Get a copy of the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car" about the miraculous
and amazing electric car made my GM in the 1970's that was
given out to celebrities to drive for a year. It never needed any type
of service or repairs, was super fast, quiet and smooth and was a dream
to drive.

It was destroyed in wrecking yards finally despite the owners pleading
with them not to take it back. Every last one was rounded up and
demolished when GM finally realized that, with such an astounding
car, no one would ever buy a replacement car or pay for repairs again.

In a car museum somewhere there is only one left in the world but the
entire engine has been taken out and destroyed.

Frank, Italy's been making 4 banger sports cars for decades. So has Japan.
North American cars are too bulky and heavy to be fast on 4 cylinders. Get rid of all the toys going into a car and you can get decent performance with a 4.
Too much safety equipment, too much toy weight, too many power accessories.

Lotus offers a fine example of what a 4 banger can do.

Andy,
Look up a car called the "Aptera"
Lot of buzz being created over it. Astounding range, good power. Worth a look-see!

I'm not sure about a motor run by magnets, but fuelless electric cars have been viable for years now. GM, Toyata, Ford, and other automakers had cars on the market via lease, but most were recalled and destroyed once they were no longer required to make them.

The real reason that there is braille on drive up machines is because they use the same buttons as the walk up machines, it would cost more to make two different sets of buttons solely for the purpose of preventing blind people from using the drive-ups.

Uhhh... read the NEW Testament. Your lack of knowledge of the bible is evident.

Christianity is not synonymous with a good person. Christianity is synonymous with believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God. Hitler was Christian. He knew that Jesus
is the son of God. He based his genicide on his beliefs. He is not a good person. "he is not SAVED" Christian people want somebody of a Christian denomination to raise their children or live under a certain belief in God. In the Bible it is clearly written that God loves
all people equally. We as Christians, should do the same and not have predujices.

That is what is written in the Bible.

To me the definition of racism is a belief in the superiority one's perceived racial group over another perceived and the action that result from that perceived superiority.
And,conversely the belief in a another group's "inferiority" based solely on personal belief and not hard evidence.

An example: White Americans moving wholesalely from an area that is becoming increasingly minority,lowering the property values by moving and then calling the area the "bad side of town" because of the presence of minorities and the lowered property values.

Or

White Americans not watching shows w/ a predominately minority cast or relegating those shows to time outside of normal viewing hours and then subsequently claiming tha minorities are being prejudiced by starting networks that feature minority casts and viewpoints.

Or

White Americans ignoring scientific facts that lead to the conclusion that mankind evolved from areas in Central Africa based solely on their beliefs that Africans are "inferior" and thus they could not be the descendants of such "inferior" people.

Let me give you and example of how ridiculous Cali is:
I volunteer for an Non-Profit that is setting up a off leash dog park. Now the land was donated by Cal Trans and is a by pass that will never be used. We wanted to cut down all the weeds, level the ground and replant fresh grass, Cal Trans said go ahead. Guess what, Oh no in order to do this we have to pay the Cal EPA $3500 to do a environmental impact study that will take 3 -5 years. This is the kind of crap that makes doing business in this state ridiculous, no wonder businesses are fleeing and revenue is down.

I honestly believe that most of the agencies in the state are just a matter of self perpetuating, give me a pay raise, raise fees, taxation without representation, spun out of control bullsh!t.

No, my friend, men born without a y chromosome are women!

Actually the exact same thing could be said in reverse. Evolution can't stand on its own without creationism either.

There is a growing movement toward taxing obesity.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I was not born in Texas and was only in Texas for about 7 years, ..Most would probably consider me a Californian. Yet where I hang or hung my hat has nothing to do with the matter.

That is why I say it is better to attack the Post rather than the Poster...You get a lot more mileage.

Both Creationsism and Evolution are considered THEORIES
As pointed out by some on here and other places there are some very good THEORIES behind what some call Creationism and some call Intelligent Design. There are also some very good THEORIES behind what some call Evolution.

That is why I am for the teaching of both THEORIES.

Since there is a wide variation in the meaning of Theory I decided not to include a defination of theory in my post. It looks like the word Theory would make a good debate in itself.

Fatties have no one to blame but themselves. I don't believe that fat people have it any worse than anyone else. The fat people just like to complain, and they blame others for their own failings. There are plenty of successful people who are fat. They don't make up complaints about how unfair it is for fat people.

To me that would be the better compromise, especially if the teacher does it correctly. A good teacher would not knock either theory but give good research on both theories, with time for questions but not classroom debate. This would leave the students with some discussions to bring home and discuss with their parents and friends.

The fact of evolution is the basis of all biology, and by extension of all applications of biology (notably including medicine.) Trying to learn biology or any anything related to biology without it is like trying to learn physics without math.

Anyone who seriusly believes the absolute falsehood that evolution has not been conclusively proven is either tragically brainwashed or a complete f***ing idiot.
