to build infrastructure.

Now they have the gall to complain about folks actually using the unlimited data plan they get sold, because they have not properly built up their infrastructure. Fuck them. Fuck them in the skull.
