This guy will never see the light of day except through bars or bullet proof glass. He'll be confined to an institution for the criminally insane for the rest of his life.

Another Asian nut case. Just like the Virginia Tech murders. Sorry Canada, now you will have to feed, clothe, house, bathe, and provide for this guys bodily effluents for the rest of his life. Oh also books, TV, excersize, medical & dental needs.

Sometimes I think the Russians have a better system. A single shot to the back of the head and everybody goes home.

Your info is a little dated. The oil in Pennsylvania was sucked out and used up years ago.

I'd bet 80% of the American public would welcome the Clinton administration back for another 8 years in a heartbeat. We had a thriving economy, a budget surplus and respect from the rest of the world.
Just look at where we are today compared to where we were in the 90's.

Well well, it looks like the GOP boilerroom is running 3 shifts these days. 1 guy fron Indianopolis, 1 guy from Kentucky and 1 guy from Switzerland all awake and at their keyboards at the same time and all ready to pounce on any thread that mentions anything negative about Republicans. Are you guys actually all in the same room? Kinda makes one wonder.

Before Ted Stevens' indictment Tuesday, Americans in the lower 48 knew him primarily as the cantankerous, outspoken advocate for Alaska.

The longest-serving Republican in Senate history, Stevens was indicted on charges of concealing gifts he received from an Alaska oil services company.

Stevens is equally known for his prowess in channeling federal dollars to his home state. For years, he served as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, exerting his power to secure funding for projects in Alaska ranging from millions for new airports right down to a few hundred thousand dollars for berry research. He's been a champion of Native Alaskans and — like almost all Alaskan politicians — he favors drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Stevens' son, Ben, has also come under scrutiny, especially for his work as a consultant for companies that need help from his father.


However, the charges announced Tuesday stem largely from renovations to Stevens' house, a modest vacation place in Girdwood, Alaska. In July 2007, FBI and IRS agents swarmed over the place, taking pictures and videos. Federal investigators have charged Stevens with failing to disclose how much help he received in enlarging his home from VECO, a local oil services company, and its chief executive, Bill Allen. According to the indictment, between May 1999 and August 2007, Stevens received more than $250,000 in gifts from VECO, Allen and others. Much of that amount allegedly came in the form of home improvements — including the addition of a new first floor, garage and wraparound deck.

Crude oil is now priced at $121.xx a barrel down $26.xx a barrel from the high in the $147's

I've been trying to alert you all that the crash of oil is coming. Some experts are predicting $70-$80 a barrel. This will give poor to middle class people a much needed and deserved break as well as help our economy to recover like nothing else could. This will also suck the wind out of the sails of people who advocate drilling more oil wells offshore and in our Arctic National Wildlife Reserve.
Instead of trying to solve our energy needs with intelligence, they come up with ham fisted ideas and bandaide patches.

Emanuella, do you believe me now?

May I jump in here? Thank you.

This thread reminded me of the words of a song by Buffy St Marie called "The Universal Soldier"

He's five feet two and he's six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
He's been a soldier for a thousand years

He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain,
a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
and he knows he shouldn't kill
and he knows he always will
kill you for me my friend and me for you

And he's fighting for Canada,
he's fighting for France,
he's fighting for the USA,
and he's fighting for the Russians
and he's fighting for Japan,
and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way

And he's fighting for Democracy
and fighting for the Reds
He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide
who's to live and who's to die
and he never sees the writing on the walls

But without him how would Hitler have
condemned him at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body
as a weapon to a war
and without him all this killing can't go on

He's the universal soldier and he
really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from him, and you, and me
and brothers can't you see
this is not the way we put an end to war.

"I wrote "Universal Soldier" in the basement of The Purple Onion coffee house in Toronto in the early sixties. It's about individual responsibility for war and how the old feudal thinking kills us all. Donovan had a hit with it in 1965."

Thank you HL, I figured you would be interested being a fellow trucker. BTW, have you any idea why the pump price of diesel should be higher than gasoline? This question has never been answered to my satisfaction. I'm sure diesel is closer to crude oil than gasoline is so it just doesn't make any sense.

Lately I have been turning work down unless it pays very well. I wont even start my truck for a marginal job. I guess I'm partly responsible for higher transportation costs.

Maybe I should explain exactly what I'm talking about so you can get some meaningful information from it. I realize what I posted sounds like a bunch of tech speak to a lot of people.

To start with Ethanol is just a popular name for Ethyl Alcohol hence they named it Ethanol. You can drink it so long as it hasn't been adulterated with poison like what they do to rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol that has been spiked with poison is called de-natured alcohol.
Most Ethanol is made from corn which is why the price of everything made from corn and all livestock and the products they produce (eggs, milk, butter, beef, pork etc) is very expensive because the demand for corn to produce ethanol has driven the price of corn through the roof. Corn use to sell for 2-3 dollars a bushel for decades, now it's 8 dollars a bushel.

Cellulosic ethanol is no different from ordinary ethanol made from corn except it isn't made from corn therefore there is no impact on the supply of corn which is mostely used for livestock feed. Did you know that about 90% of corn produced in the US is "feed corn" which isn't fit for human consumption except to make cornmeal? Most people probably think those cornfields you see all over the country is the sweet corn you buy at the store to make corn on the cob or canned corn but it isn't. If you ever tried to eat feed corn you would probably break your teeth.
the word cellulosic comes from the word cellulose which is basically the stuff wood is made of as well as most vegatable matter, corn stalks & cobs, sugar cane, paper & cardboard, weeds, straw etc etc.
There's a whole slew of co's building plants to produce cellulosic ethanol all over the world. The technology is still in development because there are several methods employed to make ethanol from cellulose. Right now these co's are testing all the methods to find out which is the most efficient and cost effective.

I hope that helps.

Cellulosic Ethanol

Cellulosic ethanol is a renewable fuel source produced from biomass- derivedproducts such as sugarcane waste (bagasse), switchgrass, rice straw and woodchips. Cellulose, a long-chain polysaccharide found in nearly all plant life, is the most abundant molecule on earth, and, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), its high-oxygen content reduces carbon monoxide better than any other oxygenated chemical compound.

Next-generation cellulosic ethanol uses advanced biological science to reduce the cost of ethanol production and enable access to a wide variety of biomass. Unlike traditional ethanol manufactured from corn or sugar, cellulosic ethanol production utilizes non-food, plant biomass as its feedstock source. The biomass is first broken down into fermentable sugars using acid or enzymatic hydrolysis and industrial enzymes, after which the sugars are fermented into ethanol using various fermentation organisms. Ethanol produced from cellulosic biomass is believed to have many benefits over first-generation ethanol including, the use of non-food feedstock, substantially greater yield of ethanol per acre of feedstock, minimal exposure to volatile commodity price risks across the production process and a more favorable environmental impact.

The production of cellulosic ethanol in the United States is supported by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which mandates that advanced biofuel production consist of 21 billion gallons by 2022, of which 16 billion gallons must come from cellulosic ethanol.

This renewable fuel, along with other intelligent alternative energy sources like wind, tide, solar, geothermal, and conservation will enable the worlds people to break their dependance on not just foreign oil but crude oil in general.

This is one of the things I dislike about POF. They seem to be really hung up on popularity. "So & so appears on 120 members favorite lists" Oh yeah like I want to be number 121. When I see that I move on. This is a game to a lot of people. Dating sites are founded on 1 principal, to provide a place for singles (and others) to connect with a mate at some level be it dating or long term relationships including marriage.

I personally don't give a damn if I'm popular or shunned by everybody so long as I have one person who loves me and who I love.

From the book of Genesis:

"So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation."

Well, that is not exactly true you see god realized that there would be so much crap in the world that it badly needed an outlet so to speak, a rectum as it were, and so early on the seventh day while everybody was still sleeping, he took a ball of clay (there was lots of clay just laying about back then) and fashioned an asshole and located it in what today is called Brooklyn New York, and he named it Flatbush Avenue. And it was good.

ok Ginger, you asked for it. Here's a little something I wrote a few years ago. It's short and bittersweet.

The Man In The Mirror

Who's that old man in the mirror
looking back at me?

That's surely not the face
I ever thought I'd see

Where's the little boy
I used to know so well?

If only you could speak
surely you would tell

I can wipe the grimey dust
that settles on the glass

But how to wipe away the years
that have come to pass

Goddamn you mirror
why DO you treat me thus?

Go ahead, who cares
mock me if you must
